Sensational Scuba Diving Trips
<strong>In a world that's covered with water, the selection of
destinations for scuba diving trips is endless.</strong>
Many recreational activities are limited as to where they
can be found, but scuba diving is one of those sports that
can be enjoyed the world over. Thousands of travelers
schedule scuba diving trips each year as part of their
yearly vacations.
Divers who prefer not to travel too far can find a location
within close flying distance. Others who prefer something a
little more exotic can certainly locate incredible diving in
a far-off country.
Wherever your desire to travel may take you, the diving is
sure to be exciting and varied. Each scuba diving trip
offers something different from the one before, thanks to
the diverse marine life living in the oceans of the world.
Consider some of these worldwide scuba diving destinations
for your next diving trip.
<strong>St. Lucia</strong>
Located in the southeastern Caribbean, St. Lucia is not only
a divine destination to visit on land, but also the ideal
place to enjoy an incredible scuba diving vacation. Wrecks
are plentiful and there are lots of shallow reefs.
Divers should be sure to visit The Pinnacles, considered one
of the best diving sites in the Caribbean. You'll also want
to visit the wreck of the Lesleen M., home to humongous crab
and lobster.
<strong>Dominica</strong>
Guests come to Dominica specifically to bask in the true
natural beauty of the island. One of the Lesser Antilles and
located between Guadalupe and Martinique, the island
attracts hundreds of eco-tourists each year.
Coral reefs are plentiful, there are a few wrecks, and
guests can even dive in two of the island's hot springs.
Subterranean volcanic activity makes the waters around
Dominica fascinating.
Don't miss Scott's Head, at the south end of the island,
where night diving is quite popular and pretty amazing.
<strong>The Florida Keys</strong>
For U.S. residents who prefer domestic travel, the Florida
Keys offer a number of fine diving opportunities. From end
to end, the
waters around the keys are full of reefs that
give divers a close looks at dozens of varieties of fish.
The wreck of the British freighter Benwood, run aground
towards the end of World War II, is a terrific place to see
huge grunts and snappers as well as beautiful Atlantic
spadefish.
<strong>Italy</strong>
Italy's island of Sardinia, the 2nd largest in the
Mediterranean, is considered one of the premiere diving
locations in the world. Thanks to its temperate
Mediterranean climate, Sardinia is truly a year-round diving
mecca.
The sea boasts lots of caves and coral reefs and you'll see
fish here that you won't find on domestic or Caribbean
dives. As the Mediterranean was the site of many World War
II naval battles, wrecks are plentiful and varied.
<strong>Australia and New Zealand</strong>
A scuba diving trip to the Great Barrier Reef of Australia
is, of course, the dream of every avid diver. In fact, all
the waters around Australia and New Zealand are perfect for
diving.
The waters around the continent are both tropical and
temperate so marine life is quite varied. Dive shops are
plentiful so it's never hard to find a dive trip to fit your
needs.
<strong>Additional Destinations</strong>
Possible diving destinations are too numerous to mention.
Choose a part of the world you wish to visit and check out
local diving locations in that area.
Most of the islands of the Caribbean offer great diving
opportunities. More exotic destinations may include the
South Pacific, the Red Sea, Spain's Canary Islands, or the
coastal areas of Africa.
<strong>Certification</strong>
So you won't be disappointed, be sure that your diving
certification is up-to-date before you depart on a scuba
diving trip. Check the requirements for each destination to
be certain that you comply.
