Dive Guide Book

This is a question that has been puzzling divers since diving began. What are the top 10 dive sites in the world? Well I have not been fortunate enough to dive all of them, but I have done some brainstorming with other divers, investigated on the web and in the dive books, and have come up with what I think are the top 10 dive sites in the world....

Top 10

1. Chuuk Lagoon
Chuuk Lagoon is in Micronesia, in The Pacific. The dive sites contain the remains of the Japanese fleet destroyed by US planes in WW2.
2. The Galapagos
The galapagos have unique species and it is a place that some of the big animals such as the Whale Sharks like to congregate.
3. Yongala
The wreck of the SS Yongala is situated off Australian's Queensland coast. She sank during a cyclone on her 99th voyage.
4. The Thistlegorm
Another wreck dive, The SS Thistlegorm sank in The Red Sea and her holds still contains the military equipment she was carrying when she was bombed.
5. Scapa Flow
Located in Scotalnd's Orkney Islands, this ancient shipping anchorage contains countless wrecks, many battleships from both world wars were scuttled in these waters.
6. The Maldives
This is made up of a large collection of atolls in the middle of the India Ocean, containing all manner of div types with plenty of big fish to see.
7. Ningaloo Reef
On the Western coast of Australia, this reef is smaller than the Great Barrier Reef, but has just as much to see plus the Whale Sharks swim past between April and July.
