Scuba Diving, Best in the World

By: Arran Rabel

Among the world's most popular water sports is scuba diving. Many are drawn to the idea of exploring the underwater and its mysteries. Such things as exploring shipwrecks, swimming with the fishes, and even sharks is just too exciting for some people to leave alone. Certification is usually not a problem, but diving equipment can be costly. There are many rental shops to solve this problem. They are usually close to the best diving locations.

The very best scuba diving in the world is the Great Barrier Reef in Australia. You will see hundreds of species of beautiful tropical fish and marine mammals. The reef itself is amazing. There are a variety of accommodations in this area where the weather is always perfect. If you still need to be certified, you can find companies that will take you on expeditions as well as give you lessons. If you prefer it, you can go snorkeling instead. You shouldn't miss the Great Barrier Reef if you ever get to Australia. It is a rare, natural phenomenon, and is protected and ready for you to explore.

The reef off of the eastern coast of Mexico is also a wonderful area to scuba dive and is the second largest in the world. The reef lies in the warm Caribbean Ocean and is a fantastic location to view many varieties of tropical fish, living coral reef, and even sea turtles if you are lucky. Unfortunately, however, the reef is severely damaged inn some areas due to recent severe hurricanes. This area thrives on tourism and there are many adventure tours that will take you to fantastic scuba diving locations.

The Mayan Riviera, as it's known, has resorts that are all-inclusive. If you stay in one of them, you will learn to dive in the pool, be certified, and be whisked off to fabulous scuba diving locales by a professional guide. To avoid being scammed by someone not really qualified, choose a resort with a solid reputation.

These aren't the only areas where e you can find great scuba diving. Besides coral reefs, many love finding and exploring wrecks. Two wonderful areas for this activity are Florida and the Spanish coast.

Please remember not to touch a coral reef if you dive near one. It is a living organism that is extremely sensitive. Even a soft touch can kill it. When that happens it takes years to reproduce itself, so please be very careful.

Scuba diving is an exciting activity that just about anyone will enjoy.
