- Australia:
Most people harbour a particular image of Australia, such
as the Opera House or Uluru, formerly known as Ayers Rock.
Yet these famous icons do scant justice to the richness
of Australia's natural treasures and its cultural diversity.
Australia offers a wealth of travel experiences, from
the drama of the outback and the diving spectacle of the
Great Barrier Reef, to the cosmopolitan city of Sydney
and arguably the best beaches in the world.
- Papua New Guinea:
A land of variety and contradiction, PNG is one of the
most exciting, remote and adventurous places on the planet.
Wild nature and unknown cultures, crystal clear waters,
tropical islands, towering mountain ranges covered with
thick rainforests, spectacular volcanoes and some of the
best dive spots in the world. Papua New Guinea is a diver's
dream.
- Micronesia:
Micronesia is the collective name given to two thousand
tiny tropical islands scattered over more than three million
square miles of the Western Pacific Ocean. The eight island
groups that form Micronesia (Guam, Palau, the Marianas,
Ponhpei, Yap, Truk (Chuuk), the Marshalls and Kosrae)
each have their own unique culture, language, history
and stunning tropical attractions. Many of these islands
are the summits of huge underwater mountains or the rims
of sunken volcano craters peaking over the water surface
to surround tropical lagoons.
- Fiji:
Fiji is our latest addition in this group of fine diving
destinations. Fiji is a very popular beach holday place
and diving is offered everywhere. However, as you will
all know, not every reef which looks nice from the surface
is really that spectacular once you are down there with
a tank. However, Fiji does have a great number of fantastic
dive locations, especially around the outlying islands
of Kadavu and Taveuni as well as Rakiraki and Beqa Lagoon
on Fiji's main island are world class dive sites and very
welcoming resorts.
If you prefer live-aboards, a small number of very good
options are available.
- South
East Asia: Throughout South East Asia divers can
encounter an abundance of marine life in just about every
imaginable colour and shape. The seas are inhabited by
hundreds of types of hard and soft corals, anemones, colourful
nudibranchs, countless varieties of shellfish, manta rays
and pelagics. Sipadan, Similan Islands, Burma Banks, Komodo,
Wakatobi, Manado, Lembeh Straights, Raja Ampat are all
synonymous for excellence in diving!
The tropical location of these dive regions and long established
professional dive operations offer totally unique diving
opportunities, making South Asia one of the world's greatest
dive destinations !
- Solomon
Islands: Those lured to the Solomons by the promise
of extraordinary natural features will not be disappointed.
The islands have a well-deserved reputation as amongst
the world's best destination for scuba divers, snorkellers
and fishing freaks. Despite its long, often bloody history,
most historical interest in the Solomons surrounds its
pivotal role as a strategic site in the Pacific in WWII.
The number of WWII naval wrecks in the waters of Iron
Bottom Sound are testament to the ferocity and destructive
power of battle.
- Dive
The World: Although we are very confident that
the above dive destinations will keep you wanting to come
back over and over again, we acknowledge that there are
other "must-do" dive destinations which are
outside "our region".
In the "dive the world" section we feature a
couple of all time favourites like Naia in Fiji, the Undersea
Hunter to Cocos Island and others. We have arrangements
with many other dive operations around the world. So if
you cannot find your next dive destination on the webpage,
please send us an e-mail
and we will be very happy to help.
