Sharks are common, as are Eagle Rays, Mantas, Dolphins, Turtles, and large fish such as Tuna, schools of Barracuda, and more.
The Maldive Islands are a series of coral atolls built up from the crowns of a submerged ancient volcanic mountain range. The Maldives is a low-lying nation with dreamy white sand beaches and excellent reefs with an abundance of marine life. Scuba diving is done at a leisurely drift pace as the Indian monsoon current sweeps along the island chains, moving nutrients and divers along. This rich water flows up along the walls, feeding the soft coral clinging to the rock sides.
The Galapagos Islands were chosen by Rodale's Scuba Diving as the world's top all around dive site for the year 2000. The Islands were also chosen for the top spot in "Best Fish Life", "Best Big Animal Dive", "Best Advanced Diving" and scored among the top as the "Healthiest Marine Environment", and "Best Value".

Raja Ampat, which is on the northwest tip of the Bird’s Head Peninsula of West Papua, and has 603 hard coral species which represents more than
75% of all the species in the world. With its rich ecosystem and abundance of species, Raja Ampat is
the bull’s-eye of the Coral Triangle in every sense.

Dive sites are generally accessed from shore and warm summer water temperatures, visibility in excess of 30m and a huge variety of sites from arches, cracks, caverns and wrecks means each day will be another great dive adventure.
