Ever wanted to go on a diving holiday, but not where to start out? These five places are not only some of the best spots in the world for diving, but they\u2019re also in places that you\u2019d want to spend a vacation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\n

Great Barrier Reef, Australia
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Great<\/div>\n

It may be an obvious one, but the longest coral reef in the world has oodles of fish, coral and other animals from turtles to crocodiles \u2013 there are thirty species of whales and dolphins alone. Plus, you\u2019ll get to tick off one of the world\u2019s natural wonders at the same time.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Providenciales, Turks & Caicos
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Providenciales,<\/div>\n

A 25 mile long island (one of its beaches stretches 12 miles alone), \u201cProvo\u201d has spectacularly clear waters, coral reefs and plenty of shipwrecks to start exploring, as well as wildlife including reef sharks to get your viewing teeth into.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Red Sea, Egypt
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Red<\/div>\n

The Red Sea is renowned for the quality of its diving, but it\u2019s the crystal clear Gulf of Aqaba \u2013 between Egypt<\/a>\u2019s Sinai peninsula and the Middle East \u2013 where conditions are best. Sharm El Sheikh, at the southern tip, is the main resort, but boho little fishing town Dahab, an hour north, is equally good for diving.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Hawaii, USA
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Hawaii,<\/div>\n

With its waters staying warm all year round, Hawaii<\/a>\u2019s a great place to hop over for a quick spot of diving. Just north of the main islands is Papahanaumokuakea Marine National Monument \u2013 one of the largest marine reserves in the world.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Maria La Gorda, Cuba
\n<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Maria<\/div>\n

On the western tip of Cuba, Maria La Gorda is tricky to get to (you\u2019ll need to take a bus from Havana) but the diving is well worth it. The waters are full of shipwrecks (it was a hotspot for pirates back in the day), incredible wildlife and a black coral reserve.<\/p>\n
