Scuba Diving, Best in the World
by Aaron Noble

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 Great Barrier Reef in Australia is bar none the best
place in the world to scuba dive. There are hundreds of
fascinating species of tropical fish, marine mammals, and
the reef itself is truly breath taking. The weather is
beautiful year-round and there are many accommodations in
the area. If you are a novice scuba diver or require
certification there are many companies that offer
expeditions and lessons in the Barrier Reef area. If scuba
diving isn~t your thing, you can always give snorkeling a
try. The Great Barrier Reef is a natural phenomenon that
should not be missed, be sure to explore this protected
underwater oasis on any trip to Australia.
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.
This area is called the Mayan Riviera and houses many
all-inclusive resorts. They will help you get certified in
diving and then guides will take you to the best locations
to scuba dive. First you will spend a few hours in the hotel
pool learning how to dive. When everyone is proficient
enough, they will whisk you off to your scuba adventure.
Since people have been scammed or taught by
non-professionals, so the best way to avoid this is to stay
in a good resort. This will usually ensure that you will
learn the proper techniques as well as be safe.
These aren't the only places to experience fantastic scuba
diving. Some divers prefer diving for shipwrecks than they
do coral reefs. Florida and off the coast of Spain are two
of the best regions for this activity.
A word of caution: if you are diving in an area where there
is a coral reef, please do not touch the reef at all. It
is very sensitive and can die at the slightest touch.
Unfortunately it can take many years for a reef to
regenerate itself so extra precautions must be taken.
Scuba diving is an exciting activity that just about anyone
will enjoy.
