]]> Australia is a dream destination for scuba divers. While the Great Barrier Reef is probably the first thing that comes to mind, there are plenty of other, lesser-known, diving destinations in Australia that are worth exploring. 

Townsville, Queensland

Townville is home to one of the most popular shipwreck dives in Australia: the SS Yongala. The ship got caught in a cyclone and sank off Cape Green in 1911. Although entering the interior of the ship is forbidden, the rich marine life surrounding the wreck is spectacular to see.

Ningaloo Reef, Western Australia

Ningaloo Reef has over 260 species of hard corals and is home to turtles, tropical fish, and humpback whales. It’s also hailed as the best place in the world to swim with whale sharks. Contrary to popular belief, these 12 meters long fish are harmless. The best time to spot these gentle giants is from mid-March to mid-September.

Lizard Island, Queensland

Lizard Island is the northernmost resort along the Great Barrier Reef and is known for its breathtaking dives sites. One of them is the famous Cod Hole, named after the dozen potato cod that live there. 

Julian Rocks, New South Wales

Julian Rocks was formed by a volcanic eruption some 20 million years ago and is world-renowned for its rich marine life. It was even listed as one of the top diving destinations in the world by Lonely Planet.

]]> Africa is home to a stunning variety of beautiful flora and fauna. The continent is famous for its safaris and walking tours. But what about the wildlife that’s under Africa’s oceans? Check out these four diving spots and discover the amazing seascapes of African marine life.

Benguerra Island, Mozambique

This dive site is accessible and is home to a wide variety of coral and fish. You can also see humpback whales, manta rays, whale sharks, green turtles, stingrays, parrotfish, and puffers.

Cape Town, South Africa

Perhaps one of Africa’s best-kept diving secrets, the dive site at Cape Town has a magical golden kelp forest that is teeming with life. It is home to many species of shark, octopus, and large schools of fish.

Edge of Reason, Mozambique

At this dive site, you can find many kinds of fish and marine plants within sprawling caverns and labyrinthine caves. Take the plunge at this site and you’ll feel like you’re in another world. This site is only for advanced divers.

Mafia Island, Tanzania

This is a speciality spot for seeing the ancient whale sharks. These majestic creatures are akin to elephants lumbering across the plains up on the land.

]]> The Red Sea is known as one of the best places to dive in the world. The high salt content in the water combined with the year-long mild water temperatures gives it a unique environment for coral, fish, and other marine species. With warm temperatures even in the winter, it attracts divers all months of the year.

1) Thistlegorm

Near Sharm el-Sheikh, You will need multiple sessions in order to fully experience this dive ranked as a top-5 in the world. In 1941, a 340-foot British vessel was sunk while carrying a cargo of war supplies including motorcycles, train carriages, and trucks. Seeing full vehicles preserved from World War II overgrown with beautiful coral and rare fish is an incredible experience!

2) Shark and Yolanda Reef

Its close proximity to Sharm El Sheikh makes this dive very popular. Good chances that you will see sharks, tuna, and other large marine animals. Another wreck, named after the freighter Yolanda, features among other things a large collection of toilets and the captain’s BMW. Lionfish, stingray, and eels line the ship, and the combination of wreck dive, two beautiful reefs, and rare animals make this dive almost unreal!

3) Brother Islands

These islands, which are part of Egypt’s nationally preserved marine park, are harder to access and much more isolated. Silvertips and grey reef sharks are frequently spotted here, and sometimes divers catch a glimpse of the rare hammerhead shark. The underground formation of the islands makes for a vertical wall lined with beautiful coral.
