Top 5 countrys for scuba diving? Your opinion?

Question

My top 5 dive country in the world would have to be Australia ,Thailand,New Zealand,Tonga,South Africa what do you reckon?

Answer 1

Tobago and the Cays in St. Vincent in the Grenadines is awesome!!!!!!!!  Basically anywhere in the Caribbean you can find some pretty good snorkeling.  Also Australia is amazing!

Answer 2

Thailand (Andaman Sea, not Gulf of Siam), Red Sea, Maldives, Indonesia, Palau are just a few.  The Pacific and Indian Oceans tend to have better a diversity of organisms than the Atlantic and Caribbean due to the fact that the P & I are geologically much older.

Answer 3

Definitely Australia and New Zealand but I know of a very good one in Malta too.

Answer 4

Okinawa is awesome for recreational diving, it has the Kerama Islands for boat diving where I think it beats Australia or any other of those more known about locations 10 fold.

All over Asia has great diving, Thailand, Philippines not to mention the underwater ruins and hammer head sharks at Yonaguni

For Technical and Cave Diving my love will always be the Florida Caves and the deep wrecks of the east coast.
