Our thoughtful experts are ready with ideas, inspiration and advice for your next journey.
Are you the diver who seeks out the remote corners of the world, where currents rip and you’re the smallest thing in the water? Do you live for mysterious underwater wrecks and caverns, perusing the depths and extending your skills to underwater photography or navigation?
For divers who get hooked and want to see ever more of the underwater world, gaining an advanced certification is a must. Not only does it let you dive deeper into all that the marine scene has to offer (and, given we know more about outer space than the depths of our own oceans, there really is a lot to discover) but it also gives you access to some of the more remote and challenging destinations which require an advanced certification.
If you want more thrill (or simply more skill) there are several sites around the globe that fit the bill from diving above a cloud of schooling hammerheads in the Galapagos and riding the current through a French Poly pass, to perfecting your skill behind the camera lens in Egypt and hitting a new max depth in Micronesia. We've done the research of scouting out the top spots for advanced divers then meticulously vetted them against knowledge, experience and safety standards.
Take a look at The 11 Best Dive Sites in the World blog to gain inspiration for your next holiday or explore the itineraries below to see our top destinations that will give you that first breath underwater excitement all over again.
