One of the best ways to get up close and personal with nature while taking care of the environment is scuba diving. Not only will you learn a lot about the wondrous underwater world, but you’ll also come into direct contact with all sorts of sea creatures like fish, coral, and even sharks.
So, there are beautiful diving destinations all over the world that you can travel to without a guilty conscience. The advantage is that in all the places listed in this article you will have close contact with numerous marine species.
But which places are particularly suitable for sustainable diving tourism? Find out in this article, in which we introduce you to the best place to scuba dive in three different countries around the world. All those spots will make every environmentally conscious diver’s heart beat faster.
What’s so special about it:
It is hard to pinpoint the best of Palau as it offers a mix of everything divers want to see and experience. From skimming past sharks and other big schools of fish to the very popular World War II wrecks, and abundant reefs. A dip in Palau and its chain of 200 islands will not disappoint you.
Best Time to Dive:
You can plan a dive in Palau anytime during the year. Lying in the western Pacific about 650 km to the southeast of the Philippines, the water temperature in Palau is constant almost throughout the year at about 29 to 30-degree celsius.
You don’t have to worry about visibility as well and that is another reason why Palau is the ideal diving destination. Except for the months from July to September, the visibility drops to 15 to 20m otherwise it is often around 40m or more.

Please note: Make sure to check each country’s entry requirement before you book a flight – things change rather quickly at the moment and entry requirements will also depend on where you are coming from.
The usual rules apply once you arrive: wear your mask, sanitize, screen your temperature, and keep your distance. Visitors should also install the TraceEkee app for contact tracing. here
Another aspect I find super intriguing when it comes to diving in the Galapagos is the lack of mass tourism and the focus on eco-travel. I am currently eyeing a liveaboard with Galapagos Shark Diving, a great company that offers eco dive liveaboards with a focus on conservation.
