The Gunilda was a luxury steam yacht billed as the most opulent boat at the turn of the 20th Century. In 1911, she ran aground on McGarvey’s Shoal in Canada, which reaches up from 280 feet (85 meters) to within 3 feet (1 meter) of the surface. The passengers abandoned ship and salvage efforts began, but the hull filled with water and she sank to 270 feet (82 meters). Today, the wreck remains perfectly intact and as scenic as the day she sank, but only tec and trimix divers are able to behold her beauty.

Located in the northern section of Red Sea, the SS Thistlegorm is known to many as the best wreck dive in the world. A popular liveaboard stop, it’s accessible by both dive safari and day trips from Sharm El-Sheikh. This 420-foot (128-meter) British transport ship was sunk in 1941 following a German air attack. At advanced recreational depths, the Thistlegorm is a fantastic glimpse into history. Divers can still view the ship’s cargo, including tanks, trucks, jeeps, motorcycles and even a locomotive! You’ll need at least two dives to fully see everything the Thistlegorm has to offer.

We always recommend taking the Wreck Diver course before wreck diving. In general, there are three types of wreck diving: [links]

Occasionally treacherous conditions make the Great Lakes a sailor’s nightmare and a wreck diver’s dream. The depths of the Lakes mean that many of the wrecks will never be visited, but those that have been discovered generally remain in pristine condition due to the cold and fresh water.

• St. Kitts
The dive sites of this small island in the West Indies are a mix of wrecks, walls, caves and pinnacles. The reefs are made up of many species of coral and hundreds of species of fish. Turtles, sharks, rays, and even dolphins and sometimes whales are found in its waters. Usually you will enjoy excellent visibility. calm seas, little to no current, and very comfortable water temperatures. This makes St Kitts a little slice of Caribbean heaven for less experienced divers . [links]

• Recommended length of stay - Don't get stuck for 10 days in a 2-dive site town - and don't get caught short in the Lembeh Strait and spend just a day when you could, and should, be diving there for a week.

• Philippines
Located in the north of the Coral Triangle, the diversity of marine life in the Philippines is second to none and there are many different regions to explore. Tubbataha in the remote Sulu Sea is touted as one of the best dive destinations in the world. The Visayas and Mimaropa regions have an incredible range of exciting options, with whale sharks and thresher sharks on show, plus amazing macro life such as an endless list of crustaceans and nudibranchs. Then there are the fascinating World War 2 wrecks to explore in Coron . [links]

• Mexico
There is something for everyone in Mexico since it is as diverse below as it is above the water. On the Caribbean side you have great visibility around Caribbean reefs near popular tourist spots like Cozumel and Cancun, and the world-famous Cenotes which offer a unique underwater experience. On the Pacific side you can enter the water to be surrounded by sharks, mantas, whale sharks, sea lions and whales. Places like the Socorro Islands, Guadalupe (famous for great white cage diving), and the Sea of Cortez promise turbo-charged dives that will leave you wide-eyed and high-fiving your buddy . here

What makes this dive destination so unique and the reason why it is in my top 10 best dive sites in the world, is not because of the stunning corals or amazing topography or even the wide variety of unusual marine life that inhabits this excellent dive destination, but because Pulau Komba is an active volcano.

The SS Thistlegorm was a World War Two Cargo Vessel that was sunk by German bombers on 6th October 1941. Most of the ship sits upright and offers easy access for divers to explore the ship’s holds. The stern section houses two anti-craft guns and is ironically where the German Bombs struck, this section has been sheared off from the rest of the ship and sits at an angle on the seafloor at a depth of 30 meters.

Meeting a mola-mola in Bali is like the Grail for many scuba divers visiting the Indonesian island, but you will need a bit of luck to see one. To increase the odds, make sure to go in the heart of the season, go diving in Nusa Lembongan and plan enough to scuba dive Crystal Bay several times, at least twice.

Near the east pontoon of the bay of Pemuteran, you can go on a sunset dive to hopefully meet the most romantic fish of the ocean, the mandarin fish. Beyond its superb colour of green, blue and orange, they always live as couples for life. here
