Hello Guys,ofcourse there is a lot of diving destinations on this blue planet and when you arediver you will be looking to visit all of them cause everyplace have its own beauty, but lets be honest, life is short ,we only have time for limited choices ,specially for us the divers of planet earth J So I will try to speak from my point of view about the best places the diver can’t miss.
1-
Galapagos - Ecuador
It's not cheap but for those of us who prefer diving as far away from overcrowded and overdeveloped resort destinations as possible, the price of an all-inclusive liveaboard tour of the Galapagos Islands is well worth it.
The best time to visit the Galagagos is from December through June
2-
New Guinea
For divers who seek the ultimate opportunity to witness nature's awe-inspiring biodiversity before overdevelopment, overcrowding and pollution degrade and destroy it, New Guinea is probably the best choice

Cocos Island - Costa Rica
You’re into close encounters with sharks of the unfed kind; there is no better dive destination on the face of the planet than Cocos Island, Costa Rica. This is the real no-nonsense thing, top-of-the-food-chain big predator action by which all other shark diving destinations are measured.
Situated some 600 kilometers (375 miles) off the west coast of Costa Rica, the expedition begins with a rough 36-hour trip out to Cocos Island and its seamounts. The day and a half trip to Cocos and its status as a United Nations World Heritage Site ensure that this destination will remain undisturbed by the overdevelopment and mass tourism claptrap that ruin so many dive resort developments.
Cocos Island is not for everyone and unlike dive resorts, it doesn't want to be. The conditions are demanding. Powerful currents, limited visibility and thermoclines challenge even the most experienced and adventuresome divers. This is no place for beginners, or warm-water resort divers twirling cute little umbrellas around in their tropical drinks.
All of the dive sites are excellent and depending on the season, you may see mantas, whalesharks, whitetips and schooling hammerheads all on the same dive. The three liveaboards that have been authorized to take divers to Cocos offer rebreather training and certification which is conducted during the crossing from the mainland. It's worth doing to enhance the opportunity for close encounters with hammerheads that shy away from diver bubbles
best time to go is from May to December.

Red Sea
The Red Sea is one of the most beautiful places in the world to go diving.
This sharp contrast between the desolate beauty of the desert and the riotous colors of a marine ecosystem pulsating with a mind-boggling variety and concentration of marine life gives divers in the Red Sea something uniquely different
Situated between Asia and Africa, and stretching more than 1,000 miles from the Sinai Peninsula to the Indian Ocean, the Red Sea boasts over a thousand species of fish, 200 species of coral and another thousand species of invertebrates
Despite its close proximity to Europe and its popularity with divers around the world, the reefs of the Red Sea are still mostly pristine thanks to strong commitment from local authorities and dive operators to protect marine habitats
When to Go
For scuba divers, the Red Sea is an attractive dive destination throughout the year. Summer can be unbearably hot when you're not in the water.
5-
Maldives
The beauty of these tiny atolls is breathtaking and surpassed only by the astonishing spectacle of marine life so colorful and so diverse, you'll need to bring along a marine biologist to identify it all
Even when El Nino devastated Maldives reefs in 1998, marine life continued to flourish and the reefs are already coming back. Compared to long-term and irreversible damage caused by mass tourism and overdevelopment in many overcrowded coastal resort areas around the world, El Nino is an anomalous, insignificant blip on the Maldives timeline. The water is still crystal-clear and the pinnacles, dropoffs and reefs are swarming with marine life
For serious dive travelers who want to explore the world's richest and most diverse undersea habitats, the Maldives, like Papua New Guinea and the Galapagos, is one of the world's must-dive destinations
7-
Chuuk - Truk Lagoon
Chuuk is more than just another wreck dive. It is an opportunity to witness the power of nature to transcend our lunacy and create life where once we sought death and destruction
In Truk Lagoon, tools of violence and destruction have been transformed into astonishingly beautiful living ecosystems.
Lying on the bottom of Truk Lagoon, the World War II wrecks are gradually disintegrating and in their place, nature is creating complex and extraordinary ecosystems that are uniquely fascinating and beautiful
8-
Sulawesi - Indonesia
some of the world's most beautiful reefs,Divers who are willing to take the risk should book with dive travel specialists who work closely with the dive operators and resorts they represent and conduct frequent onsite inspections.
9-
