A
Corfu, Greece
Corfu may be wellknown for its party atmosphere, but it's beneath the surface of its shining Mediterranean waters that things get really lively.
Here, you can put on your diving equipment on the beach and head out into the bay where you'll find a rock wall reaching to depths of around 30 meters, sheltering a wide variety of impressive wildlife.
Normandy, France
As one of the most fascinating dive sites in the world, the shores off the coast of Normandy in France offer divers a look into the destruction of the Second World War's most memorable battle.
This Normandy dive is a beautiful, yet haunting view into the past, the dark and cloudy waters only adding to the fascinating atmosphere of the location.
Lanzarote, Spain
Out on the eastern reaches of the Atlantic Ocean, Lanzarote sits in the Canary Islands and is the finest of the lots when it comes to diving.
An active volcanic island. The explosive power of Lanzarote has carved out some truly beautiful landscapes over the years, both above and below the water's surface. Just off the coast of the island, you'll find deep rock walls, caves and trenches; striking, dramatic and teeming with (遍布) life.
Lofoten, Norway
Set in the southern reaches of the Arctic Ocean, the waters that surround the Lofoten Islands of Norway are teeming with life. The Lofoten Islands offer striking scenery as a backdrop to your Arctic diving adventure.
Beneath the waves, Lofoten is just as magnificent. Large species of coral, plants, fishes, crustaceans (甲壳纲动物) and jellyfish all call the waters around Lofoten home, making for some truly breathtaking diving experiences.
