1. Bloody Bay Wall, Little Cayman Island

Best Wall Dive into the Blue

With a sheer vertical wall covered in colorful corals and giant barrel sponges, Bloody Bay Wall in Little Cayman features a spectacular drop into the deep blue, from 20 feet (6 m) to over 1000 feet (300 m) deep. The coral here is stunning in its variety and shape, breathtaking not only during the day, but also at night, when much of it glows in the dark.

Many corals host bioluminescent microscopic creatures that emit light due to various environmental triggers, creating an otherworldly nighttime scene. The corals can also fluoresce, meaning they can absorb light and re-emit it in different colors, which you can see under a UV dive light.

This spectacular display of natural light lands this dive site to the top of the list—and that’s without even mentioning the abundant marine life, including vibrant reef residents such as parrotfish, filefish, reef sharks, spotted eagle rays, green and hawksbill sea turtles, and the endangered and often curious Nassau grouper.

Bloody Bay Wall is suitable for all skill levels, since the wall itself starts at a depth of 20 feet (6 m). It’s best to visit during the dry season from November to April, when the water is calmer and warmer.

Bloody Bay Wall is part of the Bloody Bay Marine Park, a protected area that requires a fee and a permit to dive, which one of the established dive companies on the small, easygoing island can take care of. Read more about other remarkable dive spots in the Cayman Islands.

Highlights:

• Enjoy the astounding sight of the Bloody Bay Wall itself, an impressive vertical expanse of coral that spans the entire length of the bay.
• Take in the bioluminescence and fluorescence of the coral and its inhabitants, which creates a magical effect at night or under blacklight.
• Observe abundant marine life, including rainbow parrotfish, groupers, sponges, sharks, rays, and more.

Remarkable diversity makes this site a paradise for macro photographers, and all this beauty is accessible as a free and easy shore dive.

Shallow waters just over 20 feet (6 m) deep around the bridge pilings are easily accessible to both snorkelers and divers, but it’s vital to check tide charts and plan your dives to about an hour before and after high slack tide during the day.

Local dive shops offer tide tables and dive flags, a required safety precaution due to nearby high-traffic boat channels. The site also boasts small purpose-sunk shipwrecks and an 800-foot-long (245 m) boulder trail that serves as an artificial reef. Here you’ll find a variety of small marine life, and you may get lucky with larger visitors too, including sea turtles, eagle rays, and gentle endangered Florida manatees.

The name Wakatobi is actually an acronym for the region’s four islands: Wangi-Wangi, Kaledupa, Tomia, and Binongko. The Wakatobi region is located southeast of Sulawesi, and is relatively protected from wilder open-ocean currents.

This does mean that large pelagics are not found in this area. However, diving here more than makes up for it with smaller reef fish, weird critters, and countless nudibranchs.

The Great Blue Hole was formed thousands of years ago as a limestone cave that collapsed and flooded, creating an incredible underwater cavern, where you can explore huge stalactites and stalagmites in a rich marine environment. And, because it’s an open sinkhole, you needn’t be cave certified to dive at the Great Blue Hole.

The best time to dive at the Great Blue Hole is from November to March, when the weather is dry and sunny.

World’s Only Dive over the Continental Rift

The Silfra Fault is the world’s only location where you can directly dive or snorkel in a crack between two tectonic plates, all in beautifully clear glacial meltwater. In the rugged landscape of Thingvellir National Park, a fissure between the North American plate and the Eurasian plate created the Silfra Fault in 1789 from the earthquakes that accompanied the divergent movement of the two continents.

Perpetually cold, 36 ˚F (2 ˚C) meltwater that has been filtered through layers of porous lava rock for decades can offer over 325 feet (100 meters) of visibility underwater. Take in the deep blues, green grasses, and dark craggy walls in the steely world of this submerged geological wonder.

Visit from May to September for the best conditions and warmer air temperatures. A drysuit certification is required for divers, but snorkelers are also welcome, and drysuits are provided by dive operators.

The best time of year to dive here is from May to October, during dry and sunny weather, which is also the peak season for whales and dolphins, who feed around the island. Good conditions are needed to enter the cave, as strong currents may sweep the entrance, and the interior can be dark and narrow.

Best Dive for Life-Supporting Underwater Art

As the first underwater European museum, with over 300 sculptures, the Museo Atlantico is a truly unique and inspiring dive site. The artist Jason deCaires Taylor, who is known for creating art that serves as artificial reefs to attract and protect marine life, produced numerous sculptures that depict various scenes of contemporary society, such as refugees, selfies, politicians and bankers.

The sculptures are arranged in 12 installations at a depth of 40 to 50 feet (12 to 15 meters). These statues provide hard substrate for corals and sponges to colonize and for small reef fish and other fauna to dwell among, creating opportunity for dazzling one-of-a-kind marine photography. Diving conditions are generally mild year-round and suitable for all diving skill levels.

13. Millennium Atoll, Kiribati

The Most Extreme Remote Diving on a Coral Atoll

Home of one of the most pristine, remote, and diverse coral reef systems in the world, Millennium Atoll is a dream dive destination near the island nation of Kiribati. Part of the Southern Line Islands, which are considered to be among the most intact marine ecosystems on the planet, the atoll has close to 100% coral cover and hosts 600 species of fish, 13 species of whales and dolphins, and 360 species of coral.

It is also home to some of the largest and healthiest populations of sharks in the world, as well as other large pelagic animals such as manta rays, eagle rays, dolphins, and whales. The atoll is a natural laboratory for studying the effects of climate change on coral reefs, as it experiences periodic bleaching events but also has a remarkable ability to recover and adapt.
