Whether you’re a beginner or a seasoned diver, choosing the right destination is key for dive trips. At Maduro Dive, we help create scuba vacations that offer smooth planning in the world’s top dive locations, including islands in the South Pacific and the Pacific Rim. Here are some dive spots to see various underwater landscapes and biodiversity for your next diving adventure:
Fiji
Diving spots in the South Pacific island of Fiji contain hundreds of types of sponges and different species of marine life. The main island, Viti Levu, in Fiji is known for its shark dives. On these dive trips, divers will be able to see numerous corals and shipwrecks. The Somosomo Strait by Taveuni Island is home to the famous Great White Wall. This wall of corals, which sometimes turns white, is a must-see for any diver. During April–May, divers can see pilot whales, and in the summer, they will see hammerheads.
Indonesia
Included in the Pacific Rim, Indonesian islands include many adventurous dive sites. The island of Sulawesi is part of the Coral Triangle and contains vast amounts of coral. While diving in North Sulawesi, divers may be able to see whale migrations. Located next to Sulawesi is the Lembeh Strait, where muck diving is popular. This type of diving involves exploring the rocky ocean floor. This detailed observation makes it an ideal spot for macro photography.
Manado, located in North Sulawesi, is part of the Bunaken National Park, where divers can see many schools of fish, along with sponges and corals. Diving options at Manado include drift, shore, and wall. Drift diving allows divers to move without effort through currents, so this can be a suitable option for divers looking for thrills. Other islands in Indonesia with ideal diving spots include Raja Ampat, where there are hundreds of different types of fish and corals.
Micronesia
Palau is located in Micronesia and has high visibility. This makes it a good diving spot to see coral gardens and the Rock Islands. To see millions of jellyfish during migration, visit Jellyfish Lake. Yap provides ample opportunities to view manta rays, since every night they go deep underwater to eat. Divers can also witness turtles and sharks. Truk Lagoon is a popular site to view multiple shipwrecks, mostly from WWII. Divers will see wrecks that have war items still inside the ships, while also being able to see biodiversity on the outside. Other activities in Micronesia include kayaking, snorkeling, and hiking.
