Top 10 Diving Hotels Worldwide

From Jules Verne, whose imagination took us to the watery depths of 20,000 leagues, to the Beatles who yearned to be "in an octopus's garden," we landlubbers have always had a fascination with the sea. Its seductive mystery comes from the waters’ many unique inhabitants: multi-hued fish, shimmering sea urchins, lithe predators like the shark or manta ray, breath-taking coral and eerie wrecks. You can see them on the big screen (from The Little Mermaid to Pirates of the Caribbean to Open Water), but why not visit them in-person? Whether you want to be amazed by Australia's legendary Great Barrier Reef, PADI train in Fiji, explore the Elbow in Belize or swim along a humpback whale in the South Pacific, our list of eclectic destinations will quench your undersea thirst. Our motto: Have wetsuit, will travel.
