Hibiscus, wild sea grapes and palms grow wildly along the fringes of the little island, while the lagoon is rich with sea life like ray and baby sharks. <a title=\"Maldives holiday packages\" href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/holidays\/international-tour-packages\/maldives-tour-packages\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Maldives holiday packages<\/a> include an exceptional diving experience, coupled with deep sea fishing, wind surfing and the best of all, sunset cruises.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Sipadan, Malaysia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Experience some of the best scuba diving at Sipadan, located off the east coast of the Malaysian Borneo. A legend among expert divers, the area is abundant with exotic species including a rainbow of reel fish, hammer head sharks and sea turtles. It is formed by living corals growing on top of an extinct undersea volcano, and for divers this is Sipadan&#8217;s main attraction &#8212; a 600-meter wall dive that overlooks the deep blue.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>Suggetsed Read :\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/malaysia-a-microcosm-of-asia\/\">Malaysia \u2013 A Microcosm Of Asia<\/a><\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/diving-big-trip.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-666\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/diving-big-trip.jpg\" alt=\"World's Best Diving Destinations\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Palau, Micronesia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Palau is famous for its World War II shipwrecks, and a place where divers become historians. A wonderful diving area in Micronesia, it dates back to an era where most sea battles were fought. So while you do see a number of exotic sea-lions and dainty marine life, you will also find numerous artifacts and old world wreckages that make for a nostalgic experience.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Red Sea Reef, Egypt<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Known for its spectacular visibility, the pristine waters of the Red Sea feature some of the most iconic seascapes. With its larger than life expanse of coral, it is home to amazing reefs with buzzing marine life. You can swim alongside giant green turtles, and encounter the famous oceanic white-tip sharks.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/seabed1.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-medium wp-image-667\" src=\"https:\/\/www.thomascook.in\/blog\/\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/10\/seabed1.jpg\" alt=\"Best Diving Destinations\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h3><strong>Great Barrier Reef, Australia<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Stretching more than 3000 kilometers, The Great Barrier Reef is one of the most popular diving destinations in the world.
