Top 10 South East Asia Dive Spots
SIPADAN, MALAYSIA
Season: April – December


MERGUI ARCHIPELAGO, MYANMAR
Season: October – May
MALDIVES
If your idea of diving is “the bigger, the better” than Maldives is for you! Just over 1000km from Sri Lanka, getting to your resort is a bit of a hassle. But when you look out your tiny skyplane window, and see those idyllic atolls scattered across the ocean, you know it’s all worth it. Due to its mid-oceanic location, the currents can get strong and appropriate for the intermediate level. Diving along walls and beside pinnacles, the water pushes you alongside schools of sweetlips, jacks, moorish idols and other colourful reef fish. Turtles are a common sighting, as are monstrous moray eels. There are many cleaning stations that pelagics–whale sharks, sharks, eagle rays and mantas, for example–frequent. And on the ride back, keep an eye out for dolphins! Diving is organised either by your liveaboard or all-inclusive dive resort.
