This write-up describes some of the far better dive web sites in South East Asia. As a scuba diver, you will possibly know that scuba diving in South East Asia has constantly been quite well-known due to the fact of its vast species of marine life and wealthy diversity of colorful corals.

As a matter of fact, there are numerous world class dive websites in this region and with its superb underwater visibility, South East Asia is indeed a scuba diver's haven. So, right here are some of the best dive web sites in South East Asia numerous of which I have dived in many instances.

We shall begin with Indonesia and of course, the island of Bali cannot be left out. Possibly the most dived internet site in Bali is the Liberty wreck. The wreck was a US army logistic ship sunk by Japanese submarine torpedoes throughout the final globe war.

Liberty wreck lies in the depth of about 10m (32ft) to 30m (100ft) more than 120m (385ft) of the sea bed. Divers can see guns, toilets, ship anchor chain among other issues of a typical shipwreck. The wreck is heavily encrusted with corals and brightly decorated with gorgonian sea fans and sea anemones.

Scuba divers will also encounter big schools of trevally and more than 400 species of marine fishes and even exotic colonies of elusive garden eels.

Similan island in Thailand is yet another fascinating dive site. Similan is positioned off the coast of Khao Lak which was hit badly by a Tsunami 2006. Nine granite islands produced up the Similan islands. These islands are covered by luxuriant tropical rainforests surrounded by pristine white beaches and turquoise blue water.

This area is a protected national park. Under the water lie a sprawling underwater garden of deep canyons, coral gardens, massive granite boulders, caves and walls. Liveaboard scuba diving is the norm right here.

Sipadan Island in Malaysia was created renowned by Jacques Cousteau's documentary entitled Ghost Of The Sea Turtles. This is an oceanic island which is not connected to any continental shelf that rises about 2000 ft on an great limestone pinnacle and mushrooms out at the surface.

Several dive magazines have named Sipadan as a single of the ideal dive web sites in the globe and reported to have the largest selection of soft corals in the planet. At Sipadan, scuba divers will encounter fascinating drift dives, fascinating coral formations, turtles, lobsters, barracudas and even various species of sharks.

Manado, northen Sulawesi, Indonesia is the gateway to globe class dive spots in the Bunaken National Park. Muck diving, meaning diving for tiny critters on the seabed in Manado bay is the norm right here. In this part of Indonesia, you will encounter exhilarating wall dives, drop offs, massive napoleon wrasse, reef sharks and also an additional shipwreck.
