Where would be good places to go diving in the uk?

What are the best places in the world to go scuba diving?

• I was just wondering what the best places on earth are to go scuba diving? and if you could also please tell me a good zoo to go to?

• Answer:

  There are as many answers to this question as there are divers in the world. 'Best' is an entirely subjective measure, dependent on what a diver likes to see/do underwater, their financial resources, and their level of qualification and experience. So it's impossible to give you an absolutely definitive answer, since your question is so broad. However, the following areas come up regularly in dive-magazine 'bucket-lists': The Great Barrier Reef, Australia (longest barrier reef in the world, with thousands of dive sites) Maldives, Indian Ocean (strong currents, large pelagics) Aliwaal Shoals, South Africa (big sharks!) Sulawesi, Indonesia (huge marine biodiversity, including many endemic marine species) Galapagos, Ecuador (major shark aggregations) Truk Lagoon, Pacific Ocean (many WWII wrecks) Bikini Atoll, Pacific Ocean (US vessels sunk during atomic bomb tests -- experienced divers only!) Personally, the Red Sea is a favourite destination -- reliably good warmwater diving conditions, well-established tourist industry infrastructure, and close enough to home that I can afford semi-regular holidays there with my family.
