The Pacific and Australasian region offers some of the finest and most iconic scuba diving on the planet. Yes, it’s a bit of a trek to get there from Europe or even the USA… but it’s underwater discoveries are absolutely worth the air miles!

In the Pacific Ocean divers will find some of the world’s most stunning coral reefs next to breathtaking picture-postcard tropical islands. Fiji, in particular, is renowned for its incredible soft corals, whilst the many beautiful islands of the South Pacific offer a kaleidoscopic bounty below their turquoise waters. Stunning drop offs, walls and tremendous fish life.. plus some of the best shark diving around.

Australia and New Zealand offer an incredible range of diving, habitats, and marine life that includes sharks, rays, turtles, whales and dolphins, as well as plenty of smaller creatures to discover. Diving the amazing Great Barrier Reef is a must that needs to be ticked off every diver’s bucket list at least once in their lifetime. At 2000km long, there is plenty to see! Add to that the wealth of topside experiences that are perfect for adventurers and explorers and you have more than enough reasons to head down under.

The Pacific region is also the go-to destination for serious wreck divers. For most divers and underwater photographers, the jewel in the crown is Micronesia’s world-renowned Chuuk Lagoon – home to the Japanese 6th fleet, sunk in 1944. Nowhere else on earth are there so many accessible wrecks, preserved in time in a coral reef lagoon.

There are other superb wreck diving spots too – in Papua New Guinea, the Solomon Islands and across the whole of the Pacific. Japan also has a number of superb wrecks and is renowned for its stunning clear waters. Tonga offers probably the world’s best opportunities to swim with Humpback Whales. So many parts of this region are still relatively undiscovered and offer once in a lifetime and off the beaten track experiences unlike any other.
