What kind of diver are you? Do you seek out those tiny curious critters in the muck or do you prefer having your fins blown off by the big guys — the pelagics? Do you snoop around eerie WWII wrecks? Maybe size doesn’t matter to you and you consider yourself a Macro diver. Or, are you an ‘Off the Wall’ thrill diver exploring the nooks and crannies of the reef with the abyss looming below?

US-based dive tour operator Amazing Adventures Travel has compiled below some of the best destination trips for each type of diving.
