Dive The World Scuba Diving Trips

Creature Features...

At Dive The World, we all have our own favourite marine creatures and we know you have too! For some, diving with sharks and huge schools of fish is the ultimate; others long to dive with manta rays; underwater photographers go on macro diving trips to seek out seahorses, flamboyant cuttlefish and other incredible macro wonders.

Leafy / Weedy Seadragon - South Australia scuba diving trips

Dive The World is the No. 1 authority on scuba diving vacations. It is also the best online resource for fascinating information on your favourite marine creatures and where you can dive with them.
