Scuba Diving

Around 7/10 of the Earth’s surface is oceans. With such a vast amount of water to explore the question of where to dive next is something most scuba divers regularly ponder. So hopefully this worldwide scuba diving travel guide will help you to decide.

With hundreds of scuba dive holidays, underwater courses, and diving experiences to choose from you are sure to find what you are looking for on AWE365. We even have a great range of accommodation in popular dive spots, money saving discounts and inspirational scuba diving articles.

But for those new to the sport what is scuba diving? Well even some experienced divers don’t know (or have forgotten) that scuba is an acronym for Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. So scuba diving is using that equipment to explore the underwater world.

These days the word ‘scuba’ is used to describe the sport itself. It is also acceptable to refer to ‘scuba equipment’ or ‘scuba gear’ in conversation – even though part of the acronym is ‘apparatus’.

How ever the name scuba is used it is an incredible experience. From turtles to nudibranchs, whale sharks to seahorses and fish to coral the underwater world is bright, colourful and alluring. Chuck in caves, wrecks and 1000m drop offs and it is also very exciting.

So if you want to know where to dive next check out the holidays, courses, experiences, accommodation, discounts and blogs below. So use this worldwide scuba diving travel guide to plan your next trip.
