Islas Hormigas\u2019 marine reserve<\/strong>, located in the city of Cartagena (Murcia)<\/strong>, has being stated as the best European destiny to practice diving. One of the main reasons that supports its current recognition is prompted by its rich biodiversity \u2013 one of the most varied around the continent \u2013, which includes corals, fish, seaweed, cetaceans moving towards the Atlantic ocean, and even sunken shipwrecks. Its most important sunken ship, The Syria<\/strong>n, was shipwrecked in 1906<\/strong> and it was the greatest civil sinking taking place in Spanish waters \u2013 making it the perfect attraction for scuba divers, but it is not the only one. In 1865<\/strong>, before the reconstruction of Cabo de Palos\u2019 lighthouse<\/strong>, this place has been marked by its numerous sinkings, whose remainders are still on the deep seabed.<\/p>\n

A tour of the principal dividing areas around the world
\nWrecked ships, manta ray shoals, precious corals, dolphins and sharks<\/strong>; all these are just some of the amazing marine treasures that we can find during our summer holidays, and at the same time, these devices are essential for diving lovers. Due to its increasing importance, there are more and more tourist destinations including diving activities in their schedules, which encompass both immersions in boat trips and from the sea shore.
\nExperimented divers prefer long journeys on a cruise around the Red Sea<\/strong>, looking for the best locations for their immersion. Such ritual is known as liveboard, which normally starts in Hurghada<\/strong>, close to Sharm el-Sheikh<\/strong>; this trajectory comprises a recognized underwater paradise where we can find three important wrecked ships, such as the Salem Express, the Giannis D or the Carnatic<\/strong>, including a vast and varied marine biodiversity.
\nThe Great Barrier Reef (Australia)<\/strong> is recognized as one of the most relevant diving areas: a two hundred-kilometer coast full of corals, reefs, sharks and whales. The Pacific Ocean<\/strong> hides some treasures as well, such as the Raja Ampat in Papua New Guinea<\/strong>, where we can find at least 200 types of fish in just a single immersion. The Republic of Palau<\/strong> has beautiful caves characterized by their \u201clighting effects\u201d, and the Philippines<\/strong> has the beautiful and inoffensive thresher shark. Cocos<\/strong> (or Isla de Coco, Costa Rica) is considered a World Heritage Site<\/strong>, where we can find hammerhead sharks among others.
\nThe Indian Ocean<\/strong> possesses the greatest manta rays\u2019 paradise, concretely located in the Maldives<\/strong>, while Sipadan (Malaysia)<\/strong> has the turtles\u2019 paradise; in this underwater \u201cEden\u201d<\/strong> we can find the renowned turtle\u2019s cave, from which we can contemplate a bittersweet spectacle: this place becomes a sort of turtle cemetery, where the eldest members of the community go to die peacefully.
\nAround the Mediterranean Sea<\/strong>, we can highlight various places where visitors can practice their diving skills, such as Catalonia (Spain), the Balearic Islands (Spain) or Malta. On the other hand, the Atlantic Ocean<\/strong> has one of the best marine reserves, La Restinga (El Hierro, the Canary Islands, Spain)<\/strong>, where we can find whale sharks depending on the season. Some of the best diving destinations for both professionals and beginners can be found in our photo gallery, so feel free to have a look!<\/p>\n
