The ocean is just one gigantic blue playground with over 4,000 current dive sites. We're sure that you'd love to tick off every destination, but just in case you don't have that much time on your fins, we've compiled a list of the world's best diving. From sharks to shrimp, reefs to walls,…
Part two of our dive calendar starts smack bang in midsummer. A time during which the UK does its best to produce temperatures that remotely resemble the season and everyone else tallies up their remaining annual leave and heads somewhere well versed in summer sun. If this sounds like you,…
Often surface from a dive ravenous? Fear not, you're not alone. Don't be fooled by the leisurely fin-kicks of divers, the weightlessness of this sport can push your body to its limits, working up a substantial appetite. Call us biased, but the icing on the cake after a day spent diving is a…
From colossal whales and the ocean's gentle giants - whale sharks - to mass frenzies of pelagics in the deep, there's nothing more humbling than being dwarfed by creatures thrice your size. Yet, despite their monumental presence, seeing the ocean's larger animals is notoriously tricky. For…
