Deep diving allows you to dive to depths that are not normally considered safe for divers. It could be because there are certain limits that have been set by local authorities. In addition, you may have the opportunity to explore some of the world's most beautiful underwater environments, such as the Galapagos, Elphinstone Reef, or the Blue Hole in Belize. Continue reading to learn more about the conditions and locations that make deep diving such a special experience.
Elphinstone Reef
Liveaboards are the best way to enjoy Elphinstone Reef. In this location, you can also dive backwards. This means that you need to be comfortable in your backward roll. You'll have more opportunity to see sharks and other marine life during early morning dives, when there are fewer people in the water. You can also see more tropical fish. Additionally, you will have the chance to meet the resident Hawksbill turtle.
Blue Hole in Belize
The Great Blue Hole, a huge marine sinkhole off Belize's coast, is the Great Blue Hole. This remarkable diving spot is found close to Lighthouse Reef. The Great Blue Hole, which measures 124m deep, and is 318m wide, covers 70.650 square meters. These are some of most spectacular underwater scenes you will see in the entire world. Deep divers will love the cave-like environment of this Belize diving destination, where the water is warm and the visibility is high.
Galapagos
You can become a deep diver in Galapagos for a challenging but rewarding experience. Galapagos Islands boast a fascinating marine environment. This is why the water in Galapagos Islands is so cold and can often be difficult to see. The best time to dive in the Galapagos Islands is during the cool season (June through November) when temperatures are cooler and currents are stronger. If you're not sure whether you're ready for the challenge, take a look at this helpful guide for scuba diving in the Galapagos.
Elphinstone
For its beautiful soft corals and vibrant marine life, dive the Elphinstone Reef. This 300-metre-long reef is between twenty to forty metres deep. It is home to large gogonians as well sponges and sea whips. The finger-shaped plateau is home to giant trevally and redtooth trevally. The possibility of seeing a hammerhead Shark is quite possible. This shark is extremely rare and extremely difficult to find. This dive spot offers clear water and strong drift.
Belize Blue Hole
The Great Blue Hole is a place you should visit if you ever wanted to dive deep into the Caribbean Sea. The Blue Hole lies approximately 62 mi from Belize's coast. It is an almost perfect circular hole. It is located in central Lighthouse Reef and measures 125m. While snorkelers and divers have been enjoying the surface waters of this reef for decades, few have ever ventured to its depths.
Elphinstone and a buddy group
If you're looking for a boat dive in Southern Egypt, try diving Elphinstone, also known as Elfinstone. This saltwater diving site is located at Marsa Alam. The maximum depth is 150 feet (46m). The visibility ranges from 61 to 70 feet (19 to 21 meters).
