The True Crusader people can kill an ocean snail. It is very bad for reefs when people come and touch or even break off parts of them, and it games fish and other sensitive animals when we touch them or break the coral
Sometimes you have to touch fish.. Otherwise they hit you.. Mantaray sometimes love it.. Some happened to me with a giant Napoleon or hundreds of nurse harks..

Don't touch! 3 sec into the video and already bare hand touching? DON'T ... F***ING ... TOUCH ... ANYTHING Licences should be removed. You probably killed that poor fish.
It is actually extremely important not to touch the fish since many fish secrete a layer of mucus as a layer of surface to their skin, which makes them more resilient to the contaminated environment. When we touch them we destroy this layer. It can be tempting, but one really shouldn't touch the fish 🐠🐟
Just back from a Red Sea diving trip. It's perfectly safe. We had wonderful, enthusiastic and professional guides. I flew in and out of Hurghada. Perfectly normal travel conditions. The Thistlegorm and the Giannis D are well worth the trip. Not just one motorcycle and truck. Many!!
Egypt is so underrated when it comes to beaches, snorkeling/diving, and summer destinations in general. The world needs to know about Dahab, Marsa Alam, Sharm Elsheikh, Hurghada, and the North Coast.
I'm hoping to go to Egypt in September/October to my PADI & Advanced diving. I'm hoping to go to hurghada would that be a good choice or could someone give me some recommendations please 🙏
Sipadan was indeed amazing! so many different dive spots around this island... you must spend there a solid week to able to get a permit to dive around Sipadan, as the government is limiting the amount of daily divers at Sipadan island. and easiest is actually from Mabul island, not Semprona, which is not so pleasant harbour city that you really want to avoid. there are not too many resorts on that island, as they will always prioritise guests staying longer for those permits, so 2 day visit and really difficult to just go to Sipadan. Enjoy heaven and 5 stars diving on that tiny island you can walk all around it in 1 hour.
I was waiting the whole time to see the Galapagos islands on this list as one of the most unique diving experience on earth, surprised it has been left out!!
This list is a joke. Nothing here ranks better than Raja Ampat for reefs. I would expect Raja Ampat and Galapagos to be top ranked by any divers that have experienced them.
I was a bit frustating to see thru the numbers. The island wasnt on the list.. until it reach no 1. Wow. Sipadan rated at no 1 in mojo. Absolutely amazing.. tq mojo.
No doubt.. Sipadan Island, Sabah, Malaysia is the best among the best.. Totally agree.. With crystal clear water and a huge group of barracuda you will never be dissapointed.. Trust me.. 😍😍😍
Glad to see Sipidan, I did 2 dives there though I feel bad on the 1st dive a Korean girl lost her expensive camera that had a floatation device on it. The strap to her wrist wasn't tight and it just floated off on its way to the Philippines. I'll add Komodo was amazing for diving especially Manta Alley (though as someone who's not used to strong current and was told never to touch anything under water, it was one of the first times I almost panicked under water since I started diving as a 11 yo and couldn't equalize very well). The GBR is hit or miss, I dove fairly close to Cairns and it paled compared to Sipidan & Komodo where, I had just dove. Then I lucked out a deal with Mike Ball and it flew us out to Lizard Island and we dove spots on our way back to Cairns and it was amazing. I'll be going to the Philippines in a week or so and i was hoping this video would give me a idea of where to dive but I guess none of the "top ten " are in the Philippines.
malaysia got hundreds more amazing diving spots where some among most beautiful in the world ..they literally are well preserved not like most other islands in the world that receiving too much tourists that also ruining their nature ecosystem..
Was ready to come down here and praise this video advertisement for promoting only the best and most sustainable diving practice's such as hugging a fish! Taking souvenirs, and touching coral. This is shit we learnt not to do effing years ago and it warms my heart to see other people expressing the same concerns here in the comments. I accept this brand has no actual standards for any of their channels and will put in minimum research but ffs... I believe I've said enough you get my point
How about the Philippines? Like Anilao in Batangas, Tubbataha Reef in Palawan, Moalboal for sardine run and Malapascua Island for thresher shark in Cebu, Dauin for muck diving in Negros Oriental, and of course Apo Reef in Occidental Mindoro.
So many dive sites that should rank above many on this list---Socorro Islands, Komodo, Galapagos, Tubbataha reef Philippines just to name a few. The Red Sea? Just because many people dive there doesn't make it one of the best---been there done that and it was good but not great like the others I mentioned.
I went diving in the carabeans last summer and it was amazing, there were octupus, passive sharks, mantas, hammerheads and some more amazing fish, it was worth every penny of the trip
They forgot the Verde islands which is the heart of the heart of the marine biodiversity in the world. There is a lot of diving spot in the Philippines. U can see Tresher Sharks everyday in Malapascua Island in the Philippines. This is the only diving spot u can see the shark everyday.
Seriously ?? The 2nd largest barrier reef in the world is in Roatan Honduras.. They have it all from ship wrecks to caves and every marine species you can think of. The famous "hole in the wall" is spectacular.. It's a must !! Sharks dives are only $100 dollars. Nite dives are about $30 and experience the "string of perils" There are over 100 dives shops on this little Island and is one of the least expensive in the world where to get certified....
Done Roatan, nice diving but nothing overly spectacular, i would have lumped it in with all of Belieze as opposed to just the BH since they are pretty much the same reef system.
That person giving a hug to a fish is the most stupid, irresponsable and human-centric behaviour I've seen today in a video. As an environmentalist we already have our discrepancies with people touching the animals... but THIS?! And the worst part is that people see it in the internet and thing "aw, how cute, the fish is loving him"; when the fish is probably stressed and wondering what the heck is happening.
Sipadan is truly my number one, too. But my second one is in the Philippines. They have some of the best dive sites in the world... at least not that long time ago they had. These are all disappearing now... Unfortunately quite fast.
Komodo Islands in indonesia was very awesome, we see huge fish shools, sharks and really impressive manta rays.. I also can recomand Pangloa island on bohol philippiens..
Amazing experience diving at reef barrier and Redsea but still shocked with Nusa Lembongan in Indonesia. The best drift dive of life after more than 100 dives
when i went we did one manta dive that was in a quieter location that was way cooler and better than Old airport, but the blackwater magic dives where also super cool
I think it's more on the popularity of the diving spots but not about the diversity. There's a lot more beautiful diving spots in the Philippines though. Some of the best are Tubbataba Reef, Verde island passage, Philippine Rise, Apo reef and so on. No wonder why the Philippines is the center of marine biodiversity
I know ridicilous right! Its US travel list for american dive freaks who book their travels with agents. Where there is money, there is "worlds best" 😉
I'm in Belize right now and I haven't gone to the blue whole because everyone here says It is the most overrated dive site ever. So I am staying on an extremely small island with great diving. But Galapagos is #1
Bloody Bay Point, Little Cayman Island - the wall starts at around 50 feet and reputedly drops to around 20,000 feet (Cayman Trench). Vis around 80-100 feet. Lots of sea life. I haven't dived it since the late '80s, but it was pretty cool then. 2-3 knot current along the face of the wall so makes a good drift dive if you have a knowledgable boat captain, but the current is not so strong that you can't remain more or less stationary if you wish. . .
There are a lot of dive spots around Philippines,such as Puerto Galera, Panglao Island,Coron,APO Reef,Malapascua Islands. The Balicasa Island is the best dive spot in Panglao Island to visit,which is more beautiful than Sipadan!
Never touch any sealife! Rule number one of diving!
sal k what if you’re hungry?
*never hold your breath
yeah almost got my fingers bit off by some weird looking fish while diving.
Actually, the number one rule is "keep breathing".
It’s still important to never touch sealife, but never holding your breath is way more important.
What a terrible publicity for diving, only leave bubbles, no touching.......😥
Touching is also really dangerous, a ocean snail could kill someone
Well said, the video is totally giving out the wrong message about preservation of aquatic life. Very disappointing to say the least 😕

my two best dives spots. 1 sipadan 2 beqa lagoon fiji among sharks. my next goals: raja ampat and who knows galapagos.

Seriously? The Great Barrier Reef doesn’t even get a mention? Wow! Probably should be ranked #1 in the world! Crazy!
As if Truk lagoon didn't get a mention, amazing wreck diving.
Hoping to see that one soon too

Just because many people dive there doesn't make it one of the best---been there done that and it was good but not great like the others I mentioned.
Great Barrier Reef, Aliwal Shoal, Wakatobi???
Aliwal Shoal? I thought those dives were pretty disappointing
World heritage site Tubbataha Reef. Try to visit. :)
Egypt 😍😍😍😍
Malaysia not only have Sipadan for Scuba.. you can go almost in Sabah coastland and east coast of penisular malaysia
Perhentian Islands are cool too
Woooww...Sipadan island Sabah have a wonderful & amazing view of underwater
I went diving in the carabeans last summer and it was amazing, there were octupus, passive sharks, mantas, hammerheads and some more amazing fish, it was worth every penny of the trip
Where exactly? Pray tell.
Tubbataha, Coral Bay, Ningaloo Reef
Thank God there’s no Verde Island, Philippines on the list. The passage should be protected as this is the center of the world marine biodiversity.
Yes, also Tubbataha Reef. Hahahahaha! Let the divers to the other seas.
Sipadan Island is heaven on earth..
Meanwhile the Philippines is now awarded as Asia's Leading Dive Destination and Asia's Leading Beach Destination in the 27th World Travel Awards 2020.
As what i’ve observed from watching this channel videos,..they didn’t consider Philippines as one of best in any of their list…
Also, check out the Marshall islands, great sealife and wrecks!
That's my first choice.
This is my absolute dream!!!!!
Me too
ataúro island - Timor Leste. Best diving spot ever!
They forgot the Verde islands which is the heart of the heart of the marine biodiversity in the world. There is a lot of diving spot in the Philippines. U can see Tresher Sharks everyday in Malapascua Island in the Philippines. This is the only diving spot u can see the shark everyday.
You missed Tubbataha, top 3 for sure. Maybe because adv cert is required?
Egypt ❤️🇪🇬
Such a great video! The ocean is such an amazing world!
i am a Malaysian and i just back from Sipadan!!!! The best diving spot ever!

Loved that area. Got certified in Utila.
You put Raja Ampat in number 9?? Seriously?? 👎
🤣😛
There is nothing better then Raja Ampat..
Boo
Sipadan: hold my barracuda tornado, turtle, turtle caves, shark, jack fish.. And many more wkwkw
Having dove a few of those, I can tell you that Rangiroa should be on the list.
Raja Ampat is the most beautiful among all this places.
but over all Galapagos is the best!
Ya I went there before I had my license but I plan to go back with mine
Cocos is also absolutely amazing, but I'm surprised they didn't mention Galapagos
What? No philippines? Unfair!!
E
Philippines marine is broke.. Always bombing fish there
Bombing is banned years ago, tubbataha reef is the best diving site in the Philippines for me
@@zulkifliadam5109 LOL, did you even know that the Philippines is the center of marine biodiversity?
Awesome im from Sabah borneo n it got number 1..proud of sipadan

Yes, And Malpelo, and french polynesia, and Richelieu Rock (thailand) and the brothers island in egypt ...
Diving in front of komodo island (indonesia) was quite awesome. XD

Egypt Redsea is Number1 in diving its a fact and followed by Australia reef barrier
Egypt have
Dahab★Sharm Elsheikh★Marsa Alam★Hurghada★
Just went scuba diving in Port Ghalib (near Marsa Alam)
And it was BEAUTIFUL. I would reccomend it as a great scuba diving spot!
Amazing experience diving at reef barrier and Redsea but still shocked with Nusa Lembongan in Indonesia. The best drift dive of life after more than 100 dives
I loved Dahab. Some of the most generous people I've ever met.
Kona is a great choice but the Blackwater Magic dive is so much better than the Manta Rays.
when i went we did one manta dive that was in a quieter location that was way cooler and better than Old airport, but the blackwater magic dives where also super cool
The cenotes in Mexico should be mentioned. Cavern diving.
No Great Barrier Reef??
Yes, In Roatan Honduras.. 2nd largest in the world after Australia

What's that island called please?
How about channel islands california, another temperate scuba area
What beautifull places I`m going to plan to visit in next years. I recommend diving in Providencia Island in Colombia South America.
Ah, wish I had gone there. Made it to San Andres though.
I missed in the video beqa lagoon, fiji, the most amazing day of my life, diving among 35 bull sharks
That actually sounds terrifying
How come you missed the REAL number 1?...
Tubbataha Reefs
No. 1 it is actually part of the island of indonesia but was recognized by malaysia in 1969
Yes, that's right.
What about the bay islands in Honduras?
missed the galapagos
Raja Ampat, indonesia should have been #1
no.. im indonesian that place must be exclusive to not ruin the nature life
Roatan Honduras
Yes! The best reef dive I've ever done and I'm including the #4 pick in this video. Shark / Yolanda was good, but Roatan... 😮
Jeez.... Get rid of that first video where the diver is grabbing the wrasse!!! How unprofessional can you be????
By not mentioning some places in the Maldives, this rating lost value.
Raja ampat indonesia
Truk Lagoon- arguably the best & easiest wreck diving on the planet.
rawsavage1 I agree with you ...... once is not enough with Truk Stop 🛑
Bloody Bay Point, Little Cayman Island - the wall starts at around 50 feet and reputedly drops to around 20,000 feet (Cayman Trench). Vis around 80-100 feet. Lots of sea life. I haven't dived it since the late '80s, but it was pretty cool then. 2-3 knot current along the face of the wall so makes a good drift dive if you have a knowledgable boat captain, but the current is not so strong that you can't remain more or less stationary if you wish. . .
Amazing
I believe many divers would argue Sipadan being the first.. heard its very commercialized now
Nope
That's what I thought. Too crowded with people who don't know how to dive.
i think you must see Wakatobi National Park
Phillipines not included? not reasonable...
There are a lot of dive spots around Philippines,such as Puerto Galera, Panglao Island,Coron,APO Reef,Malapascua Islands. The Balicasa Island is the best dive spot in Panglao Island to visit,which is more beautiful than Sipadan!
I've not dived in sipidan yet but the diving I had in the Philippines was amazing
what no Truk? or the galapogos?
A P Truk Lagoon...I was expecting it but...just spent 2 weeks there in September .... totally awesome...maybe it’s best to shhhhh...about Truk 😉
Awesome
