Oman Arabian SeaFahal Islands in Muscat is a centre of coral diversity
Exposed rocky shores facing north and east is the hub of soft coral growth, while south and west facing shores contain hard coral growth, for example at Cat Island, Cemetery Bay and Fahal Island.
The Damaniyat Islands, about 17-km offshore, support extensive reef development. Damaniyat reefs are typically dominated by a few genera, but at some sites where the assemblage is mixed, coral diversity is known to be high. Damaniyat reefs provide a diverse habitat and feeding grounds for commercially important fish and a high potential value to Oman’s tourist industry, says Mussallam, who being an active diver has watched coral reefs from close quarters.
Sharqiya coast, which used to be an area of luxuriant coral growth, has only a few reef formations now. Much of the previously luxuriant coral growth was destroyed in a storm a few years ago.

Samoa PacificSituated at the North side of Nu’ula Island, it is a very interesting dive site with larger fish and varieties of coral and reliable good visibility. Topology consists of shelf like reef at around 15 meters and drops off to 40+ meters. Current can occur and creates a nice drift dive along the wall. When it comes to the end, we sometimes spot several sharks including white tips, black tips, grey reef and silver tips. Amazing soft corals and abundant fish life makes this site so special. Diving depth is between 15 - 30 meters. A 30 minute boat ride.

Samoa PacificLocated just offshore from Nu’utele this pinnacle comes up to 3 meters and drops into the depths of the blue (below 40 meters). We found huge schools of fusilier fish, barracudas, Red tooth Triggerfish and larger predatory fish, for example Dog Tooth Tuna, Travelly and of course a couple of grey reef sharks if you’re lucky! Small Eels are in shallower depth. This is an advanced dive as strong currents are regular. This dive is considered as the best dive in Samoa! Variation of diving while being stationary on top of the pinnacle or diving around the pinnacle. Max depth 40 meters. A 35 minute boat ride.

United StatesThis wreck is an interesting one that sank for an unknown reason. It was a shrimper boat. It's covered in a neat coat of algae and coral. Spider crabs and anglefish have been seen. This is a deeper dive, so, some experience is needed. Have fun diving it. Visibility is pretty good, since its average depth is about 95 feet.

PhilippinesDiving here is really great! You'll love this site.

Malaysia South China SeaPulau Perhentian is a great island which is not well known by international divers or travellers. It offers great dive sites and beaches that are not crowded like Bali and Thailand. If you are wishing to go there the best budget places to stay are at Long Beach on Pulau Perhentian Kecil. If you prefer staying at more expensive hotels and resorts you can find them on Pulau Perhentian Besar. Almost everyone on the Island can speak English and they are really friendly. I would recomend to go diving with Spice Divers
website because they are the only locally owned and operated dive shop on the island, they provide the best services and are really friendly. The instructors there speak English, Malay, German, French and Italian.

Egypt Red SeaIn 1956 Jacques Cousteau, with his mythical oceanographic ship Calypso, discovered the wreck of the Thistlegorm on the outer wall of the immense reef known as Sha'ab Ali, off the western coast of Sinai. This was a British transport ship built in1940 by Thomson & Sons that was lying at anchor early in the Second World War when it was attacked by a squandron of German bombers from Crete. The Thistlegorm had come from Cape Town loaded with material for the British troops in North Africa (munitions, hand grenades, anti-tank mines, Lee Enfield MK III rifles, BSA motorcycles, Morris automobiles, Bedford trucks, two light MK II Bren Carrier tanks, two locomotives, two railway freight cars, two tank cars, spare parts, medicines, tires and rubber boots) and was hit by two bombs; it sank for 30 meters in an upright position onto the flat and sandy floor.
Cousteau found a ship which, despite the fire that had resulted from the bombing, was virtually intact, as was its cargo. He documented his discovery in some scenes in one of his memorable documentary films so that the public at large would become acquainted with this extraordinary wreck, which is considered the most interesting in the Red Sea and has become a great favourite with scuba divers from all over the world.

Australia PacificJulian Rocks is rated as one of the best dive sites in Australia. Coral growth is limited but the abundance and diversity of larger animals is enormous. Manta Rays, Leopard Sharks and Grey Nurse Sharks visit at different times of the year. From the sharks, to pelagics and various species of anemone fish ... through to the numerous species of nudibranchs Julian Rocks provides a prolific concentration of marine life - big and small, all in one location.

"My attraction to Julian Rocks began with the desire to dive with Grey Nurse sharks ... and now I am hooked on sharks ... and constantly amazed at the diversity of marine life at Julian Rocks." I am now a regular visitor to Byron Bay and dive Julian Rocks every Friday. Together with a number of fellow divers, we have commenced photographing the various species of marine life and recording these images on a website dedicated to Julian Rocks.
