Have you been tuning into SharkWeek this week? Admittedly, I have followed along on social media, but not tv. I had the pleasure a few years ago of swimming alongside these magnificent creatures in French Polynesia. We encountered them on an excursion in Bora Bora as well as on the island of Tikehau. I find being in the water, whether snorkeling, or diving to be extremely relaxing.
This week I wanted to share some of the top diving and snorkeling sites you may not yet have considered
#1 – French Polynesia – even now it’s quite simple for US Citizens to visit. It’s in the same time zone as Hawaii and gets as many visitors in a year as Hawaii sees in a typical week! The water is amazing, imagine being able to walk right off the beach, or the platform of your overwater bungalow and into a lagoon teeming with sea life.
#2 – Turks and Caicos – this is where we first introduced our daughter to snorkeling at age 6. She’s been hooked ever since. As we snorkeled around a man made reef the first time, she popped out of the water and proclaimed “there’s a whole underwater world down here!” To this day she reminds us often that she wants to go back since the water was so clear.
#3 – The Mediterranean – History abounds not only on the shore line, but underwater as well. Did you know there is a sunken city that you can scuba around off the coast of Naples, Italy?
If you’re ready to not only dive back into travel, but also explore the seas, reach out. We’d love to help you plan your next vacation, it’s certainly something you don’t want to navigate yourself with the near constant updates in protocols. That’s what we’re here to do for you.
