How better to enjoy the most sought after\u00a0places to dive around the world<\/a><\/strong>\u00a0than on a private yacht charter? Diving is an immensely popular activity on a charter as you have experienced divers for crew, top notch equipment and some of\u00a0the most jaw-dropping diving destinations available. Get the best of both worlds being on top of the water on your luxury yacht, as well as exploring the depths below! See which three diving destinations are amongst our guests’ favourites…\"GalleryImage_1559_3111_53a8e2\"<\/a>Tahiti<\/a>: <\/strong>Tahiti is\u00a0<\/b>postcard-perfect, with luscious jungles, tropical weather and bungalows floating over stunning clear waters.\u00a0Just wait until you go underwater and experience the\u00a0exceptional diving opportunities! This exotic destination presents fantastic sailing conditions as well as being a mega hotspot for diving<\/strong><\/a>! The coral reefs, shipwrecks and lagoons are dotted all over the archipelago and are prime areas to get your snorkel out and make a splash, who knows what you will find lurking in the sparkling turquoise\u00a0waters? We recommend you head there from July to October for warm seas and good conditions, along with the chance of sighting humpback whales or grey reef sharks!<\/p>\n

Similan Islands<\/a>:<\/strong>\u00a0These unspoilt islands are found in the Andaman Sea on the west coast of Thailand<\/strong><\/a>; the majority of people are quite content to dive closer to the Thai shores, but\u00a0between you and me, this is where the diving enthusiasts sneak off to for\u00a0unbeatable underwater scenery. You are bound to see colours on the coral you didn’t know\u00a0existed, as well as cartoon looking species of fish! The ecosystem\u00a0boasts a huge variety of species, from crab eating macaques above water\u00a0to unicorn fish in the depths below. Head to Anita’s Reef for a likely encounter with lionfish, or Elephant Head Rock for\u00a0mysterious caverns and tunnels.<\/p>\n

Maldives<\/a>: <\/b>Surely the Maldives must be everyone’s dream honeymoon holiday<\/strong><\/a>? How can you top the emerald green, translucent waters and the myriad of different size islands, each as enchanting and tranquil as the other. However, there is more than meets the eye than just relaxation, as the array of fish is spectacular due to the reef formations between the atolls. Plunge into the warm seas and toy with the turtles or dance with dolphins to your heart’s content!<\/p>\n
