Belize "Pupil of God" Big Blue Hole
The first one to introduce is the Great Blue Hole in Belize, known as the "Pupil of God" and listed by unesco by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization as one of the World Heritage Sites.
Located about 100 kilometers from Belize on the west coast of the Caribbean Sea in Central America, the Great Blue Cave is about 400 meters long in diameter and nearly 137 meters deep, surrounded by coral reefs, so the water of the entire cave is dark blue and distinct from the periphery. Looking down from above, it was like a pupil embedded in the sea, so deep that it seemed to suck people in.
The Great Blue Cave is not only peculiar on the outside, but also has a lot of articles on the inside. Dive down, you can see the crisscrossing stalactite group, the highest is 12 meters long, sponges, barracuda, coral, angel fish and other kinds of marine life are naturally indispensable, and even the mysterious sharks, when they rise, they run out to swim with divers, which can be described as a diving place where beauty and danger coexist.
But because of this, the Great Blue Cave strongly attracts diving enthusiasts from all over the world to explore, and it has become a world-famous diving destination.

Micronesia "the most terrifying lake" Of The Truk Lagoon
Another dive site I'd like to talk about next is the Truk Lagoon in Micronesia. If the Great Blue Cave in Belize is a way to appreciate the wonders of nature's creations, challenge them, and explore their mysteries, Truk Lagoon is a completely different experience – it's known for its "horror".
Russia's Pravda newspaper has selected the world's top ten horror sites, and The Truk Lagoon is impressively on the list, and it is also ranked second!
In the history of World War II, the Truk Lagoon was home to more than 60 Japanese warships and more than 250 fighter jets, all of which were buried on the seabed with more than 3,000 soldiers under the bombardment of the Us army. The results of the exploration show that the current shipwrecks and aircraft have long grown into coral reefs, but the various weapons, cargo, ammunition and cultural relics unique to World War II have fascinated countless explorers, history enthusiasts and military enthusiasts.
The atmosphere under the water is terrifying, and it is said that unexploded missile torpedoes, harmful chemicals, the remains of the dead and even the ghosts of the dead are haunted. It can be said that there is no courage to go down at all. Therefore, you must have a diving license to be allowed to dive there. There have also been many records of diving enthusiasts diving and never coming up again.
But even so, Truk Lagoon has become one of the most popular diving destinations, which shows that the courage of human beings to explore the unknown and the desire to seek excitement are really amazing!

Manta Ray Village, Hawaii
After talking about the eerie, life-threatening, and life-threatening Truk Lagoon, let's take a look at the next relatively mild, "unworthy" good place: Hawaii's Manta Ray Village.
Nestled off the coast of Hawaii's Kona, it's no longer frightening and chilly, but has everything we know about the ocean: sunshine, sand, beautiful women in bikinis, and its biggest sparkle: more than 60 species of manta rays.
Just listening to the name of the manta ray, you may mistakenly think that it is a very fierce creature, in fact, its temperament is very gentle, it will not actively harm humans, and you can even get close to them and dance with the "devil" in the water.
Especially at night, if the water is illuminated with lights, the manta rays will also appear in groups, spinning and jumping, presenting a wonderful performance as beautiful as "ballet", which is also the greatest pleasure of night diving in manta ray village.
For our Chinese, in fact, seeing a manta ray is a "good omen", because in Chinese, the scientific name of the manta ray is called "manta ray", which is pronounced as "blessing". In this way, the manta ray village is also called "Fufen" village. Doesn't that sound quite auspicious?
However, in order to dance with the "blessing", the required diving skills are naturally not low. For listeners who are just learning to dive, we have two more good places to introduce

Papua New Guinea, Samaray Island
The first is Samaray Island, located in the southeast of Papua New Guinea.
Here, there are no kinds of huge or dangerous marine life, some are all kinds of cute people to melt away small tropical fish, sea hares, soft corals, sea lilies and other small marine life, if you are not careful, you think you have entered the undersea pet fair!
The sea here is very clear and transparent, not easy to lose direction, but also to ensure the visibility of the tour, the water temperature is 26 to 27 degrees all year round, warm and comfortable, and the water depth is shallow, it can be said that it is a paradise for novice divers.

Sipadan, Malaysia
Back in Southeast Asia, which is closer to us, Sipadan, in Malaysia, is one of the few natural diving destinations in the world that is rarely infested by humans.
The coast of Sipadan is very unique, as long as you step out of the shoal of about 5 meters, you are a deep-sea cliff with a vertical drop of up to 700 meters! Insert the Oriental Pearl Tower directly upside down and see no shadow! Such a largely different terrain means that you can see an extremely rich ecological layer of the seafloor here.
From shallow to deep, from small to large, from lone rangers to flocks, barracuda, white-capped sharks, cockatoo fish, turtles, eagle rays, corals, anemones... Whether it is common, rare, or unheard of, there are too many kinds of marine life living here to list, and its number is second to none, no wonder it is called "mecca for divers" and "aquarium of the gods"!
In order to protect this precious place, the Malaysian government not only removed almost all the resorts on the island, but also strictly stipulated that only 120 divers can enter Sipadan every day, and the quota is very tight. So to dive there, you have to rely on "grabbing"!
Happy hour is fast, today's program time is almost here, if you listen to friends feel that there is still unfinished words, please leave a message to tell us, we strive to give you some good places in the future program!
Have a great weekend and we'll see you next time
