2. French Polynesian islands

3. Belize

Mexico’s neighbor Belize is one of the most popular places for divers from all over the world. Belize Barrier Reef is definitely one of the most beautiful diving sites in the world with Great Blue Hole being the most famous diving spot. If you’re looking for great diving close to the United States, Belize is a great choice. One of unquestionable advantages of this place is that English is the official language of the country.

4. Fijian islands

Fiji is one of the most affordable tropical destinations in the South Pacific Ocean. It offers one of the most beautiful beaches in the world surrounded by crystal clear turquoise water and of course outstanding diving spots such as Viti Levu and Vanua Levu. Fiji is a politically unstable country which deters many tourists from visiting this place. However, thanks to this, the number of visitors is relatively low and you’ll be able to enjoy Fiji without crowds of tourists.

5. South East Asia: Philippines

Philippines is one of the best wallet-friendly South East Asian countries for divers. The country is famous for more than 7,000 tropical islands scattered around beautiful deep-blue and turquoise waters teeming with a wide variety of the marine life. Places like Palawan, Anilao, Boracay and Puerto Galera are one of the most beautiful (and inexpensive) diving sites in the world.

Don’t forget that in some places diving is cheaper than in others. Generally speaking, destinations in South East Asia such as Philippines are cheaper than destinations in North America such as Belize or in the South Pacific Ocean such as French Polynesia.
