100 Dives of a Lifetime <\/h3>\n

Oceans have historically been something that has separated us. An ocean apart. Across the sundering seas. The oceans between us. Now, more than ever before, we understand the sea connects us. It is our shared life support system, a borderless expanse linking one continent with the next. It is our collective history, witness to fledgling seafaring attempts that advanced to legendary voyages, ghastly battles, and staggering discoveries. Divers know the pang of disappointment reaching the half-tank mark when there\u2019s still so much more to discover. Divers understand the rich wonder of seeing a different world\u2014full of color and life\u2014play out in front of their eyes, a world few people get to observe. This shared experience creates a community of fellow adventurers. <\/p>\n

New Caledonia, Cathedral <\/p>\n

Nature has been kind to New Caledonia. This French territory, located 750 miles northeast of Brisbane, Australia, has an immense barrier reef\u2014about 990 miles wrapped around one of the world\u2019s largest lagoons. For divers, New Caledonia offers an array of diverse explorations including shallow lagoon dives, night dives, reef dives, open sea and underwater drift dives. <\/p>\n

Iceland, Thingvellir <\/p>\n

This is the place where worlds collide. The North American and Eurasian tectonic plates run side by side in Thingvellir, and divers willing to brave cold fingers can touch geologic history, placing a hand on each continent. Diving the Silfra fissure in Thingvellir National Park isn\u2019t difficult\u2014just cold. After jumping in via a platform, the first thing that strikes divers is the unsurpassed clarity of the water. The visibility of this glacial spring extends hundreds of feet, providing an uninterrupted view of the channel walls, which seem to emanate a glowing blue light. <\/p>\n

Mexico, Afuera <\/p>\n

Isla Mujeres, the Island of Women, is known for its spectacular sunsets, friendly locals, and white sand beaches. Once a former fishing village, it\u2019s now known for one thing: the largest aggregation of whale sharks in the world. Although the experience is snorkel-only, it is unforgettable: Sharing the water with these distinctively patterned behemoths is both peaceful and exhilarating at the same time. Incredibly docile and agile, whale sharks are protected here by the establishment of the Whale Shark Biosphere Reserve in 2009, and whale shark tourism is highly regulated. <\/p>\n

Norfolk Island <\/p>\n

Norfolk Island is one of the most geographically isolated communities in Australia, which makes it one of the most geographically isolated communities on the planet. Located northwest of New Zealand and east of Brisbane, smack in the middle of the Tasman Sea, Norfolk Island is as unique, odd, and untouched as its volcanic neighbor, Lord Howe Island. The island\u2019s underwater volcanic landscape is a playground for scuba enthusiasts: Caves, chimneys, tunnels, chasms, and reefs surround it, offering up more than 30 unique dive spots. <\/p>\n

Kavachi Corner <\/p>\n

Known locally as Rejo te Kavachi (Kavachi\u2019s Oven), it\u2019s not a stretch to imagine a restless and willful ocean god fretting and fuming beneath the waves, chafing at mortal confinement. Divers would be unwise to venture too close to Kavachi\u2019s Oven, but you can dive close enough to feel the sea god\u2019s presence. Kavachi Corner is a spot 18 miles south of Kicha Island, northeast of the volcano, an open water dive frequented by spawning giant trevallies and mobula rays. The Solomon Islands are renowned for a wide variety of dive locations, from WWII wrecks, to mask-ripping current dives, to underwater volcanoes. Due to its spread-out nature and lack of infrastructure, liveaboards are a good way to explore what the Solomons have to offer, including Kavachi Corner. <\/p>\n

M.S. Zenobia <\/p>\n

One year after her maiden voyage, the M.S. Zenobia capsized and sank near Cyprus. Launched in 1979, this Swedish-built ferry now lies on her port side, in depths ranging from 52 to 141 feet (15.8 to 43 m). The M.S. Zenobia\u2019s cavernlike hold offers an unusual penetration dive for those with the experience and training. When the ship sank, it slipped below the surface with more than 100 vehicles chained to its cargo deck. Conditions of the Zen are deteriorating, which is why\u2014coupled with the depth and swim through opportunities for divers with experience\u2014it\u2019s classified as a more challenging dive. The ship is still holding together, but sooner is better than later if you\u2019d like to dive the Zen. <\/p>\n

Lake Titicaca <\/p>\n

Lake Titicaca is an ancient lake thought to be three million years old and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This is the world\u2019s highest dive site within recreational limits. Divers who want to try their hand at this unique and ancient spot need to go through the Bolivian Navy\u2019s high-altitude diving center to receive a diving brief, as well as a test in the center\u2019s decompression chamber. The altitude makes this dive more challenging\u2014that and the fact that it\u2019s still a relatively unknown dive destination. However, for intrepid divers, this is an ancient place. <\/p>\n
