As a matter of reality, there are a lot of world class dive sites in this region and with its exceptional underwater visibility, South East Asia is certainly a scuba diver's haven. So, here are some of the prime dive websites in South East Asia many of which I have dived in many instances.

We shall begin with Indonesia and of course, the island of Bali can not be left out. Possibly the most dived internet site in Bali is the Liberty wreck. The wreck was a US army logistic ship sunk by Japanese submarine torpedoes during the last globe war.

Liberty wreck lies in the depth of about 10m (32ft) to 30m (100ft) more than 120m (385ft) of the sea bed. Divers can see guns, toilets, ship anchor chain amongst other factors of a common shipwreck. The wreck is heavily encrusted with corals and brightly decorated with gorgonian sea fans and sea anemones.

Scuba divers will also encounter huge schools of trevally and much more than 400 species of marine fishes and even exotic colonies of elusive garden eels.

Similan island in Thailand is another fascinating dive site. Similan is located off the coast of Khao Lak which was hit badly by a Tsunami 2006. Nine granite islands created up the Similan islands. These islands are covered by luxuriant tropical rainforests surrounded by pristine white beaches and turquoise blue water.

This location is a protected national park. Below the water lie a sprawling underwater garden of deep canyons, coral gardens, enormous granite boulders, caves and walls. Liveaboard scuba diving is the norm here.

Sipadan Island in Malaysia was created well-known by Jacques Cousteau's documentary entitled Ghost Of The Sea Turtles. This is an oceanic island which is not connected to any continental shelf that rises about 2000 ft on an awesome limestone pinnacle and mushrooms out at the surface.

A lot of dive magazines have named Sipadan as one of the greatest dive sites in the planet and reported to have the largest variety of soft corals in the world. At Sipadan, scuba divers will encounter exciting drift dives, fascinating coral formations, turtles, lobsters, barracudas and even a variety of species of sharks.

Manado, northen Sulawesi, Indonesia is the gateway to globe class dive spots in the Bunaken National Park. Muck diving, meaning diving for small critters on the seabed in Manado bay is the norm right here. In this part of Indonesia, you will encounter exhilarating wall dives, drop offs, enormous napoleon wrasse, reef sharks and also yet another shipwreck.
