Where to go diving in December?

Are you an adrenaline junkie? If so, fly to South Africa for an amazing diving trip! In Gaansbai, you will be immersed in a cage to get a closer look at the great white sharks, who can measure up to 6m! At Protea Banks and Aliwal Shoal, meet with scary tiger sharks. Finally, have an unforgettable dive in Sodwana Bay with its 50km of pristine reefs. Throughout South Africa, you will have the opportunity of encountering 37 cetacean species (whales, sperm whales, killer whales and dolphins), and you might even get to see seals, sea lions and penguins in some areas. Finally, you will be amazed by the schools of millions of sardines.

Authentic and preserved, the Mafia and Pemba islands are the major diving destinations in Tanzania! In the Mafia Island, you will fall under the charm of Chole Bay lagoon. With 500 species of fish, a wide variety of corals and the presence of turtles all year round, your dives will be full of surprises. December is the perfect time to swim with giant whale sharks in Tanzania’s largest Marine park. You can dive in the coral reef both from the shore and offshore, it is very well preserved and will delight macrofauna enthusiasts and photographers. In Pemba, dive in the magnificent Misali Island Park, with its breathtaking wildlife and architecture!

On Spice Island, you are sure to have some exciting encounters! The best spots are around Mnemba Atoll, in the North of the island. You can dive among schools of dolphins that will become your new best friends during your diving trip to Zanzibar! Around the Ras Nungwi site, you will discover another part of the reef with its many varied colourful fishes. You will also see turtles, Napoleon fishes and rays. This very well preserved and less well-known Southern part of the island is a shark lair. Several different species live near Hammerhead with their scary Moray eels as neighbours! But rest assured, friendly cetaceans are always nearby!

From Saint-Lucia to Saint-Vincent, dive into the Grenadines, a real underwater paradise! Turquoise lagoons are surrounded by small islands and the seabed has a variety of colourful corals. Nature shaped nearly 600 volcanic islands from its depths with surprising and varied architecture. You will be surrounded by swarms of colourful fish and playful turtles. Fluorescent turtles and gorgonians add to this amazing setting. Beginner divers and snorkelers will find what they are looking for in the shallow coral reefs, while experienced divers can explore some caves, canyons and wrecks. As for those who don't dive, they can always just enjoy the beach and sunbath under the Caribbean sun!

Welcome to the “Flower Island”! You will be amazed by the diversity of its underwater landscape during your diving trip to Martinique! The Southern part of the island, near Sainte-Anne, will delight snorkelling and tropical fish lovers. You will also love this colourful coral reef! Near Diamond Rock, the currents are quite strong, but the seabed is sumptuous. The marine life is very diversified, especially around Les Anses d’Arlet. There are various species of turtles, including the rare leatherback sea turtle. Parrotfishes, trumpetfishes and diodons swirl in the crystal-clear water. In the north of Martinique, near Saint-Pierre, the landscape changes. It is the ideal place to 'wreck dive' for the first time as the Mount Pele 1902 eruption destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre and all the boats that were in the bay. The many ships that lie on the seabed constitute a moving underwater graveyard, colonized by corals.
