Escape the Winter Chill with a Scuba Diving Vacation
|
Ian Scott
Are you sick of cold windy days, ice and snow? The last blast of
winter got you wishing you were enjoying the sun and surf in some far
off, warm destination? What are you waiting for? This is the perfect time of the
year to escape the winter chill and relax on a scuba
diving vacation!
There are plenty of scuba diving vacation packages on sale
from January to March. One of the best scuba diving vacations you
will ever book is a trip to Cozumel, Mexico. The waters around Cozumel are host
to an amazing selection of fish. The visibility is stunning - you can dive 80
feet down, look towards the sky and it still feels like you can raise your arm
out of the water. The large bodies of coral and swim-throughs are amazing to
dive over and through. If Cozumel sounds tempting, book your vacation for
February 23- 28 for the Mexican carnival. Carnival in Cozumel is similar to New
Orleans Mardi Gras, complete with parades of masked dancers and marching
bands.
If it's a new and exciting dive destination you seek, check out Roatan,
Honduras. The island of Roatan is home to many well-established dive shops and
exceptional diving. The valleys of coral and swim-throughs are exciting for
divers of all levels and the abundance of pillar coral, vase sponges, tube
sponges, and barrel sponges create an amazing landscape. Roatan divers can
expect to see turtles and grouper almost daily, cowrie shells are often found if
you look closely. Scuba divers interested in going beyond the average 60 ft dive
may find themselves among Eagle Rays.

If you're ready for an adventure, on land and in the water, head to the Similan
Islands in Thailand. The warm, clear waters of the islands offer both gentle
sloping reefs and deep, jagged trenches. The diving is quite relaxed as
most currents tend to be fairly weak, giving you plenty of time to take in the
view and observe the abundant marine life. Amazing coral formations and
swim-throughs create a dazzling landscape and an interesting dive every time you
hit the water. Watching the whale sharks and manta rays common seen in these
areas will make this dive destination a scuba diving vacation to remember.
There are many months of cold, winter weather ahead, give yourself a
break and head somewhere where the sun is shining and the water is warm and full
of life. There are plenty of interesting scuba diving vacations;
the hardest part is picking just one.
