Diveity's dive site atlas spans 582 dive sites across 17 countries, from shallow shore entries to deep wrecks and drift dives. Guides bring together available information on dive sites, marine life and nearby operators. Some guides are partial; missing or disputed details are labelled.
Sites are organized by country, then region, then area, so you can zoom from a whole coastline down to a single bay. Start broad if you're still picking a destination, or jump straight to a named site if you already know where you're headed — every level of the hierarchy links up and down, and every page counts what it aggregates below it.
Browse by country, region or area to compare dive sites. Read each guide's sources and uncertainty labels, and confirm access and current conditions with a local operator.

Best conditions shift by region and season, so there's no single answer worldwide. Check a specific dive site's page for depth, visibility, and current details before you plan a trip.
From shallow reefs to deep wrecks, drift dives to wall dives — Diveity's dive site atlas spans every style of diving, searchable by country, region, and area.
Most sites call for at least an Open Water certification, and some advanced sites require further training. Local dive shops and resorts can help you get certified if you are not yet.
