Raja Ampat — Indonesia
Raja Ampat, at the northwestern tip of West Papua, holds the highest recorded marine biodiversity on the planet — over 1,600 species of fish and 75% of all known coral species live within its four main island groups. Liveaboards running Raja Ampat cover the Dampier Strait (schooling fish, wobbegong sharks, pygmy seahorses) and the Misool region in the south (soft coral gardens, manta cleaning stations, oceanic mantas on Magic Mountain). Water is warm (28–30°C year-round), visibility varies 10–30 m depending on plankton, and most sites are suitable for intermediate divers, though a few channels carry strong currents. The season runs October–April when seas are calmest; the north continues to dive year-round.

Maldives
The Maldives is a 26-atoll archipelago in the Indian Ocean famous for some of the planet's most reliable encounters with manta rays and whale sharks. Liveaboards follow the plankton bloom between the western atolls from May to November and the eastern atolls from December to April, giving divers year-round access to cleaning stations, night feeding aggregations, and drift dives on coral-lined channels. Expect warm 27–30°C water, visibility of 20–30 meters, and a dive profile that rewards intermediate buoyancy — strong currents in the thilas and kandus are the norm. Outside of the big-animal show, the reefs are healthy soft-coral gardens teeming with grey reef sharks, eagle rays, and the occasional tiger shark on south Ari itineraries.

Socorro Islands
Socorro is Mexico's remote Revillagigedo expedition: four volcanic islands in the open Pacific where giant Pacific mantas choose the divers, dolphins pass close, and shark encounters feel properly oceanic. It rewards calm advanced divers who are comfortable with blue water, current, and long crossings.

Sipadan
Sipadan is Borneo's compressed big-life wall dive: turtles stacked on ledges, reef sharks cruising the drop-off, jacks thick enough to darken the water, and the famous barracuda barrel when timing, current, and permits line up. Plan around access, not just weather.
