You don’t have to be a scuba diver to enjoy the fun and adventure of underwater attractions – far from it. Maybe you’ve tried snorkeling on a tropical vacation and really liked what you saw: colorful fish, vibrant coral, and swirling sea creatures (nurse sharks and stingrays, perhaps?). Well, here at Bing Travel we thought we’d help you out with new ideas for experiencing what’s just below the water’s surface – and in some cases, what can be found much, much deeper than that.
Check out the options we found in the new Bing Travel slide show Underwater Travel, which includes boarding a mini-sub for a peek at the wreckage of the Titanic, and getting up close and personal with whale sharks. Not all of these activities require travel to exotic locales, by the way; you’ll even find amazing underwater fun in Las Vegas!

These are awesome experiences. Lake Victoria in Uganda, the second largest fresh water lake in the world has not been explored for what you could possibly see under it. I wonder what lies under there?
Hol Chan Marine reserve in Belize is awesome with a visit to shark ray alley where if you can catch the nurse sharks they submit and allow you to hold them.Also a visit to Mexico Rocks and Tres Cocos to the north has some very pretty coral and is shallow so it's a good place for beginners.I hear Glovers reef is suppose to be pretty good so thats on my agenda, been to Hol Chan seven times in the last 9 years so its my favorite.There are some nice reefs off Provo (Turks and Caicos).
If you want a real underwater experience, not contrived, but pristine and beautiful, learn to dive and come to see the natural delights of Little Cayman's Bloody Bay Marine Park. A Holy Grail for underwater enthusiasts, learning to dive is the same as learning to become an astronaut, but it is easier, and your destinations are a lot more exceptionable and fun to visit. the Southern Cross Club on Little Cayman's south shore is a small full service fish and dive resort that can teach basic underwater certifications, or take you all the way to Divemaster!
Everyone wants a water-view room while on vacation, but what if you want to see what's going on under the waves? Almost 71 percent of the earth is covered in water, which means there is a lot to see below the surface.
