Top 100 Readers' Choice Survey

Each year, we ask the most knowledgeable and well-traveled group of divers we know — our readers — to rate their favorite destinations as part of our ongoing Top 100 Readers' Choice survey. Below you will find the destination surveys that are the basis of this report. Use them to rate the quality of the dive experience in several categories — ranging from health of the reef to their overall impression of the diving — using a 1-to-5 scale (5=excellent; 4=very good; 3=good; 2=fair; 1=poor). Tell us what you think about any destination, dive operator, resort or live-aboard you've patronized in the last two years. Your opinions and comments will be used throughout 2010 to compile our next Top 100 report.
