Now that you are a certified scuba diver, what types of dives will you be making? From reef diving to wreck diving there is something for everyone — or why not plan to dive it all?

Reef Diving

Submerge yourself in the warm, inviting waters of the Florida Keys, Bonaire and Grand Cayman.

Florida Keys: The Florida Reef, the largest barrier reef in the continental United States, stretches through the Keys and is home to megafauna and macro critters, from sharks and rays to ­nudibranchs and seahorses. Visit Horizon Divers.

Bonaire: Thanks to high levels of protection — the waters off the island’s entire coastline have been declared a marine sanctuary — Bonaire’s reefs have consistently ranked among the healthiest in the Caribbean, dazzling beginner and veteran divers alike. Visit Buddy Dive.

Grand Cayman: Grand Cayman keeps divers on their toes with exciting overhangs, swim-throughs, channels and ledges that have been etched into its reefs over millions of years. Visit Sunset House.

Drift Diving

Go with the flow in Tahiti, Cozumel and Grenada.

Tahiti: Exciting drifts make for some of the most thrilling diving in the world as you slip-n-slide through the Tahitian current amid massive schools of gray reef sharks and barracuda. Visit Master Liveaboards.

Cozumel: Off Mexico, ocean currents swirl around Cozumel, creating drift dives that pack an adventure-filled punch. Fly over rocks, breeze through coral canyons and jet ­alongside sea turtles and bar jacks. Visit Scuba Club Cozumel.

Grenada: Looking for a smooth ride? Kick back and let Grenada’s gentle currents take you along the remarkable reefs, wrecks and walls of the Caribbean Sea, including the “Titanic of the Caribbean,” Bianca C. Visit Dive Grenada.

Wreck Diving

Wrecks take center stage in Truk Lagoon, the Bahamas and Palau.

Bahamas: Wrecks shallow and deep pepper this island nation, giving divers of every certification level something to explore. Natural and purpose-sunk wrecks are crowded with marine life such as goliath ­grouper and hawksbill turtles. Visit All Star Liveaboards.

Palau: History buffs, take note — Dozens of World War II warships and seaplanes impress in the crystal-clear waters of Palau, which was the site of battles between the Japanese and Americans during the war. Visit Sam's Tours.

Truk Lagoon: It wouldn’t be wrong to call Truk Lagoon the wreck capital of the world. More than 60 World War II-era planes, ships and automobiles are sunken in this Micronesian locale. Visit Truk Odyssey.

Underwater Photography

Shooters go wild for Raja Ampat, California and Hawaii.

California: The beautiful, unique eco­system of the Californian kelp forest creates a stunning backdrop to photograph charismatic cold-water marine mammals such as harbor seals and sea otters. Visit Truth Aquatics.

Hawaii: Featuring a topside landscape that matches the beauty of its world beneath the waves, the Hawaiian Islands are a shooter’s dream. Capture color-drenched reefscapes, glowing volcanoes and friendly dolphins all on the same trip. Visit Aggressor Liveaboards.

Raja Ampat: With the opportunity to see both giant oceanic manta rays and tiny, ­elusive frogfish — sometimes on the same dive — macro and wide-angle photographers find paradise in Raja Ampat. Visit The Arenui.

Liveaboard Diving

Set sail through Cuba, the Maldives and the Red Sea.

Cuba: Silky sharks, saltwater crocodiles and miles of protected reef with thriving endangered corals spell adventure in Cuba’s pristine Gardens of the Queen. Sixty miles south of the mainland, the Gardens can only be accessed by liveaboard. Visit Aggressor Liveaboards.

Maldives: Twenty-six atolls make up the Maldives, and a liveaboard is the best way to see them all. Northern and southern itineraries visit a variety of sites featuring whale sharks, mantas and more. Visit the Maldives Four Seasons.

Red Sea: Cruise from the northern Sinai Peninsula to the southern Red Sea. Taking in the best diving Egypt has to offer via liveaboard, you’ll experience much more than a land-based vacation could offer. Visit Aggressor Liveaboards.

Shark Diving

Get up-close and personal in the Bahamas, Fiji and the Galapagos.

Galapagos: Each year around June, thousands of scalloped hammerheads migrate to the Darwin and Wolf islands in the Galapagos, giving visitors the chance to dive with a mass aggregation of oceanic predators. Visit Aggressor Liveaboards.

Fiji: At the highly protected Shark Reef Marine Reserve in Fiji, come face to face with up to eight different species, including bulls, tigers and blacktip reef sharks. You’ll love the brilliant soft corals that paint the reef. Visit Aggressor Liveaboards.

Bahamas: Shark sightings are almost guaranteed on every dive in the Bahamas, but some operators offer special encounters that’ll have you surrounded by these magnificent, often-misunderstood creatures. Visit Stuart Cove.
