Heron Island, Queensland, Australia
This island may be unknown to you, but surely you've heard of the Great Barrier Reef. The king of all scuba diving sites, the Reef is the world's largest and houses thousands of species of fish, great white sharks and many other natural treasures. At the heart of it all is Heron Island, a small, unassuming place with arguably the best scuba diving you'll ever experience.
A coral cay, Heron offers more than 20 true diving sites, most of them less than 15 minutes from your small resort hotel. Those looking to pick it up a notch can partake in adventure or night diving as well.
You'll find these activities available year round, but the conditions are particularly great between April and September. Watch out for poisonous box jellyfish from October to May.
