The Bahamas:
Since we're on this side of the world, how about beginning the year by ticking off some bucket-list shark species in the Bahamas? While this North American nation offers superb shark diving year-round, January is the time to go for the ultimate shark experience with great hammerheads in Bimini (located in the westernmost chain of the Bahamas) and tiger sharks in Grand Bahama (in the north of the Bahamas).
Dive with hammerheads in only eight meters of water and throw in a bull or nurse shark, and you've got yourself a spectacular way to break in the new year. And you may as well swim with 20 or more lemon sharks alongside tiger sharks in Grand Bahamas before laying back beneath a palm and sipping on a Piña Colada.
Water temperatures in January range from 23°C to 26°C, meaning you'll only need your 3mm wetsuit, and visibility is excellent, often reaching 30m - perfect for those underwater photographers. Besides sharks, you can also see spotted eagle rays and, occasionally, humpback whales migrating through the region. With less crowded dive sites during the off-peak tourist season, you'll be able to enjoy these big boys all to yourself.
