The Caribbean:

For guaranteed sunshine, laid-back luxury and a wonderful variety of dive sites, head to the Caribbean for your February diving holiday.

Bonaire, nestled in the Caribbean Sea just 50 miles north of Venezuela, boasts over 100 dive sites and is famed for its fluoro diving. Make sure to check out the dive site 'Something Special', which lives up to its name with its plethora of marine life and stunning coral formations. Nighttime brings out nocturnal creatures like lobsters and octopuses and you can experience the magic of fluoro diving as reefs light up neon with a UV torch and yellow-filtered mask. With calm seas, excellent visibility up to 20m and easily accessible reefs, Bonaire suits divers of all levels.

Over in the Turks and Caicos, luxury accommodation is abundant and there's a whole cast of marine species to meet below the waves including rays, turtles, dolphins and even early humpback whales. And for the shark lovers? Head to Bimini, in the Bahama's western chains, to dive with schools of hammerhead sharks as well as bull sharks and nurse sharks.

For art lovers, Grenada's Molinere Bay Underwater Sculpture Park, created by Jason deCaires Taylor, is a must. With sculptures spread across 800 square meters in shallow waters, it caters to snorkellers, free divers and scuba divers alike. Grenada's warm, calm waters are perfect for beginners and for those more seasoned there is the option of some thrilling drift dives.
