In January, the promise of winter sun is an undeniable draw to escape abroad. But it's not just the weather that can be great in January; there are some exciting things happening underwater, too, if you know where to look. From witnessing the magic of turtle hatching in Oman and Mozambique to swimming with the ocean's largest fish, the whale shark, in Tanzania, there's a whole heap of underwater marvels to uncover. Want to dive with sharks? The Bahamas is a shark diving mecca in January, with great hammerheads in Bimini and tiger sharks in Grand Bahama alongside resident Caribbean reef sharks, nurse sharks, lemon sharks (the list goes on…). While we're on the Caribbean, set the bar high for your New Year's resolutions by learning to dive in the brochure-blue waters of Grenada, with wrecks, underwater sculptures and marine life aplenty. Further south in Belize, witness the rare spectacle of a grouper spawning and dive the world's second-largest barrier reef. If you're planning a liveaboard trip in January, set sail on a liveaboard to Socorro (otherwise known as the Galapagos of Mexico) when humpback whales are passing through with their calves, not to mention manta rays, dolphins and several species of shark – including schools of juvenile hammerheads.
