If you and your betrothed think there’s no better way to spend your honeymoon than on a dive vacation, there are plenty of options available to you. Whether you want to stay close to home or venture out into the wild blue yonder afar, a diving honeymoon will be the perfect way for you and your partner to begin the rest of your lives together. Here are just 3 romantic destinations we think are ideal for celebrating your love of SCUBA and each other.

Belize

Belize is a wonderful choice for a diving honeymoon, as it perfectly embodies everything you’ve ever heard about the Caribbean. Calm, glittering waters in several shades of blue and powdery white beaches are what Belize does best, and the views only get better beneath the surface. Shark lovers will be over the moon at Shark Ray Alley, where nurse sharks and large stingrays are within arm’s reach, while colorful coral gardens abound off of many of Belize’s islands. Or plunge into your new life together in the Great Blue Hole, located near Belize City, for an interesting and special honeymoon dive. Belize is an English-speaking country with a 2:1 currency exchange rate, making this a very accessible and affordable honeymoon dive destination.

Fiji

Fiji is a surreal kind of tropical paradise. The colors and beauty are almost overwhelming, and that goes for both above the surface of the sea and below it. Underwater photographers are in for a real treat in Fiji, as there are abundant corals and marine life at every turn. It is not unusual here for visibility to exceed 100 feet, and the sheer volume of fish is stunning. Sea turtles, sharks, and rays are regulars on Fijian reefs, and you can even take in a wreck dive at a few different locations. When you hang up your wetsuit, tuck into a refreshing tropical cocktail and take in one of Fiji’s incredible sunsets. There are very few better ways to start a lifetime with the one you love!

Thailand

Thailand is bursting with incredible culture, food, and of course, dive sites, making this an excellent choice for a honeymoon dive destination. Wreck divers will have their pick of the region’s many shipwrecks, while any diver can enjoy Thailand’s beautiful coral reefs and prolific marine life. Manta rays and whale sharks are on the list of attractions here, and there are plenty of liveaboards in the area for a full-immersion diving honeymoon. With all the various islands to explore and endless underwater sights, Thailand is an excellent place to celebrate a new chapter in your life.
