As scuba divers we love adventure and exploring dive destinations around the world.

When I consider a dive destination and resort some of my criteria include:

• 
  
• Warm water
  
• Great diving
  
• All-inclusive
  
• On premises dive shop
  
• Ease of getting to the destination
  

Here are my top three dive destinations and resorts

1. 
   
2. Atlantis Dive Resorts – Dumaguete in the Philippines
   
3. Sea of Cortez aboard Mexico Liveaboards
   
4. All three Cayman Islands – Clearly Cayman Resorts (Little Cayman, Cayman Brac), Sunset House (Grand Cayman)
