Renowned as a diver's mecca, this awe-striking natural wonder lived up to its mythical reputation and then some. As I plunged into the crystal-clear waters, I was enveloped in a world where vibrant coral reefs command the seafloor and eclectic marine life dances in the sunlit waters.

Police check points:
You need your passport with you at all times.
