Thinking of going scuba diving in June? We’ve found the best liveaboard trips all around the world.

The mid-year is known to hosts a lot of events, like the season for the English Tennis Tournament and the best month to get married. While there are a lot of happenings in June, Mother Nature has its fair share of occasions. June is where the World Environment Day and World Oceans Day are celebrated which happens every 5th and 8th day of June respectively. And for us divers, this is best celebrated by visiting world renowned diving destinations and witness for ourselves the immense bounty Mother Nature has given us. And what’s best with diving in June is that our underwater adventures are further complemented with optimal diving parameters like warm waters, great visibility and calm seas. This in turn allows liveaboard vessels to calmly navigate far-flung areas which are often pristine in condition and marine life is flourishing. Taking everything into account, all these factors adds up to a great diving experience in June.
