While we regularly wax lyrical about the wonders of the world as seen from dry land, it’s time for the ocean to have its moment. From (tongue twisters alert) kaleidoscopically colourful coral to magnificent marine life and ludicrously luxurious liveaboard boats, it’s got a lot to offer. The big blue does, after all, cover 70% of the planet, so it's only right we give it the attention it deserves. Enter our specialist dive team:

Diving devotees know that a trip to French Polynesia is a pilgrimage to paradise. And although it takes a while to travel to this remote South Pacific utopia halfway between Australia and South America, as soon as you slip below the waves and begin to explore, you’ll see exactly why you came here. The marine life is abundant, from tropical fish to blacktip sharks; the water is warm all year, rarely dipping below 25°C; and the coral reefs remain pristine.

Diving has an otherworldly quality, as you don spacesuit-like gear and venture into the watery world – often in search of new and exciting lifeforms. Wade weightlessly through aquatic waterscapes, rich with wildlife, from the plummeting depths of the Seychelles (ominously named ‘The Wall’), to the WWII wreckages of Micronesia. You too can submerge yourself in the underwater dreamscapes that await discovery and succumb to the allure of some of the top 10 dive sites, found scattered across the world.

Teeming with tropical rainforests, deserted beaches and bountiful wildlife, it’s almost unbelievable how biodiverse Costa Rica is. Thankfully, more than a quarter of the country is safe guarded by some form of environmental protection, allowing its flora to flourish and its fauna to remain unscathed. Costa Rica’s on-land beauty is obvious, but what if you venture beneath its turquoise-tinged waves? Like tumbling down a rabbit hole into a fantasy realm, diving in Costa Rica reveals a wealth of whacky and wonderful creatures.

We love a liveaboard. Whether you are wanting to cram as much diving as you can into your trip or you are heading to a more remote part of the world, such as Raja Ampat in Indonesia or Socorro Island in Mexico, liveaboard diving opens up a whole host of underwater opportunities. Liveaboards come in all shapes and sizes, from sturdy vessels designed to reach the most remote and challenging dive sites to beautiful sailing boats where life on deck is as pretty as life underwater.

Underground (noun): a group or movement organised secretly to work against an existing regime, who consider themselves different from the mainstream of society and culture. Or, simply finding yourself in a subterranean situation... And we Brits are good at doing things underground - whether that's the tube system, World War resistance operations or starting a rebellious cultural movement (hopefully the 80s Mohawk has been buried by now).
