Southeast Asia covers a wide area, and within this region are numerous colourful cultures and landscapes, both above and below the water. The coral triangle is situated at the crossroads of currents and waters that lap Indonesia, the Philippines, Malaysia, Timor Leste, and Papua New Guinea. This area contains the most significant number of coral species and habitats on the planet.

For this reason, scuba diving in Southeast Asia should certainly be on your dive holiday list. But the coral triangle is not the only great reason for heading to one of these beautiful countries.
