For experienced divers looking to travel short-haul, the Azores are home to fascinating dive sites, challenging dive experiences, and of course, a whole host of sharks. The islands are one of the best destinations in the world to get up close and personal with Blue and Mako sharks, but are also home to an exciting array of sub-tropical fish, underwater arches, tunnels, caves and cliffs. The Blue and Mako sharks can typically be found around a seamount approximately 20 miles offshore, allowing divers to explore the best of all the Azores have to offer along the way.

Seven nights’ at the Hotel Talisman in Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel, cost from £649 per person, to include flights, transfers and seven nights’ B&B accommodation, based on two people sharing. A four boat dives dive-pack costs from £109 per person, to include air tanks, weights and weight belt.

For those looking to travel further afield, the warm waters of the Philippines are frequented by various sharks species.

These shy and usual creatures are regularly spotted at ‘Shark Point’, along with the occasional Hammerhead shark and Manta Ray. Elsewhere, divers can explore the Tapilon Wreck, believed to be a WW2 Japanese Cargo wreck that was torpedoed, and the Dona Marilyn cargo wreck.
