This island is known for the City of Skates, where you can meet big amazing creatures in shallow water.

You can find multi-colored reefs of freakish forms on the Bonaire Island (number 2 in the list) and on the Turks and Caicos Islands (number 7).

The Bonaire Island has number 2 in the list because this is practically unique place where you can dive all the year round and 24 hours per day. The Turks and Caicos Islands (number 7) are ideal for those who prefer to eat a fish, rather than to observe it. There are excellent restaurants and beaches, always warm sand. You have more chances to see sharks there, than somewhere on other islands of the Caribbean region.

The Aruba Island is situated in the heart of southern Caribbean Islands. The underwater landscape of the island is remarkable with the fascinating rests of the sunk ships, soft and firm corals, and also multi-colored sponges.
