Spending time with your loved ones during the Christmas break is always a top priority. As a matter of fact, you may have been envisioning yourself snuggling with your family on Christmas Eve whilst the children are opening their gifts. After this, you might indulge yourself in a small glass of wine to celebrate.

Whilst it comes as no surprise that this type of celebration is costly, it cannot be denied that this also passes off as traditional, if not entirely boring. If you are searching for something novel to do, then look no further. Diving is another activity you and your family can enjoy this coming holiday season. Not only will this give you a great change in scenery, but this will also allow you to immerse in a new experience.

Below are some Asian places you might want to discover come Christmas time:

Diving in the Philippines – Coron

There is no secret that the Philippines is home to some of the most picturesque islands around the world. With more than 7,000 islands in the country, there would surely be no shortage of places to see. One of these well-loved places is Coron. Whilst it’s neighbouring counterparts, Puerto Princesa and El Nido, are also beautiful, Coron takes pride in offering travellers a wonderful and magical diving experience.

For one, exploring Siete Pecados will let you gain a renewed appreciation for nature. Here, you can see water coral gardens where tons of fishes abound, showing a well-preserved marine life. If you want a more life-changing and inspiring adventure, going to the Twin Lagoon will leave you in awe. After a day’s excursion, you may want to check out some of the local eats. From grilled meats to pizza places, you will certainly find everything you need right on this island.

Diving in Papua New Guinea – Kavieng

Taking a breather on your holiday is certainly well-deserved. If staying out of the grid is your type of thing, seeing Papua New Guinea with your very own eyes should not be missed.

From Port Moresby, take a short 90-minute flight to Kavieng where you can see colourful coral reefs and even more fascinating World War II wrecks. Dubbed as one of the world’s most gorgeous diving sites, you will definitely revel in your stay here. Here, you can up the ante and explore Albatross Passage and come by pelagic animals. After diving, you can wind down in an upscale restaurant in town. Kavieng chilli mud crabs are especially recommended for a hearty and filling meal.

Diving in Indonesia – Raja Ampat

Raja Ampat is perhaps one of the most inviting places to see in Indonesia. Aside from the teeming coral species that lies within this archipelago, this location boasts of a healthy marine life. In fact, you can find vibrant schools of fishes swimming everywhere you look. Relatively unexplored, you’ll find that this part of the world is clear and pure. This place is a testament that keeping mother nature clean will certainly go a long way.

If you are up for a new experience come Christmas, head on over to these destinations. Who knows, you might even start a new tradition in the years to come.
