12. The Awesome Amazon
This is a popular secret diving destination among those who have been there. Television presenter Jeremy Wade reports that there’s a special spot on one of the mighty Amazon’s southern sub-tributaries that is especially noteworthy. In this secret place, a swimmer can push his/her way through the plants there into a small channel. The channel leads to a crystal clear pool and a surreal undersea landscape. But beware of electric eels!
13. The My Son Sanctuary, Vietnam
This sanctuary in Vietnam is a group of religious temples dating from the 300s to the 1200s. Located an hour’s drive out of Hoi An, these structures were left here by the Champa civilization.
