Undoubtedly one of the top honeymoon destinations in the world is the Maldives, tiny gems of lush green palm trees and pure white sand dotted in the middle of the Indian Ocean. Surrounded by warm, crystal-clear waters teeming with marine life, even non-divers can join in the fun by snorkelling in the shallows. However, to see the best that these remote atolls have to offer, you want to head out on the dive boats, where you will be treated to encounters with sharks, manta rays, eagle rays and turtles, not to mention a myriad of colourful reef fish.

Egypt is often overlooked as a honeymoon destination, but this is a crying shame as the country offers a fantastic climate with constant sun and hot temperatures, and the diving is second to none. Best of all, you can stay in luxurious five-star hotels and resorts without breaking the bank, so you can enjoy all the pampering you require while still logging dives on some of the world’s best walls, reefs and shipwrecks.
