Southeast Asia. The dive world is pretty partial to it, and with good reason. The region is broken up into a series of islands and coastlines along the Pacific Rim that have made it ripe for dive spots, dive shops, and those looking for a great scuba adventure. What’s more? The price is right. Typically cheaper than diving in the Eastern Hemisphere, everything from tank to boat to bed isn’t going to put much of a dent on your wallet. Once you’re on this side of the world, a trip for two can run about fifty American dollars a day, and that’s a conservative estimate. If you’re down for a $2-a-night hostel, those costs decrease, and dollar meals are everywhere.
