Generally speaking, diving isn't a very sexy sport. Let's face it: we pull ourselves into skin-tight wetsuits that don't flatter us. We wear goofy-looking equipment that makes us wobble around the boat. And when we're finished diving, we get a weird ring around our faces, and we usually have snot dripping from our noses. We're not a sexy bunch. But that doesn't mean the places we visit can't be sexy.

Briefly, the islands are:
