World's 10 Best Scuba Spots
Forbes Traveler asks diving pros about their favorite scuba spots.

1. Blue Corner, Palau, Micronesia
2. Blue Hole, Lighthouse Reef, Belize
3. Coron Island, Philippines
Coron Island is a wreck diver's playground, with Japanese WWII ship wrecks scattering the area. "The future for divers here is immense," says Jackson.Swim from bow to stern exploring the corals growing from the rotted wood, and the colorful schools of fish that have made their homes in the crow's nest. For the superstitious who would rather steer clear of sunken vessels, investigate the shallow coral gardens and underwater caverns nearby. Philippines' diving is great for all levels, with fabulous snorkeling for the less adventurous. April and May have the best dive weather.
(Oh yes! We are going to Coron this May! Itinerary will be post soon. :) )
4. Bonaire, Dutch Caribbean
5. Southern Red Sea, Sudan
6. Cocos Island, Costa Rica
7. Coral Sea, Great Barrier Reef, Australia
8. Providenciales (or Provo), Turks and Caicos
9. Bali, Indonesia
10. Dinah's Beach and Observation Point, Papua New Guinea

The World's Worst Taxi Rides

1. New York City
2. Mexico City, Mexico
3. Lagos, Nigeria
4. Bangkok, Thailand
5. Naples, Italy
6. Caracas, Venezuela
7. Moscow, Russia
8. Sao Paulo, Brazil
9. Manila, Philippines
In a city full of fanciful transportation alternatives--everything from rickshaws to wildly decorated jeepneys--the local white taxis appear boring by comparision. What won't be boring is the fight you have with the driver when he refuses to turn on the meter (frequent visitors say it happens all the time) and instead tries to haggle for an unfair flat fee. Ask that he turn on the meter before you close the door and sit down. If he won't, simply flag down another taxi and try again.
Tip: Hire a private car (as low as $20 per day), or try the reputable Avis Taxi (011-63-2-532-5758), which comes when you call and adds about 70 cents to the meter for the pick-up. You may also click any Avis Taxi add for more details.
10. Baghdad, Iraq
