The Great Blue Hole is a diver’s delight. With depths of more than 400 feet, this hole in the earth is one of the most astonishing natural landmarks of the world. Divers are amazed as the reef unravels limestone intricacies the deeper they dive. Due to the absence of light at such immense depths, little life is found deep in the hole. Around the rim though, exquisite forms of life surround the outer reefs that make for a one-of-a-kind location for dive enthusiasts.
Angkor Wat – Cambodia

Ack! I haven’t been to any of these yet!
I’d better work on that :-p
The only one I haven’t been to is the Great Wall. Oh dear…better remedy that soon! 🙂
Pamukkale and Angkor Wat are both high on my list and Brian would give his right arm to dive in the Blue hole.
I’ve been spending some time reading through your blog and I’m really enjoying it. Looking forward to reading more in the future. Thanks!
I’ve only been to the Tower of London, but I wouldn’t rated it that highly! How about the Taj Mahal?
I would love to visit the Great Blue Hole! Looks so amazing and scary at the same time. I wonder how deep it is.
bookmarked…. the great blue hole photography is simply extra-terrestrial shot…. pretty interesting read
Absolutely adore this list, I have only ever been to one of these (Tower of London) but looking forward to visiting some of these, definitely going on my bucket list!
Tower of London is not as spectacular as the others and should not be on the list!
