INDIA
Being one of the oldest and most populated countries in the world (with more than 1 billion people), the diversity in India is astounding. With more than 400 languages spoken here, it's no wonder that they embody "Unity in Diversity" countrywide. Known for it's amazing array of spices, temples, and art forms, India is also the home to the Taj Mahal (a UNESCO World Heritage site).
Although the cities are bustling, few are aware of the more than 1200 islands that exist within India's borders that offer a rich biodiversity above and below the ocean's surface. The Andaman and Nicobar Islands in particular are a diving mecca and considered to host some of the best dives in the world!
