Plongée à St. Martin's Island — Bangladesh

St. Martin's Island is Bangladesh's sole coral island, a tiny speck in the Bay of Bengal where snorkeling and basic diving are emerging. Infrastructure is minimal and visibility limited, but the island's frontier status and rock-bottom prices attract adventurous divers. Coral conservation efforts are underway.
