Top 10 Places to Swim

1- Bioluminescent Bay, Puerto Rico ( In each gallon of the bay there are 720,000 phosphorescent single-celled organisms that glow when they are agitated, which is cool ! )

2- Jellyfish Lake, Palau

3- Devil’s Swimming Pool, Zambia ( a naturally formed infinity pool at the very top of Victoria Falls in Zambia. 420 feet above the river below, it is perfectly safe "in the dry season" to relax at the edge of one of the world’s largest waterfalls )

4- Dean’s Blue Hole, Bahamas ( the deepest underwater sinkhole in the world. It plunges 663 feet to the ocean floor, making it vastly deeper than other blue holes )

5- Zacaton Cenote, Mexico ( one of a group of five interconnected sinkholes, or cenotes, located in the northeastern state of Tamaulipas, Mexico. It is the deepest water-filled sinkhole in the world with a total depth of 335 meters )

6- The Dead Sea, Palestine/Jordan ( The shores of the Dead Sea are the lowest land point on the surface of the Earth. Resting 1385 feet below sea level, the Dead Sea is also a hypersaline lake, one of the world’s saltiest bodies of water )

7- Chuuk, or Truk lagoon, Japan ( a sheltered body of water almost fifty miles long by thirty miles wide surrounded by a protective reef )

8- Yangbajan hot springs, China

9- The Seagaia Ocean Dome, Japan ( the world’s largest indoor water-park )

10- Sistema Sac Actun, Yucatan Peninsula ( longest underwater cave system in the world )

Number 3 is a bit scary ;/. What if you stand up to get a better look and slip? ;p. That would suck!

beneath the surface there is a natural rocky ledge that generates a back-eddy and stops you from falling. also thousands of still-alive visitors can attest to its perfect safety record.

I wouldn't mind trying it ;p

I just want the nearest place in the Gulf region to swim with the dolphins.

Other than Bahrain? :(
