Paradisiacal places with the most transparent water in the world

There are few things that can inspire a traveler as much as the prospect of diving into the crystal clear waters of the sea. Unfortunately, most of the world's water reserves are subject to pollution, and garbage floats in the seas. But there are still untouched corners on earth.

For example, the Blue Spring in New Zealand, where water has been filtered through the soil for more than a hundred years and appears on the surface as one of the cleanest on the planet. Another example is the Sua Ocean basin on the volcanic island of Upolu in Samoa. This is a depression 30 meters deep. You can go down the steps to the platform, from where you can get into the crystal clear underwater grotto. Among the places with the cleanest waters on earth is not only a tropical paradise, but also such places as Iceland or Antarctica.
