Why some destinations aren't listed (2)

How the match works

Out of 100: up to 35 points for the season in your month, 25 for the number of dive sites at your level, and 40 for what you want to see in that month (without a wish, season and level count for everything). A destination closed that month, without any site at your level, or where what you want to see isn't documented, is left out and listed with the reason. Nothing is paid for: no destination can buy its place.

Everything comes from the data shown on each destination page. Some site levels are still estimates; the destination pages say which ones. Always confirm conditions with a local dive centre.
