Hi LoCz,
This cannot be answered without first knowing what you like. The best locations for wrecks are often not the same as for muck diving which are often not the same as for consistent & varied big animal encounters which are often not the same as for heavy kelp diving, not to warm vs cold water, technical vs recreational--well, you get the picture.
To obtain a useful response, you must provide information such as what type of diving you are seeking, your level of experience, live-aboard vs land-based, desires in topside diversions, how many days you have, budgetary considerations, and the like. The more detail you can provide in your inquiry, the more focused can be the response.
Now if you can answer these, I guarantee this board can give you some very good suggestions.
Best regards.

Hi LoCz,
Okay, got it, although my selections are of course bound by the same considerations discussed above.
1. For biological diversity - Wakatobi in the Tukang Besis (Indonesia)
2. For all-around underwater beauty - Fiji via live-aboard.
3. For the big pelagics - Galapagos via live-aboard.
Boy, it's hard to limit myself to just three.
Best regards.

My top three diving destinations would be:
Cocos for hammerheads
Thailand for whalesharks (Richelieu Rock)
Sipadan for everything
And we're on our way to Rangiroa (2nd time for me).
I agree, it was hard to limit yourself to just three. I didn't mention Galapagos and will probably regret it.

Hi LoCz,
No, didn't see Charles, but saw a tortoise that might have. They estimate that some of the oldest tortoises in the Galapagos may have been alive when he was about.
Pretty amazing, eh?
