Honduras Caribbean SeaNice little dive site just off the shore of Laguna Beach Resort. Several entry points from the shore. The proximity to the lagoon with murky water can effect the visibily but increases the likelihood to spot special marine life like eagle rays or yellow stingrays. Nice hard coral wall with several cracks, dropping from 3-4m down to 20m+. Toadfish, green moray, sharp nose puffer, schools of Blue Tang, different angelfish, occasional pelagics like jacks or palometa. Several cleaning stations in the shallow. Great for wide angle especially in the morning and afternoon.

Netherlands Antilles Caribbean SeaProbably the best "hard coral" reef on the south side of Curacao. Watamula is situated at the western tip of the island and is best dived from a boat. Both "Dive Charter Curacao" and "Ocean Encounters West" run boat trips to Watamula. Shore diving is possible but both entry and exit are very difficult, due to possible strong currents a dive guide should be used.

Maldives Indian OceanThe biggest channel in the Rasdhoo Atoll, long
reefs with hard and soft corals. Due to the
hydrographic conditions, channels belong to
the favorite feeding grounds of large plankton
feeders. Therefor sights of mantas frequently
occur on that diving spot. The equally elegant
eagle rays and white-tip reef sharks can also
be seen there. Moray eels, lion fish and parrot
fish you find almost everywhere. The very rare
ribbon eel can be observed there, mostly with
just the head exposed.

Facts about dive:

You will be able to see the top of the thila as soon as you stick your head under the surface. It is shaped oval and the top is at 5 -13m, which makes it extremely convenient for a safety stop on the way up.
The thila is sloping down steadily on each side with plateaus and big coral blocks positioned here and there all the way to the sandy bottom at around 35m.
By the coral blocks on the top you will be able to find stone fish and scorpion fish hiding underneath and in small holes and crevices. If you look really carefully, it is often possible to find a small leaf fish, hiding between the soft coral and sponges.
Under some of the bigger coral blocks you can sometimes find baby white tip reef shark or a nurse shark or two.
Hawksbill turtles and gray reef sharks are visiting the thila frequently.

Belize Caribbean SeaDaily boat trip is about 90 minutes to the dive site. To see the whale sharks, its important to dive 2-4 days after a full moon and the best months are April, May and June. Placencia is a pretty quaint little town, nothing like the far busier San Pedro. Seahorse Dive Shop is probably the best in the area and the owners are fantastic divers and captains.
