Philippines Sibuyan SeaAs far as it is known that the only Blue Hole in the Philippines.
The dive starts in 5m deep into a volcanic chimney 6m diameter covered with corals.
Free descent to 25m where there is a huge cave ( lobsters rest on the ceiling and night big eye fishes roam).
Then Cinema Theater Big Screen Window!
Just keep your buyancy and open your eyes and watch for the wildlife passing by at the exit of the cave (top of the exit 30m deep, bottom 40m, 15 m wide).
White tip and black tip sharks can be spotted also eagle and manta rays as well as giant groupers and school of tuna.
Unforgettable experience.
Don´t miss it!
For fan of wall diving just turn right at the exit of the The Blue Hole and enjoy Gorda Wall (+70m)
that s a great drift dive with the same prolific corals and fishes.
Be a Safe Diver Always.
Good Dive

Djibouti Red SeaDjibouti is one of the most amazing locations on this planet, located right at the southern neck of the Red Sea in the gulf of Aden. Everything visiting the Reed Sea HAS to go through here. This area in general is among the most densely populated shark spots with incredible species diversity; from cat sharks to Whale sharks.
Can be hostile, and not everyone is friendly - Liveaboard is the best option.

United KingdomHands Deep
(12-50m) A series of rocky pinnacles in the middle of no where! Like the Eddystone, the kelp disappears once you are below 20m.
This a high energy site, that if the tide does pick up it is easy to find an area in the lee to explore. Life is similar to the Eddystone

United KingdomThe Eddystone Reef
(3-50m) 12 miles out from Plymouth, this large reef rises from 50m+. A high energy site with lots of rock gullies that are kelp lined above 20m, but once you go below 20m the kelp is replaced with a fantastic tapestry of jewel anemones, dead men's fingers and plumrose anemones. Pollack, wrasse (all makes), bass, edible crabs, lobsters and congers etc.
Being so far out, generally it has excellent visibility. The world's best dive site? Yes, it really is that good!

(23m) 400ft Frigate sunk as an artificial reef. A Frigate, whole and upright on the bottom!! This wreck is a wreck-divers paradise. A great dive whether you want to just swim around the outside, explore all four deck levels, or do a wreck penetration course.
Marine life is taking a good hold and varies considerably at different times of the year. Expect pout, pollack, wrasse, congers and even trigger fish

United Kingdom Atlantic (European coastal)James Egan Layne is (22m to scour) 417ft 10,000 tonnes liberty ship torpedoed by U1195 in 1945. Sitting upright in a sandy bottom, with no superstructure remaining and the stern broken off resting a short distance to the south. You can do an easy penetration all the way through, or swim down either side, then at the break swim to the stern.
You can enter No1 and 2 holds and swim into No3. The upper deck and the engine room have gone. Two lifeboats can be found 20M from the stern.
This is the South Coast's classic wreck dive with so much to see of either the ship itself, the cargo or the life (red & grey mullet, a huge residential shoal of horse mackerel near the bow, bass, pollack, wrasse, congers, pout, pipefish, John Dory, whiting, ling, crabs, lobsters.
I even saw my first Sunfish on this wreck!).
Easy to find - there's usually other boats hooked into it. Or head for the buoy and you'll find it, or use the satnav 50.19.47 04.14.61

(5-40m) The headland marking the end of Lyme Bay. 60m cliffs leading down to the water. Here there are huge boulders and ridges leading down to mud / silt slopes to a dark 40m+, although the best life is in less than 20m.

This starts as soon as you hit the water with garfish, mackerel & pollack in mid water, on the rocks various anemones, crabs, lobsters, flat fish, wrasse, congers etc. This dive can even begin with a great swim through cave

United KingdomThe Galicia
(18m) 400ft long, hit by a mine in 1917, then 'dispersed' in 1923. As a result she is fairly flat despite coming up to 5m proud of the bottom, but is a large site and a nice dive. Well worth a good rummage, still 'ship shaped' bits to see, various things are still on her (although ideally not removed). Lots of congers, pollack, usual pout, wrasse etc.

Cayman islands Caribbean SeaMy wife and I have been diving on Little Cayman since 1989. We've dived throughout the Caribbean and also two trips to the Bligh Water in Fiji. I can't imagine a more dramatic wall dive anywhere, at least in the western hemisphere. Bloody Bay Wall crests in water less that 20 feet deep, then goes vertical to 2000 feet deep. It's like floating along the walls of the Grand Canyon, with deep ravines and undercuts, and marine life of all forms just teeming on the wall and on the colorful coral gardens on top. There are enough swim-throughs, arches, and other formations to keep anyone in awe. As great as the wall is for wide-angle photography, I've taken some great macro shots here too.
A site that has to be seen to believe!

Kiribati PacificGrapple Rocks was an expansive pinnacle which peaked at forty-five feet. A dive to sixty feet revealed boulders and rock formations with increasing coral density approaching the summit. Flame angels abounded, as well as rabbit, trigger and filefishes. Large anemones with delicate, lacy, pink-tipped tentacles could be seen, and dozens of juvenile three-spot damsels danced before their anemone hosts. A common encounter is inquisitive green, leather back, or hawksbill turtles.

Kiribati PacificKiribati's Christmas Corner is the premier dive site in kiribati. With hundreds of schooling big eye trevally, barracuda, and several napoleon wrasses swimming within feet of divers. Even from the moment you do your back-roll off the boat you are surrounded by playful bottlenose dolphins who stay with you until you descend to the bottom of the ledge. This is definately a drift dive with a nice sloping wall that begins at 50ft. and descends to 90ft. Tons of nice caves to explore along the wall with spiny lobster and emperor angelfish hiding in the crevices. Reminds me of Palau's Blue Corner... Divers will come back year after year just to dive Christmas Corner.
