Solomon islands Solomon SeaDive this site with Dive Munda. It is about 20 minutes boat ride from Agnes Lodge. A spectacular wall dive, plunging down to 70 meters. There is a good chance of seeing hammerhead sharks, silver and black tip sharks, and the occasional oceanic white tip. Along the wall there are huge gorgonian sea fans and lush soft corals and thick whip corals. This makes an amazing early-morning dive as visibility can exceed 40 meters and the chance to see those big fish increases greatly. Although typically this is a deep dive to see the larger species of shark, the novice diver can enjoy this site as well at a shallower depth. The wall extends so close to the surface that it is possible to snorkel the site.

United StatesDive 1: Drop in and go counter-clockwise around small island northwest of drop in. Keep the island wall to your right the whole time. At beginning of dive, (approximately 8 o'clock) depth is about 70 ft. As you progress around the island wall and reach 12 o'clock the depth rises to 50 ft. Once you reach the channel the depth becomes around 30 ft. If you have good air management you can do a complete lap around the island with one tank depending on how much stopping you do. WARNING: Due the Northern exposure of this dive the water can get unpredictable at times, especially in the channel. Make sure you do this dive on mellow days.
Dive 2: Drop in and go Northwest-west. An advanced dive ensues that starts you out at 70 ft. As you keep traveling in the same direction the dive gets deeper and deeper. At about 100-110 ft it's about time to turn around and head back. This dive is an advanced dive because of the depth, air management, and the navigation skills needed.
Dive 3: Drop in east of the point marked on map you will find a pipeline heading Southwest-west. You can follow the pipe to the end and back getting as deep as 70 ft. A nice dive with a lot to look at.
There are even more dives here in this area but these are my top three that I've found out here so far.

Portugal Atlantic (European coastal)Cabana Divers at Fonte da Telha, near Lisbon, does offer one of the best dive sites of the portuguese continental coast - Pedra da Lagoa. Average visibility is around 10m but can reach more than 15m ocasionally, and 20m exceptionally. Many different species can be observed, from huge schools of small fish to more than 1,5m Corvinas (Argyrosomus regius). Mola Mola is also very common. Lobsters, nudibranchs, several crabb types also very regular. Other common fish species are the blacktails, Gilt-head seabreams, European seabass, etc. Because of the rocky bottom, this diving spot also holds many colorful gorgonies.

Saint Kitts and Nevis Caribbean SeaThe site is off Pinney's beach - north end - you can see a church on the hill almost directly across from the cave site. The cave is small but big enough to swim into and turn around. There is a school of neon fish that seem to live there (they've been there every time I've managed to find the cave over the last 15 years.
It's tough to find that cave because it's really just the underside of a hill of coral. The reason I like it is that it's accessible from the beach and is the only water near the beach that isn't full of suspended sand (the cave blocks it of course). Another reason I like this cave is that I one time entered it with the intention of photographing the neon's and found a Hawksbill sea turtle in there. The shot I got was amazing with the turtle trying to easy out past me, pretty difficult with such a small opening, and the school of neon's in the foreground, lobster antennae in the background...

Indonesia Bali SeaDepending on the swell, this place can be paradise or hell. The day this particular shot was captured, a storm was brewing out to sea which made entry and exit quite a task with the increasing swell size. Later in the afternoon rescues had to be carried out by boat to retreive returning divers as exit from the beach was impossible( 5-6 feet waves breaking on beach)
