Malaysia South China SeaThis is one of my favorite & special dive site. Its only 5 minutes from my Gipsy Divers Redang. Its a submermeged bedrock / mount surrounded by sand. Maximum depth here is approx. 19 meters & its for all level diver. Experience divers may ops. at the reef edge & outer reef till the sandy area for rarities.
This site is best visit during begining of dive season in East Coast Peninsular which is March-May where viz can get till 20-25 meters. Normally the water temp. is 28-30 degrees celcius. The suitable time to dive here is during flooding tide where its shelter from the flooding tide. There's a mooring line for dive boat attached on top of the reef 7 it makes it easy to spot this site.
There's plenty of life on the reef atarting at 8 meters on the tip with huge amount of damsels & fusiliers swimming about the acropora corals. It is also known for brilliant wide angle shots of sea fan on the wall at 15 meters.
Pelagics such as gold spotted trevally & black tip reef shark can be seen here hunting when the tide 's coming in!
Occasionally jenkins ray can be seen resting on the sandy area. Photographers will look for critters here....devil scorpionfishes, zanzibar shrimp, Chromodoris nudis, flatworms & even banded shrimps & jann's pipefishes in crevices.
A good guide with proper plan will make this an enjoyable dive with ample bottom time!
Overall its my Top 10 dive site in Malaysia!

Italy Mediterranean SeaA beautiful site extending from about 10 meters to 45. Lots of calcareous rocks some of which quite scenic as they stand like monolith from the bottom of the sea up to a few meters from the surface.
Lots of variety of life including small nudibranchia, colorful sponges, barracudas, large 1-meter groupers, large Dentex fish, jackfish and the whole mediterranean flair of animal life. In Spring and early Summer months lots of rock lobsters. Even a shark seen at this site. Nearby you can have close encounters with dolphins. At night you can easily encounter the beautiful Alicia Mirabilis.

Indonesia Bali SeaTulamben Bay, Bali, Indonesia.
Several resorts in Tulamben, Bali, Famous for the wall/drop off and the Liberty wreck.
Approx 2 to 2.5 hrs by road from Denpasar airport, there are several local restaurants in Tulamben and they are inexpensive. Mimpi resort is friendly and the diving from there is well organised and right on the beach.
The beach is made up of large and small pebbles which makes walking uncomfortable and over many day's, your feet can become sore. There are porters available who carry your equipment if you dive at the wreck or the drop off.
The sea can be flat calm, and also quite rough, entry and exit over some large rocks below the surface can make things difficult, when getting in and out watch for the waves.
The bay in front of Mimpi Resort is black sand and not a lot to look at unless you are into macro, if you are then the diving is very interesting and there are lots of different and new species of Nudibranch to be found.
