Bulgaria Black SeaThe „St. Ivan” Island is with an area of 660 decares and is the biggest of the five islands along the Bulgarian coastline. Just a strait of several meters separates it from the "St. Peter" Island with an area of 4-5 decares. Between them and the shore there were two other islands in the antiquity, called Milos and Gata, which today are underwater.
Nowadays, the „St. Ivan” Island is not inhabited. In 1884, French engineers built a lighthouse pointing the way to the Burgas bay. On the same spot there lie the remains of an antique Roman lighthouse, which was built in ІІ century A.D.
The ruins of the monastery church "St. Ivan Foreshadower", built in 1263, can be seen there.
Besides its historical relics, the „St. Ivan” Island is also a natural reserve. About 72 species of birds nest in its rocks, land, and on its shore, out of which 3 species are included in the Red book of endangered species in the world and 15 in Europe. Other rare biological species inhabit the island as well – the underground hare and the “Monk” seal.
Lots of shoals of fish and other sea wildlife can be seen in the waters around the island at a depth between 4 and 25 meters. The cliffs are covered with black mussels.

Bulgaria Black SeaCape "St. Toma" is located about 15 km to the south from the town of Sozopol. Opposite it, about 400 meters from the shore, there is a small island called "St. Toma", also known as “The Snake Island”. The botanist Buresh planted a collection of cactuses on the island with an area of 3 decares in the twenties of the last century. Today, the cactuses have taken over the whole area of the island and perhaps this is why it has been proclaimed a natural reserve. Beautiful cliffs are located in the water around the island, rich of underwater wild live. The depth is from 4 to 12 meters.

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.

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:
This dive sites is simply excellent. It has a very convenient shape, and beautiful formations, easy to dive and you can always expect to get thrilled by a nice encounter.
On your way down - you will get surrounded by a giant shoal of blue keel unicorn fish.
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.
