United States PacificIs very low viz most of the time but water clears at about 40 feet. Lots of divers go to this site for training. Has easy access to shore and a short surface swim. Great place to dive but not if low viz concerns you. I have gotten some great shots of octopus, starfish, crabs, lingcod, and a sculpture of an angel placed there by divers. I like this sight because of it’s easy access and rich marine life.

Mexico Caribbean SeaThis is a fresh water cenote deep inside of Mexico. Jacques Cousteau once dove this location with many archaeologists and palontologists as they discovered Mayan artifacts here. They have a museum in the park where they display an est. 6000 year old mammoth skull also found at this site. There are 3 cenotes, all volcanicly heated. 33,66, and 99 feet. All circle in shape with ancient petrified trees laying over inside the pools. Water is crystal clear and around 88 degrees year around. Very difficult to get to and remote but worth the adventure. They have a park entrance that you will pay around 100 pesos to get in and you can stay at the local hotel, good food and friendly people. They will offer you plane rides to check out the incredible mountains surrounding this small town, its cheap and worth it. Best to go with a group of people and schedule it ahead of time with the local dive shop. check out my pictures of this site in Rio Verdo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. "The Media Luna"

United Kingdom Atlantic (European coastal)Loch Fyne is a great place to dive all year round and whatever you prefer your type of diving will be found here. Air fills can be found at Inveraray caravan park this is air only if you need a mix, Tarbert is the place you will need to go to. There is a slipway at the caravan park that can be used what ever state the tide is.
There is also a cafe on site that is very friendly and worth a visit while waiting for fills. Basically all along the Loch can be dived.Once stayed in a b&b at Furnace and instead of driving to the area that was intended to be dived we just walked to the bottom of the garden and went in there, two great dives had by all.I must add that although l have stated depth at 30 meter`s there are places where this Loch exceeds well over a hundred meters if you are thinking of diving the loch please ask a local for advice, if you are not sure you can buy a map of the Loch indicating depths. I am happy at 30 meters and always find plenty to see at between 5 to 30 meters so l am sure that will cater for most divers.

French Polynesia PacificGreat dive site North of the Island behind the airport. Better when done as a drift dive because there could be some current. Visibility is usually great and the site is also kown as the "white valey" because of a large band of sand t 100ft, and going down very quickly. There main interest is a coral platform at 8Oft where you can sight sea turtles feading sponges, school of baracuda, tunas and some pelagic surprises as dolphins, hammer head shark, or marlin. At the end of the dive, it could be usefull to swim West close to the reef (40-60ft) and try to reach the resident school of jack fishes. Of course the main attraction of the dive site are the Grey reef sharks. The challenge is to attract them inside the school of jack fishes and enjoy the spectacle (see my pictures).
A "not to miss" if you come scubadiving at Borabora.

Maldives Indian OceanOn our way to 65' depth to watch the sharks in the strong currents. Used reef hook to tie in and wait for the show when this nice moray decided to run by us in all his glory. Many of the dive sites from this live aboard had strong currents, but also lots of sharks, mantas, and other large fish.

Turks and Caicos islands Caribbean SeaStayed on Grand Turk. Almost no current on Caribean side of the island, waters was 76-78F in April. Have whales in March. Island is somewhat primative. Currently 3 hotels. Largest had 20 rooms. We stayed on north west side of island so the wall dives were only 5-10 minutes away by boat. We were usually the only group diving and made for a very relaxing dive vacation. Typical day was up by 8, boat left around 9 or whenever we were ready... Dive 1 a wall dive to 80-100 feet for 20 minutes then top of reef for 20 minutes, then roam around small coral heads in the shallows till air ran out. Back to the resort for a snack and 1 hour interval. Then repeat for dive 2. A few days we squeezed in shore dives in the afternoon and one night dive. Most days we would spend the afternoon exploring the island, take a break to watch the sunset, then off to dinner. About 2000 people live on the island and approximately 30 donkeys and a number of dogs roam around the island.
