Palau PacificThis has got to be one of the Worlds' best dives!
It has everything. The Marine life is big and small but with a roaring current you don't really have time to examine the colorful wall. It's hold on to your hat time and go with the flow.
The large pelagics are wall to wall and there is nothing more thrilling than to see the multidudinous sharks dart in for a nibble of some fish.
Predation is the name of the game and this is why the critters are so profuse I guess.
As you fly along (and that's what it is like) you need to be aware of where your group is (obviously) and watch your depth.
I was a bit wary getting in as there were huge breakers at the top of the drop off. Your dive master should put you in a ways off, get down quick and get to the wall.
The local dive guides are good, but perhaps a bit slack so tell 'em what you want.
Enjoy!

New Zealand PacificYou can reach the site via a track which can get muddy when it rains so a 4 wheel drive would be a good idea. Park at the locked gate with the koha box on the post, and follow the fenceline down the hill in an Easterly direction. Be wary of the route down the cliffs as some concentration is required! Make sure that your shore party are strong and fit and can help you get in and out of the water (confidence is needed here)!
The Cape is very exposed to the south, and therefore should not be attempted with any sort of southerly swell. If you can see signs of breaking water at the island then don't attempt it. In good conditions this is a fantastic dive for the experienced diver. The cliffs plunge straight into the sea and there are reefs to explore with lots of cracks, crevices and caves. There is a seal colony close by that can also make for good photographic subjects.
