Antigua & Barbuda Caribbean SeaAn amazing dive site close to shore just 5 minutes out from Nelsons Dockyard in English Harbour. Teaming with marine life and an abundance of lively coral, this reef is seldom visited by dive shops, except Dockyard Divers. Suitable for all levels you can dive it from 40 to 80 ft. In my opinion one of the best dive sites Antigua has to offer. A trully world class dive site.

Mozambique Indian OceanThis reef is famous for its friendly Potato Bass nicknamed 'Bert' there are several other large Bass around the reef but Bert is the only one that will swim with you. On the way down the mid waters are filled with game fish. The five rocks that make up this reef are covered with soft corals where Lionfish (often you will see over a dozen at once) and Sweepers lurk. In the overhangs you will discover Shrimp cleaning stations and Octopus, among the sand you will see Carpet Eels and various members of the Manta family.
Bert is an amazingly friendly (and large) Bass

Mozambique Indian OceanFamous for the Manta Rays it is named after this is a dive you will never forget, there are three cleaning stations which the Mantas circle around. Positioning yourself well and remaining still you can get these amazing creatures to float right over you, please be responsible do not reach out to touch!
The reef has a huge overhang where a Potato Bass is resident, while Red Fang Trigger Fish, Yellow Snappers, Bigeyes, Fusiliers and Trumpet fish are to be found all over the reef. Cleaner Wrasse of course are in abundance doing their job and occasionally a Devil Ray meanders in to see what is going on.
Often this is a negative entry dive.
I loved this dive seeing those amazing graceful creatures is a sight you will never forget.

Oman Arabian SeaFahal Islands in Muscat is a centre of coral diversity
Exposed rocky shores facing north and east is the hub of soft coral growth, while south and west facing shores contain hard coral growth, for example at Cat Island, Cemetery Bay and Fahal Island.
The Damaniyat Islands, about 17-km offshore, support extensive reef development. Damaniyat reefs are typically dominated by a few genera, but at some sites where the assemblage is mixed, coral diversity is known to be high. Damaniyat reefs provide a diverse habitat and feeding grounds for commercially important fish and a high potential value to Oman’s tourist industry, says Mussallam, who being an active diver has watched coral reefs from close quarters.
Sharqiya coast, which used to be an area of luxuriant coral growth, has only a few reef formations now. Much of the previously luxuriant coral growth was destroyed in a storm a few years ago.

Samoa PacificSituated at the North side of Nu’ula Island, it is a very interesting dive site with larger fish and varieties of coral and reliable good visibility. Topology consists of shelf like reef at around 15 meters and drops off to 40+ meters. Current can occur and creates a nice drift dive along the wall. When it comes to the end, we sometimes spot several sharks including white tips, black tips, grey reef and silver tips. Amazing soft corals and abundant fish life makes this site so special. Diving depth is between 15 - 30 meters. A 30 minute boat ride.

Samoa PacificLocated just offshore from Nu’utele this pinnacle comes up to 3 meters and drops into the depths of the blue (below 40 meters). We found huge schools of fusilier fish, barracudas, Red tooth Triggerfish and larger predatory fish, for example Dog Tooth Tuna, Travelly and of course a couple of grey reef sharks if you’re lucky! Small Eels are in shallower depth. This is an advanced dive as strong currents are regular. This dive is considered as the best dive in Samoa! Variation of diving while being stationary on top of the pinnacle or diving around the pinnacle. Max depth 40 meters. A 35 minute boat ride.

United States PacificTinian's Flemming Wall near Saipan, USA offers warm azure waters and all kinds of interesting life. From flying fish which escort the dive boat on it's 45 minute trip from Saipan to herds of Sea Turtles at the top of the wall, Flemming and Tinian provide ideal dive conditions and plenty of interesting subjects for photographers. It's my favorite site in all of Asia...so far.

Canada PacificMy dive #48 and 49 Aug 6,06. I booked a guided day with Great Ocean Adventures and they did a great job of looking after me in my first dry suit dives. both were Shore entries, the one not listed above Henderson point directly off the beach and Ogden Point off a 1 km breakwater on the south side of Victoria. Water temp 11 C Air temp 22 C at both.
Henderson Point, north up the inlet, had 1 ft brightly coloured sea stars, rockfish,crabs, sole, plain fin midshipman and moon snail egg casing that was 2ft in diameter.Depth 20m 39 minutes
Ogden Point is an interesting entry and exit off the breakwater with the tide trying to rub you on or off. A quick swim through a kelp and bed and we were down drifting along the breakwater and saw a Wolf Eel, Kelp Greenling, Big (2ft) Ling Cods and Orange Cucumbers.
