NetherlandsThe Bosmolenplas is not connected to any river. This means visibility is good most of the year. There are a lot of objects on the bottom like reefballs, boatwrecks, carwrecks, even a selfmade helicopter and airplane. There are also treebranches for perch to lay eggs in springtime. Perch and pike are the most common fish. The small marinelife is also abundant, Mysidacea, mussels, caddis and lots of other small stuff.
At 10 metres there are two platforms for instruction.
At 18metres there is a vertical wall that stops at 28 metres. Due to the thermocline this wil be a cold dive so a drysuit is reccommended.

Cyprus Ionian SeaThis is a site that Turtle Divers at Sempati Hotel took us to on several occasions. I prefer not to disclose the location in fear that fishermen will go after the groupers. As you can tell from this photo, they are very tame and unafraid of divers.

Maldives Indian Oceanat a cleaning station for mantas, we wre very lucky on our first dive to have these udewater 747's swim around us. This picture captures their size in realtion to the group of divers watching them, and makes us feel pretty small in the process

United States PacificAlways a favorite, Fantasy Reef is an East-West running reef off of Hawaii Kai and is routinely visited by some of the dive boats staging out of Koko Marina. Turtles are almost always present, and there are a couple of nice swim-throughs, White-tip Reef Sharks are common, in fact the last time we dove it there were three babies (about 2 ft each) under one of the ledges. If you have a sharp eye you may be able to find some Striped Pipefish. We've also had encounters with Eagle Rays and schools of Reef Squid.

Egypt Red SeaThis shot was taken at a depth of between 0-20 metres with a viz of 20+ mtrs, the dive was from a Day Boat with Camel divers in Naama Bay. This is the second time I have been to Naama Bay, twice in October, last year and I would recommend a 3-5 mm wet-suit / semi dry. This is a definate must for all divers who love photography at whatever depth!!!!
