Bahamas Caribbean Sea"We have dove with Stuart Cove several times over the years. We usually go on the advanced dive where we can go and do our own thing. This was taken at approximately 55 ft. with a light current of 3-5 knots. We used a giant stride entry and shot a role of 35mm 400ASA 36 exposure. Stuart Cove treated us like a Five Star Operation."

Saudi Arabia Red SeaReasonably healthy reef with good, easy access from the beach. The Dive amenities could use a little work, fresh running water at the dive hut and a phone line for emergencies would be a huge improvement but otherwise some good dives.

South Africa Mozambique ChannelBoat entry, rough launches, lots of charters to choose from. Always early morning starts
Selection of reefs: 2 mile, 5 mile, 7 mile and 9 mile - these are the distances from shore (boat ride).
Varying depths, lots of variety of reefs, amazing marine life.
Viz can be an issue as the current and swell can pick up considerably with changing winds etc., but always a challenge and lots of fun. Not for the faint-hearted.

Mexico Gulf Of MexicoI love diving in Cozumel. Every time I have been there, the visability is at least 80-100 feet or more. Cozumel is drift diving, with some days and some reefs having very strong currents. You have to be quick on the draw to photograph in strong currents.

Indonesia Java SeaIn 1998, El Nino killed almost all the coral garden in this bay. Since 2001 a coral reef restoration project started in order to save the corals with the help of the local community. The Biodoversity is amazing, around 75% of all the Acropora species can be found there (for information Acropora is the widest familly of corals). Now the reef has recovered and is again a rich nursery of fishes.
The Biorock project consists of now 52 metallic structures (between 1m to 6m in diameter) which needs a low electrical supply in order to help the corals to grow. This is the third generation of artificial reef. The best results has shown that corals can grow to 6 time faster than in normal conditions (www.biorock.net) and is a promising system for the climate change issues for the future.
We have seen different kinds of artificial reef, like the ones made of tires, concrete blocks, reefballs and ecoreef and for us this is the most efficient way to help a coral reef to recover. After 10 years the biggest table coral you can see at this dive site is on one of these strucutres and is around 2.5m in diameter.

Malaysia Celebes SeaThis is a shallow muck diving site under the rig behind Mabul Island. It is a good site for muck diving although the higher traffic in the past couple of years (I'm writing this in 2009) has degraded it.
