Honduras Caribbean SeaThis is the most popular site for drift diving in Utila. The primary wall descends to approximately 70 feet, and then there is a sloping descent to a sandy bottom. Along the sand channel that separates these two areas, divers drift past caverns where they see abundant marine life. Spotted drums, squirrel fish, moray eels, trunk fish, trigger fish, turtles, sting rays, and midnight parrot fish are the standard fare.

Honduras Caribbean SeaShallow sand channels, deep channels, a cavern, and a steep wall provide something of interest for everyone. Hundreds of fish usually congregate here, and we often see large turtles, green morays, and rays at this site. Hard and soft corals abound, and the reef is amazing here. Be careful as you explore, if you do an unguided dive. It's called the Maze for a reason!

Honduras Caribbean SeaThis site provides divers with a small wall, shallows, and a shallow cavern in which to find an assortment of fish from juveniles to large tarpon. I have seen Southern Sting Rays, nurse sharks, and huge crabs here, in addition to scorpion fish, sand dollars, and numerous "typical" Caribbean species.

Honduras Caribbean SeaThis site has a small wall starting around 35 feet and continuing to 90 about feet. Although there is a drop-off further out to sea, only tech divers explore the outer reaches of this site. In addition to seeing a myriad of hard and soft corals, recreational divers often see spotted eagle rays, turtles, and green morays here in addition to the more common Caribbean marine species. Although most divers dive this site from a day boat, it is also accessible from the shore.

Sudan Red SeaSanganeb (Sanganeab) Atoll is located a short distance outside Port Sudan. It was the only place we actually set foot on Sudan terrirory after clearing Customs in Port Sudan. (We stayed on the liveaboard while our crew efficiently cleared us in and out of Customs). The diving in the Sudanese waters was tremendous. The reefs are uncrowded; we only saw one other dive boat during almost 2 weeks in Sudan. The fish life is wonderful and the visibility is great. Unfortunately, the water was warm in September, and we only saw a couple of sharks. However, other large life made up for the missing sharks, such as schools of bumphead parrotfish, squadrons of manta rays, and a few Napolean wrasses.

Fiji PacificShark Alley - Well say no more!
What can we say about this electric dive site. Ride the currents down the middle of Naiqoro Passage into circling Grey Reef Sharks and dart aorund the bottom between White Tip Reef Sharks.
All moving along gracefully in the current.
website Definitely one of our must see dive sites!

Fiji PacificSo named by a divemaster who marked it on the map inside the reef at Naiqoro Marine Reserve with a big X.
This delicate dive site is one of the best places to get those marvelous Great Astrolabe Reef acropora table coral shots. Many huge specimens here all in pristine condtion.

Fiji PacificPreviously called Purple Wall, Road Rage was renamed by one of our regular divers who said that the ripping currents and overwhelming numbers of fish traffic here just weren't well enough described by a "wall dive".
Drop in at the end the Naiqoro Marine Reserve passage and descend to the bottom to be swept into the mouth of the channel to get caught up in the traffic!

Canada PacificSome of the best diving in the world according to Jacques Cousteau and I must agree. Browning pass is like a wall of color and life is everywhere. This dive site if you can handle the cold water is better than any warm water diving I have seen. Bring your drysuit.

Fiji PacificOur newest dive site only discovered in early 2008, this site has turned out to be another Kadavu site where manta rays can be seen regularly.
Even without these magnificent creatures, the reef itself is outstanding in its quality and diversity of fish life.
If you see mantas as well, this dive will always rank amongst the best you will ever do.

Fiji PacificA very special dive and one of the few places in the world where manta rays can be seen regularly.
You'll be taken by the size and graze of these beautiful creatures as they circle inquisitively. Though almost within touching distance all you'll do is stand back in awe.

United States PacificGreat cold water diving. Must have a light and be advanced diver to dive this area. Neah Bay is one of Washington states best dive areas and Curley's Resort and dive center in Sekiu is a full service dive shop. I have see whales, wolf fish, basket stars, nudibranchs and the list go's on. The water is cold so if you have a dry suit us it, and the vis can be as good as 60+ feet. I have over 600 dives in this area and I must say it's some of the best diving anywhere.

Dominica Caribbean SeaA mixing zone between Caribbean and Atlantic waters; begin on the Atlantic side and dive through a tunnel to the Caribbean, the wall forms part of a sunken volcanic crater. If there is a current it brings up all sorts of nutrients and creatures big and small feed on each other.
The tunnel is cloaked in soft and cup corals, the wall has a profusion of colour from crinoids and black coral trees, to giant barrel sponges and vase sponges. following the wall brings you back to the edge of the crater and back on the shelf where the mooring can be found.
A truly jaw dropping dive and a must see for any diver visiting the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Indonesia Molucca SeaMuck diving! There are some small walls inthe Lembeh straits and some reefs, but mainly it's about the muck. Vast plains of black or white sand. This is the Serengeti of the underwater world. Nowhere to hide but under the sand. In this environment, it's hide, eat, look really deadly or be eaten. There are creatures here that are too weird - things you would expect from deep sea creatures or other planets. It may not be strong current adreneline diving, but you gotta camera, there's lots to photograph.
I dived with NAD, which was a small resort with only beer being the only alcohol - there's no bar, but it's small, friendly and the guides are great - especially Nan. Rooms are comfy, but the roof runs along the length of all rooms, so there can be some noise. Food is buffet style and very nice.
I then dived with Lembeh Resort - twice the price but rooms, food, drinks nicer. Still, diving's still the same, so depends on your budget and comfort needs. colourful deeper walls full of macro life and walls against the shore covered in invertebrate life right up to the surface. At night these walls are an explosion of colour and its the best night dive site I have ever dived
