Egypt Red SeaAn exellent dive, I beleive the best of the four reefs of the Straights of Tiran off Sharm. Both sides of the reef have abundant marine life, and during the warmer months hammer heads can be seen on the north side.

Thailand Andaman SeaPopular dive site on the west coast of Thailand between Phuket and Phi Phi Islands. Passenger/Car ferry that sunk in May 1997 after colliding with the submerged pinnacle Anemone reef. The ship is 85m long and 25m wide and consisted of several decks that are partly collapsed due to the fact that the ship was already quiet old when it sank, the divers entering the structure leaving bubbles inside and the sea taking its tribute. The wreck is standing on the sandy bottom at 30m with its shallowest point at around 15m. Loads of swim throughs. The upper part is increasingly covered with small staghorn corals, tree soft coral and sea urchins. Sea slugs, scorpion fish and lion fish are using the wreck as home as well as moray eels, sea snakes and Hawksbill turtles. Big schools of pelagics like trevallies, barracudas and rainbow runners. Visibility and currents can be challenging.

United States PacificGreat area to dive. Lots of reef fish, moray eels, mantas, and dolphins, macro & wide angle subjects. There are numerous dive operators to take you boat diving as well as lots of shore dives to do. The most popular shore dive is at "The Place of Refuse". The dive site is called "Two Step", named for the two lava steps leading into the water. Ask any dive shop how to get there. Diving in Kona would not be complete without doing the night manta dive. This is a Boat dive and well worth it.

United States PacificIs very low viz most of the time but water clears at about 40 feet. Lots of divers go to this site for training. Has easy access to shore and a short surface swim. Great place to dive but not if low viz concerns you. I have gotten some great shots of octopus, starfish, crabs, lingcod, and a sculpture of an angel placed there by divers. I like this sight because of it’s easy access and rich marine life.

Mexico Caribbean SeaThis is a fresh water cenote deep inside of Mexico. Jacques Cousteau once dove this location with many archaeologists and palontologists as they discovered Mayan artifacts here. They have a museum in the park where they display an est. 6000 year old mammoth skull also found at this site. There are 3 cenotes, all volcanicly heated. 33,66, and 99 feet. All circle in shape with ancient petrified trees laying over inside the pools. Water is crystal clear and around 88 degrees year around. Very difficult to get to and remote but worth the adventure. They have a park entrance that you will pay around 100 pesos to get in and you can stay at the local hotel, good food and friendly people. They will offer you plane rides to check out the incredible mountains surrounding this small town, its cheap and worth it. Best to go with a group of people and schedule it ahead of time with the local dive shop. check out my pictures of this site in Rio Verdo, San Luis Potosi, Mexico. "The Media Luna"
