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.

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.

United States PacificThe cliffs off halona blow hole go from cliff to 15 feet to 40 feet to 100 feet. Approximately cliff to 100 feet within 200 feet from shore. Hard to get in and out if any swell is apparent. I saw a Manta ray last time I dove there.

Thailand Andaman SeaBeautiful cove with both snorkeling and diving possibilities. Diving along the shore at 4-6 metres depth allows you to see lots of parrot, seargent majors, angelfish, anemonefish and scorpionfish. About 100 metres from shoreline, past the big boulder in the middle of the bay lies a katamaran wreck with good diversity of underwater wildlife. Several moray eels spotted, pufferfish, batfish, blacktips and nudie's. The blacktips come close to shoreline in the evenings between 5 and 7pm to hunt and feed. But not to fear as it's only juvies between 50-100cm. Snokeling along the north shoreline, passing the next small bay gives you a great oppertunity spotting adult blacktips hunting in the shallows just above a coral graveyard. It's only about 2 metres in depth here but you get a good chance spotting both turtles and giant triggerfishes.
