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.

Portugal Atlantic (European coastal)By Plane is 2 hours from Lisbon to arrive at S.Miguel airport. Here you can find a few dive schools to whom you can arrange a dive trip. At S.miguel Island you can find many dive sites where you can take great pictures. This one was taken above a wreck called "Dori". Other dive sites you can find, with a little lick, some Mantas and sharks near by.

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.

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.

Dominica Gulf Of MexicoThe diving in Dominica is fantastic, once you finally make it to the island. Dive Dominica was great. The dive masters are very familuar with the different dive sites. This site, Pointe Guignard was an easy dive. I was swimming along taking photos of many marine creatures when I spotted an open white sandy area at about 55 feet depth and something swimming in circles on the sand. As I approached, I saw that it was 2 critters swimming around each other. I slowly approached and descended to the bottom and laid flat on my belly on the sand. I inched closer and closer until I was about 4 feet from the fish, 2 flying gurnards. They were oblivious to my approach. I was able to get several photos and was trying to move closer when some other divers moved in and the fish abruptly swam away.
