I have often wondered what the world of experienced divers think makes up a good dive. This is highly subjective, and there is obviously no right or wrong answer. Nevertheless, I want to see if there are some common trends.
I know the (seemingly)obvious ones like good vis, lower currents, warmer temps will probably come up often, but I want to see if there are conditions that are not generally mentioned that divers with experience may think just 'makes a dive.'
BTW the purpose of this is just curiosity and to help me identify potentially amazing dives that I would not have otherwise sought out.
My Favs (in order of importance):
1) Marine life: no matter vis, temp, current, etc if there is good marine life to be seen then that dive is automatically amazing.
2.) Intact wrecks that end up at the bottom due to unplanned circumstances. The history is just too awesome.
3.) great surface conditions!
Thanks for reading! Hope everyone can have fun with this.
