Lots of people here are doing really interesting and fun dives, and some are even writing them up, but I know I've missed plenty of trip reports because they're often posted outside the DIR subforum. For various reasons, posting about dives to regional or technical subforums often makes more sense than posting them here (or making duplicate posts), but for those of us who don't read outside a limited number of areas on SB, this often means these write-ups go unnoticed by DIR divers. I therefore thought it'd be nice to at least have a thread here where we could post links (and a short description and maybe a photo or video link) to any DIR relevant dive threads we might have started elsewhere.
Please feel free to post your own links below to dive reports that would be on interest/relevance to the DIR community. I know many of us are interested to read (and see photos/videos) about dives being conducted by our community members around the world.
In any case, here are four trips from this year I wrote up earlier.

Two dives a few weekends ago at Ship Rock, a large pinnacle off Catalina Island, CA. For those coming out for the GUE conference next month, this is quintessential SoCal diving:
