Well How was it???? Is it worth it?

The Britannic is more like an expedition based on the permits and forms you need in order to dive it, its in greek waters so access is quite restricted by local regulations and the owners, only a handful of people have dived it, its at about 115m i think

It was good, an interesting dive, but only once at the monument the dive shop kept making us dive the hammerhead sites (no hammerheads). The main proplem was the dive staff ignored our experience and treated us all like kids, They had lost some divers previously and went over the top on protecting us.

Your in okinawa already so not to far to go, i would definetly go while im there, I went with Fathoms.

It's good to revist this list from time to time and I wish something had changed or been ticked off the list .. but alas nothing has changed... the only news is that I'm now doing my Adv Nitrox and Deco Procedures courses.. so some of the location will be more within my reach.

Does anyone know if Bikini Atoll will still be divable in 2005? Is is decaying much?

HI,
I remember a while ago seeing a list of the top 10 dives in the world you should do before you die. They included dives like the Blue Hole, TOwn Pier, Stingray city, etc.

Anyone know where that list is?

My list is never the same twice but the persistent ones are:

Truk Lagoon
Scapa Flow
Red Sea (soon)
Great Barrier Reef
Iceland
A 100 metre dive (doesn't matter where - could be combined with one of the above)
Cenotes
Maldives

For me, my top ten has changed since I started diving. Now I look forward to:

1. PNG
2. Fiji
3. Gallapagos
4. Palau
5. Yap
6. Indonesia
7. Maldives
8. Cocos
9. Ras-muhamed?
10.Mozambique or Madagascar

At first it was wrecks, and I've been to Tobemory, Thunder Preserve, the Staits of Mac.
Then it was a bit of caves, Ginnie Springs, Bonne-Terre
Mostly it has always been warm, Cozumel, all Caymans, Bonaire, T&C, Bahamas, Aruba, USVI, the Keys.
At times it's been exotic, Egypt red sea, Sodwanna indian ocean, Australia coral sea, Hawaii pacific.
I prefer the exotic, but can afford mostly the warm Carribean.

Dive dreams are wet dreams
