Where has been your favorite Diving and Where else have you dove?

[SBP Studios]

Favorite: Bahamas

Reason: The Wrecks, The Sharks. It was not supposed to be a shark dive. But it turned into one when we were about 45ft deep on a wreck. What a rush! By the time we had to surface, there were about 20 Reef Sharks swimming around us.

Places ive been:

#2 Cozumel
#3 St. Kitt
#4 Grand Cayman
#5 Maui
#6 Phi Phi Island Thailand


Would love to hear about your favorites as well.

Anywhere warm.. or at least above 65 degrees (brrr) with good viz and lots of creatures

I also enjoyed diving the cavern at Madison Blue. Can't wait to go back there

Favorite (so far): The Spiegel Grove

Reason: This was the biggest wreck I've done so far (until the Oriskany in two weeks!). Got really lucky that day with good viz, little current, and only six divers on a charter that could take 20.

Other places I dived:
North Carolina (the Hyde is a close second for favorite)
Elsewhere in the Keys
The Bahamas
Cayman Islands
Turks & Caicos
Lake Rawlings

The reefs in the Caymans and T&Cs were great and I find reef diving very relaxing, but honestly, I get a little bored with them.

Im the opposite, I get bored with the wrecks and find my wife LOVES them. So I go along.

With the reefs I get bored only if there is'nt much life. I can find a cuttlefish and follow it on a reef for 20 mins. Love it.

Most of my diving has been wreck/reef diving off the FL panhandle, and wreck/reef diving off of Miami.

Interesting. Id love to dive FL someday. Where else have you been Diving?

 

[Steve_Dives]

Favorite: Oriskany
Reason: While it is a long ride & expensive, it is huge. Tip the wreck up onto it's stern, and you'd have 700 feet of it sticking out of the water. The carrier's island was all we saw, and only briefly due to the depth. I want to take deco training so I can spend more time on the tower.

Others include Tobermory, Roatan, Florida Keys, Florida springs, and quarries of the midwest. To pick my favorite week, it would be the Tobermory trip. The wrecks held more interest for me than a week of reef diving.

I would like to try out the Bahamas as they have reef and wrecks, and wrecks that look like reefs. May try a trip to Lake Erie next summer for wreck diving a little more locally. Or, I may try to hit the wrecks off the Florida Keys (seen mostly reef there).

*snip* ...(until the Oriskany in two weeks!).

If you have time, visit the Naval Air museum. They have models of carriers of the same class, both before and after the overhaul. http://www.navalaviationmuseum.org/

Favorite place to dive: The caves in the Yucatan.
Second favorite: The caves in Florida.

Where else have I dived?

The BVI (love the color)
Byron Bay, Australia (love the color and huge schools of fish)
Monterey Bay, CA (love the color)
Various sites in LA (love the kelp, the blue water, and the huge schools of fish)
Nanaimo, BC (walls packed with invertebrates, tons of color)
Cozumel (lots of structure and swimthroughs)
North Sulawesi, Indonesia (sheer walls and color)
Lembeh Straits (fantastic macro life)
And of course, good old Puget Sound, with the octopus and the six gill sharks.
