I really like Monterey, and it seems sometimes like the colder it is, the more I like it I also love Hawaii though, in the first five minutes of my very first dive in Hawaii, I saw a 18-25ft whale shark-WOW!

 

[NudeDiver]

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.

Favourite: Australia
Reason: Mike Ball 7-day liveaboard, Coral Sea. Awesome!! S.S. Yongala is a great dive too. On a night dive on the Yongala, I was taking a picture of a turtle exiting the wreck, while a huge manta swam over me and my buddy - who got my attention and pointed off a ways, to point out a group of giant trevoli making 2-3 fish formation dive bomb attacks on whatever a big ass shark had in its mouth at the time. Absolutely awesome.

Places I've dived (in no particular order):
#2 Alaska
#3 New Mexico
#4 Florida
#5 Hawaii
#6 Egypt

So far, Panama City Beach charter. As a shell collector, they permit it and I found 2 gems at 120 feet--Cabrit's Murex and a Gold Mouthed Triton.

Favorite? The next one I do

This reminds me of my great companion Piotr on our last Mexico trip. When asked which cave was his favorite, he replied, "The one I'm in . . . "

Scubagolf, I'm surprised that you listed French Polynesia. On our trip, I found the diving in the Society Islands and the Cooks to be disappointing, with lots of dead coral and fairly sparse reef life. The only place I got excited about was Rangiroa, and I'd head back there any time.

Quadra Island off Vancouver Island (most life I've ever seen per square foot of bottom)

Bonaire (shore diving heaven)

Great Barrier Reef (fish and critters)

St Lawrence River (wrecks)

#1 - Maldives - just recently returned from trip to this beautiful place
#2 - Corfu - nice vis, lots of life.
#3 - Abu Dhabi - vis not too good due to dredging here in the UAE but still nice diving
#4 - St Abs (UK) - seals and nice drifts!
#5 - Sound of Mull (Scotland) - good winter UK diving with great wrecks.

Lots of trips planned though - next is Musandam in Oman and possibly Philippines in Summer.
