I've done some land based diving here and there, have been to Cozumel in the Caribbean and will be headed to Hawaii in the fall. It's not a diving trip but I'll try to get 5-6 days of diving in over 3 weeks. But I've decided I'd rather do one awesome diving trip in the Pacific rather than 3 mediocre Caribbean trips. I'm a quality vs quantity type when it comes to travel. But where to go? Has anyone ever made a spreadsheet with all the liveaboards and prices?
What I'm after.. I like visibility, this is important. I like big stuff (whale sharks, sharks, mantas, dolphins, mola mola, etc..), the more the better, the closer the better. I like huge schools of fish, teaming marine life, bait balls, etc.. interesting topography is always nice. I am not a macro small critter type. I want sensory overload.
So where should I go? Galapogos? Cocos? Socorro? Palau? Maldives? Raja Ampat? Komodo? PNG? Fiji? Red Sea?
