your "Before I quit diving" list....

[DawgDiver]

Couple of threads got me thinking about the places that I most wanted to dive in the world before I die/quit diving.

For me, i think it is, (in no particular order)

1. Bikni Atoll
2. Palau
3. Northwest Hawaiian Islands marine sanctuary
4. Face to face with Great White Sharks
5. Bonaire
6. Australian Great Barrier Reef
5. Atlantis. (lol, jk about this one)

So, what about you, do you have a "must dive" list?


NOTE: No doubt the inspiration of this topic was sitting here in Georgia with thirty-something degree weather outside.

Florida Keys (in the barbie camper winnebago)

Bonaire

Dive with Great whites
Whale sharks

These are just the top of my list, I could dive for the rest of my life all the time and not see everything I would want to.

I'm planning on dying before I quit diving. But, I'll still give you a list:

Bikini
Truk
East coast wrecks
Australia
Palau
All the Florida caves
Anywhere else with good wrecks.

I probably would have included the Andrea Doria in my list, but from what I've heard it's deteriorated badly and almost not worth the effort anymore.


This is pretty cool, i might steal a couple of your destinations for myself! Definetly should have included the Galapagos

I want to enjoy... how shall i say... intimate relations at 40M. And to record the event for proper dive logging.

No. Seriously.
