Netherlands Antilles Caribbean SeaGreat site for both diving and snorkeling. The sunken tug boat after which the site is names, sits in only 15ft. of water so is accessible to snorklers.
For a great dive, drive one car to "Directors Bay", which is about 5mins away in the car, and drift with the prevailing current around the coast ending up back at the "Tug Boat". Then get a lift to go pick up your car.

Malaysia South China SeaThis is one of my favorite & special dive site. Its only 5 minutes from my Gipsy Divers Redang. Its a submermeged bedrock / mount surrounded by sand. Maximum depth here is approx. 19 meters & its for all level diver. Experience divers may ops. at the reef edge & outer reef till the sandy area for rarities.
This site is best visit during begining of dive season in East Coast Peninsular which is March-May where viz can get till 20-25 meters. Normally the water temp. is 28-30 degrees celcius. The suitable time to dive here is during flooding tide where its shelter from the flooding tide. There's a mooring line for dive boat attached on top of the reef 7 it makes it easy to spot this site.
There's plenty of life on the reef atarting at 8 meters on the tip with huge amount of damsels & fusiliers swimming about the acropora corals. It is also known for brilliant wide angle shots of sea fan on the wall at 15 meters.
Pelagics such as gold spotted trevally & black tip reef shark can be seen here hunting when the tide 's coming in!
Occasionally jenkins ray can be seen resting on the sandy area. Photographers will look for critters here....devil scorpionfishes, zanzibar shrimp, Chromodoris nudis, flatworms & even banded shrimps & jann's pipefishes in crevices.
A good guide with proper plan will make this an enjoyable dive with ample bottom time!
Overall its my Top 10 dive site in Malaysia!

False Bay cleans up with a North westerly and South Westerly wind,and on good days the viz is more than 20meters.The sheltered Bay varies in depth from 3-7meters and is ideal for snorkelling and Training dives.Once you leave the Bay and drop down the rocky reefs you can get about 18meters.The outside of the sheltered bay can become surgy so care should be taken with novice divers on the change of the tide.This area has been a marine reserve for years so all the Delights of False bay can all be seen in one dive.There are quite a few different fish species the obvious are the Red Roman,John Brown,the Cape Knife jaw,Zebra's,Streepies and of course the National fish the Galjoen.Three species of shy shark,Gully shark and Soupfin are regularly spotted the juvenile Dusky's put in a rare appearance.
