Malaysia South China SeaThe dive site consists of two large boulder rocks placed side by side. In the narrow gap between them you can find Hinge-Beak Shrimp and Cleaner Pipefish (Dunckerocampus janssi). The visibility can be poor here so it's really a site for small macro critters. I doesn't take long to go around the rocks, so if you want you can head West and cross over to the "Shark Point" dive site. Sea temp in May is 29c

Mexico PacificIsla Guadalupe, Baja's best kept secret! Visited by fewer than 50 scuba divers per year, this electric destination is as remote as it is large.
The island lying 215 miles due south of San Diego, California and 150 west of the Baja, Mexico peninsula is comparible in length to California's Catalina Island, yet it's overall size is tremendous. This offshore mountain rises over 4000 feet from the ocean floor to more than 4200 feet at it's highest peak. A true ocean mountain!
The scuba diving here is not for novices as current, distant to civilization and overall dive conditions may be very strenuous at times. Yet even so, the diving here has been compared to CoCo's and the Revillagigedos for excitement! Large animals are the order of the day here as encounters with Pacific bottlenosed dolphin, California sea lions, Guadalupe fur seals and the ruler of the roost, great white shark are the marquee atractions. The chance of being engulfed by a school of marauding yellowtail or yellowfin tuna is always a possibility as well!
The underwater topography is astounding and unique. Beautiful walls, spire pinnacles, caves and granite plateaus are the typical topography. The giant kelp of California does not make its home at this island, yet there are areas that are covered with a taller version of California's palm kelp.
There is a diverse mix of temperate and tropical species at this destination as you'll quite often find a garibaldi next to a red tailed triggerfish or a swallowtailed damsels mixed in with a cloud of blacksmith. Parrotfish, scythe marked butterflyfish, leopard grouper and even and occasional Clarion angelfish are seen at this dynamic dive destination!
The only way to access Guadalupe Island is via a live aboard dive vessel and Horizon Charters Live Aboard Adventures is the only company offering regularly scheduled scuba dive departures to this destination. During the height of the great white shark migration, this company also offers cage diving itineraries.

Ecuador PacificLa Plata Island bottoms are, most of the time, made up of rock combined with massive Coral Reef Patches in good condition, coral fans (Gorgonians) and sand areas.

We can also see some green marine turtles, different species of sea stars, sea urchins, and sea cucumbers.

Spain Mediterranean SeaMenorca has very clear water all year round, there is diveschools all round the Island so diving is possible any day of the year. Water temperature goes down to 12ºC in spring and a comfortable 24ºC during the summer months. The north side of the island has a marine reserve that allows divers with a permit (easy to get), there marine life is recuperating from the rediculous fishing regulations in Europe that allows overfishing to the professionals and is tough on sportfishermen with their speargun... We do have very interesting caves all round the island, very good places for photography. Marine flora is abundant and makes dives rather colourfull on sunny days. There is a few wrecks worth the dive for the ones that like depth, below 40. As far as I know one of the best places to dive in the Mediterranean Sea.
