For fan of wall diving just turn right at the exit of the The Blue Hole and enjoy Gorda Wall (+70m)

Bahura

Djibouti

   Djibouti  Red Sea
Djibouti is one of the most amazing locations on this planet, located right at the southern neck of the Red Sea in the gulf of Aden. Everything visiting the Reed Sea HAS to go through here. This area in general is among the most densely populated shark spots with incredible species diversity; from cat sharks to Whale sharks.
Can be hostile, and not everyone is friendly - Liveaboard is the best option.

Hand Deeps

   United Kingdom
Hands Deep
(12-50m) A series of rocky pinnacles in the middle of no where! Like the Eddystone, the kelp disappears once you are below 20m.

You can enter No1 and 2 holds and swim into No3. The upper deck and the engine room have gone. Two lifeboats can be found 20M from the stern.

This is the South Coast's classic wreck dive with so much to see of either the ship itself, the cargo or the life (red & grey mullet, a huge residential shoal of horse mackerel near the bow, bass, pollack, wrasse, congers, pout, pipefish, John Dory, whiting, ling, crabs, lobsters.
I even saw my first Sunfish on this wreck!).

Easy to find - there's usually other boats hooked into it. Or head for the buoy and you'll find it, or use the satnav 50.19.47 04.14.61

   United Kingdom

Bloody Bay Wall - Little Cayman

   Cayman islands  Caribbean Sea
My wife and I have been diving on Little Cayman since 1989. We've dived throughout the Caribbean and also two trips to the Bligh Water in Fiji. I can't imagine a more dramatic wall dive anywhere, at least in the western hemisphere. Bloody Bay Wall crests in water less that 20 feet deep, then goes vertical to 2000 feet deep. It's like floating along the walls of the Grand Canyon, with deep ravines and undercuts, and marine life of all forms just teeming on the wall and on the colorful coral gardens on top. There are enough swim-throughs, arches, and other formations to keep anyone in awe. As great as the wall is for wide-angle photography, I've taken some great macro shots here too.

A site that has to be seen to believe!

Grapple Rocks, Christmas Island

   Kiribati  Pacific
Grapple Rocks was an expansive pinnacle which peaked at forty-five feet. A dive to sixty feet revealed boulders and rock formations with increasing coral density approaching the summit. Flame angels abounded, as well as rabbit, trigger and filefishes. Large anemones with delicate, lacy, pink-tipped tentacles could be seen, and dozens of juvenile three-spot damsels danced before their anemone hosts. A common encounter is inquisitive green, leather back, or hawksbill turtles.

Christmas Corner, Christmas Island

   Kiribati  Pacific
Kiribati's Christmas Corner is the premier dive site in kiribati. With hundreds of schooling big eye trevally, barracuda, and several napoleon wrasses swimming within feet of divers. Even from the moment you do your back-roll off the boat you are surrounded by playful bottlenose dolphins who stay with you until you descend to the bottom of the ledge. This is definately a drift dive with a nice sloping wall that begins at 50ft. and descends to 90ft. Tons of nice caves to explore along the wall with spiny lobster and emperor angelfish hiding in the crevices. Reminds me of Palau's Blue Corner... Divers will come back year after year just to dive Christmas Corner.
