I am quite a beginner to diving but have already seen two beautiful sights. Once a cuttlefish went whistling past me and landed on a piece of rock. The next thing that happened was pretty amazing and unbelievable. It changed not only its color but also its texture to match with the rock. Another dive I was able to see this beautiful blue spotted stingray. The blue rings were beautiful. I am already excited to hear the stories of other divers.
What are some of the most beautiful sights you saw while diving?

My 10 year old daughter zig zagging in front of me going from Christmas Tree Worms to Christmas Tree Worms at Koh Tao. When you get close, the Christmas Tree Worms jump down into the coral. She was delighted!

For me it would have to be the vertical underwater rock faces in Moosehead Lake Maine. Formed naturally, possibly by glaciers. Most of them are in the middle of random stretches of water over 100' in depth. The founder of our dive group has the best video illustration of this sight so far.
Whoa. This dive site looks so haunted. No sign of marine life.
Just watched some videos and they are spectacular. Are they distributed through all coral reefs?

No. 1 was an Atlantic Deer Cowrie on a barge in Alabama. 2 & 3 were Horse Conchs I found on the FL Panhandle. 4 & 5 were the two Cabrit's Murexes I found (as well on the Panhandle). As you can tell, I'm a shell collector.
I'm quite partial to giant rusty hunks of metal that resemble ship-shaped objects. The Baron Gautsch in Croatia was probably the coolest

I've had some incredible dives, but the most meaningful was my first dive on the UB88, a German submarine sunk off Los Angeles Harbor in 1921. Its location was unknown until 2003 when Gary Fabian and Ray Arnzt found it. They didn't share the location with anyone, so my buddy and I began looking for it ourselves. Over the next several years we discovered new wrecks and reefs, but the UB88 eluded us. In January 2010 I received a call from my buddy. He found the sub...four months earlier. 
He lied to me about the depth and location, so I had to download the software and search for it myself. It took five months before I was able to meter one of my possible targets, and then another month before I was able to dive it. When I saw the conning tower, I remember feeling elated at finally seeing the sub, but I also had a "take that!" thought. Seeing the conning tower appear through a huge cloud of Squarespot rockfish was the most beautiful sight I've seen.
