If you're talking about number of species, the area around Indonesia/Philippines and the islands in between boast the most diversity. (I think there's an ongoing dispute between PNG and Palau as to who has honors as the "center of marine biodiversity")Mikiko once bubbled...

archman:For density, dive in a public aquarium. Better yet, inside a fish farm.
riddler:Conversation overheard at a public aquarium.
Kid: Daddy, why are those people getting in the water with the sharks?
Dad: Well, in a little aquarium, you feed the goldfish with tiny little flaky food. In a big aquarium like this, you have to feed the bigger fish with big food.
erichK:We're going to the Galapagos over Christmas, and I'm learning to avoid showing my wife, a nervous new diver, all those lovely videos of the huge schools of Hammerheads. She's worried because sharks seem to like her. One her very first tropical dive, off Cuba's Isla de la Juventud, a couiple of years ago,--or rather, it wasn't a dive because she decided to just snorkel and watch the rest of us below--she had a sizable whale shark come up almost beside her (as we watched enviously from far below!).
She's worried the hammeheads will be as friendlY!
Zeeman:So, she wasn't even diving, has "been to Mecca" and she is complaining? Argh.. some people...
