Rangiroa, French Polynesia

It also would help if you explained what you are looking for. As a marine biologist, I look for dive destinations with interesting critters and ecological interactions. I prioritze those over things like reef structure and geology. I could care less for wrecks unless they are covered in critters.

Bikini Atoll is tough but on my bucket list.

Green Lake, Tragoess, Austria: The park that disappears under water every year | Daily Mail Online

Never been here, but I thought it looked very cool. Very cold water, I'm sure, but also a very interesting dive!

Ningaloo Reef in western Australia - one of the only places where you can see humpbacks, whale sharks, manta rays and tiger sharks in the same spot. Pretty remote but worth the trip.
We're running a Dive & Eco trip there in July if you're interested:

In the same area as Rangiroa, there is also Tikehau (for mantas and sharks in particular) ... And much further west in the Pacific Espiritu Santo and Efate (Vanuatu) if you like wrecks.

Project Habakkuk prototype at Jasper, Alberta. As dives go it's pretty weak sauce; cold water, no life, and the wreck is just a tangle of old pipes. But it's a weird little piece of history few people know about and much fewer have ever seen, and Jasper is also a great non-diving vacation destination.

Sounds enticing. Would you be able to provide dates and price and how many people are you planning to lead?
