I would like to see a Sea Horse Too, Plenty of looking but no sea horse.
I would like to see whale sharks, more eagle rays and I think I would like to see a killer Whale.

I would like: Whale Shark
Manta (Gigantos)
Pelagic sharks
Flambouyant Cuttlefish
Whale of any species
A squadron of Eagle Rays
Orcas
Frog & Leaf fish
dolphins
Sea Dragons
The only sightings I have seen off this list while diving but would love to see again are a sighting of a large Manta off Little Cayman, and Minke Whales in Australia, plus a good number of sharks of different species at many locations with the most exotic to us was the 12 to 14 ft. Raggle Tooth off South Africa near Sodwanna bay.
Dive Safe,
Caymanaic

Flambouyant Cuttlefish

I would love to see a whale shark but would settle for a potato codfish.

1. Whale Shark
2. Giant Manta (Anytime in general, but feeding at night would be ideal.)
3. Various Turtles
4. Various Moray Eels (Anytime, but I really want to see them while they're out hunting at night.)
5. Large Grouper
6. Reef Sharks (Again, while they're out hunting at night.)
In the meantime, and where I'm new to diving, I'll settle for a stoplight parrotfish, some blue chromis, and some wrasses at a cleaning station. My wife and I had a chance to watch one of these cleaning stations while we were waiting our turn to perfrom a skill during OW training. Fascinating to watch.
On one of the other dives we saw a large moray (probably sleeping), a medium sized barracuda (parallelled us until it realized we were watching him), and a spectacular spotted eagle ray that swam up the reef, checked us out, and then continued on it's way. That one dive made me decide that somewhere somehow I have definitely got to buy/borrow/rent a decent underwater camera. (And then hope for the best from there.

Whale shark
Any whale, but particularly humpbacks, grays, or blues
Manta ray
Green Moray
GWS (from a cage!)
scalloped hammerheads
Mola
Giant Pacific Octopus
So far, my highlight has been seeing the profile of a 4.5 ft shortfin mako in the channels.

We have them in one of our quarries here, so if you're ever in the area, stop by!

Well, checked the manatees off of my life list a couple of times. I've seen dolphins from a boat once, would like to see them in the water. Humpbacks & sperm whales rank right up there. Seahorses and Sea Dragons. Probably the one thing I've always dreamed of seeing are hammerheads. I've always loved them. I see hammerheads, everything else is gravy.
