With the appropriate training and experience ....

Truuk
HMS PoW & HMS Repulse
HMS Hermes
Princess of the Orient

.... and if I can ever make $$$ doing anything besides teaching, Bikini Atoll.
 
Can I ask "what if it doesn't deliver"? (and maybe this needs to be a topic of a new thread?)

I have done a number of guaranteed must do signature dives. I have done way more "maybe you will see" dives.

The maybe dives have been less than 100% (as advertised). The guaranteed dives have also been hit and miss.
 
Where I would like to dive depends on how much I can afford to travel

Destination wise my bucket list is;

Red Sea off Sudan
Subic Bay, Philippines
Layang Layang, Malaysia
PNG
Truk Lagoon
Bikini Atoll
Galapagos Is
Easter Island

What I would like to encounter underwater;

Various nudibranchs that I have not yet seen
Dive on some aircraft wrecks
Whale Sharks
Mola Mola
Hammerhead Sharks

There are also a few people that I have met on SB that I would like to meet personally and also dive with them

A long, long time ago (I'd be about 14) I was diving back home in the Caribbean and I found a circular black object about the size of a coin. I tucked it into my glove and when I got home I cleaned it and got all the black crustiness off and discovered it was a brass button with a family crest on it, probably from a formal waistcoat. Not quite the gold dubloon I had hoped for, but still pretty exciting. I don't know what era it was from, but they sure don't make buttons like that these days, so I am guessing it was nineteenth century or possibly earlier (the BVI was a pirate haven in the 1800s). I have dived that area many times since, but I have never found anything else. But before I die I'd like to find just one more thing in that area to fuel my dreams of lost shipwrecks and pirate gold.

I have been lucky and have dived:

* Chuuk (6 times)
* SS President Coolidge (5 times)
* PNG (5 places)
* Solomon Islands (3 places, some multiple times)
* Great Barrier Reef (4 times)
* Palau
* Scapa Flow German WWI wrecks (August this year)
* and more

The only real place I would love to visit that I have not is Bikini Atoll. This is not going to happen unless I will the lottery as I cannot justify the expense compared to other places I have not yet been to.

Things I want to see:

* Great whites (from inside a cage thanks)
* Whale sharks

Have seen most other fish that others have posted about.

Very lucky that I have been able to afford this.
 
I have a bucket list trip that I would dive and snorkel on but that would only be part of the event. I want to go to Tahiti ==> Moorea ==> Bora Bora ==> Huahine ==> Marquesas. I figure about 6 weeks or so. I also want to go back to Dominica and dive (previously only snorkeled). I'm also thinking Belize for the diving, jungles and Mayan ruins.
