drbill:QUIT? Never...
Travelnsj:Well...the reasons are
Galapagos.....4 dives I thought were worth while....cold and rough water and about 8k (maybe more) to fly, do the Aggressor etc....go to the further out in the Pacific.
Red Sea....great corals.....the fish left 20 years ago....if you tie it into a land based trip....will be the greatest.
Grand Caymans...did not see much....did that great wall dive....have seen more at the Big Dropoff in Palau in one minute that I have seen in a 50 minute dive there.
Sipidan....Two weeks diving...35 dives.....vis no better than 15' to 30'....long way to go from mediocre diving.
Maui.....nothing to see and I get seasick everytime I go diving there!....go to Kona
Belize....did the southern portion LY.....some ok soft corals....and some pretty fishes here and there and they nickle and dime you.....Go to Cozumel.
Overall I find the Indo-Pacific has the best diving in the world....but I'll still go back to Cozumel and I want to do the Bahamas.
victor:Thanks for the answers.
Sipadan is one of the sites I was looking forward to.
I am hoping to move out to Malaysia soon so most of my diving will be based out there from now on.
I will miss out on Scapaflow but Australia and the Pacific will be within reach.
undefined:Yes... I have been thinking about this for some time. It will probably end up being a deco dive.
Steve_Dives:Alright, now you're bragging!
TSandM:I hope I never quit diving. I'd be quite impossible to live with.
I'd really like to get up more into Canada, around Port Hardy and Quadra Island.
Bonaire sounds like fun. Someplace with unlimited shore diving and still beautiful corals and lots of reef life.
The shorter list would be where I don't really want to go diving . . .
