I dive whenever I can get near a bit of water with better than 1 meter vis'. When I lived near the coast I would dive very frequently. Not so much now though, just on holiday if facilities exist.

I've dived in Cambodia, Australia and Ireland. I found out that I don't really enjoy diving in cold water. Brrrr. Especially with a killer hangover.
Did some great snorkelling trips in Thailand. Nearly as much as diving.

Did you use to dive alone then or with a buddy.Well, the truth is, when the water was clear, and there was no one to buddy with....
I did break the unbreakable rule of diving a number of times. Not big or clever.
Luckily just turning up at the beach was normally enough to find someone to dive with.
Last time I put in some serious dives was in the Maldives on my honey moon. 14 days, 2 dives a day - 40m down with a clear view to the surface. And sharks. Heaven.

Some photos I uploaded 2 years ago to post to these forums. As you can see, I am a low tech diver - t-shirts and socks for me.

Originally posted by pparrishAustralia was the most diverse diving I have ever done. My wife and I did a 5 day live aboard that took us to 15 different sites on the GBR and the Corral sea. We saw turtles, sharks, huge cod....more stuff than I can name. We liked it so much it is the only time we bought the "dive video". That being said it was expensive & travel time was a killer (I live in Atlanta).
Where was you favorite diving spot?
For a much more reasonable amount Cozumel Mexico is almost just as good. The diving is easy, very diverse, and boat rides are very short (average 15-20 min.). All the diving is drift diving and is so easy it's not funny. If you have never done a drift dive I highly recommend it.
