Since this community looks completely empty, I thought I would start a discussion and just ask - what has been the best dive of your life?

I've been diving for a few years and haven't made it to some of the places I would love to go to but I would have to say my favorite dive so far was in Cozumel - I got to see a lot of awesome reef formations, barracuda's, I heard dolphins (didn't get to see them) and tons of fish life.

How about you?

I have never properly scuba dived with a tank, but I've snorkeled plenty of times. I'm torn between two favorites.. One was between the Galapagos Islands. The water was really cold, but the scenery was spectacular. The other memorable time was snorkeling in Akumal at a time of the year when the green sea turtles were grazing on the seagrass. It was really cool to swim next to them.

I've considered gotten into scuba diving so that I can explore the cenotes in Yucatan. But when I looked into it I saw that cave diving requires quite a bit of training, and it takes some serious effort to get there...

The cenotes would be amazing to dive but cave diving....shudder Cave diving always seemed like a very expensive, complicated and unpleasant way to commit suicide to me.
