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?

    Mine was probably my first dive after my open water course. I took my OW in undergrad, so when I graduated I didn’t really have any time, money, or dive buddies, so I didn’t dive for about 7 years. I ended up doing a backpacking trip in Indonesia with my girlfriend (eventually, wife), and her friend. I was planning on renting gear and diving at the end of the trip, and my enthusiasm eventually turned that plan into a discover dive for my wife, her friend, and some random British dude that ended up tagging along with us for that entire trip.

    In the pool and on that dive my wife and her friend were struggling to descend, and occasionally crying a little bit. On that dive we all eventually made it to depth and then a very large turtle just soared above us and eclipsed the sun. My wife’s jaw hit the sea floor. Because of that one turtle, my wife eventually got certified, and her friend and her friend’s eventual husband got certified.
