Divers- what's your best scuba diving experience?

My coolest experience was my certification dive at Bullshoals Lake. When I went through the thermocline it was similar to floating through a forest in the winter. It was cold, the trees were bare as thwy are in winter, the silt was as a tannish colored snow on the ground. I was nuetrally bouyant about 12 feet above the ground swimming through the trees. It was as I had passed into a whole different world.

Stationed on Guam Marina Islands in 1961 & 1962 while on the Overland Rescue Team.
USMC Cpl Charles A Keller Jr. also a water safety instructor.

Down 85' off the coast of Jamaica. Never felt that relaxed doing anything else.

PADI certified since 1996...deep dive, cave dive, rescue dive, safety stop dive, shark cage dive, cold water dive...low visibility dive...retrieval dive... hope to qualify....not sure best experience but most memorable. 17 feet lsearching for Maui Jim sunglasses...found a four prong stainless steel prop by chance and returned it to the rightful owner...great day...!

I was at Winter Sports Clinic. They had scuba diving there (in the pool). I love to scuba dive! Tell me more!

Best was diving the Eagle Tire Company ship off Big Pine Key in 160 feet of crystal clear Ocean. The ship was a pristine wreck recently sunk to build a reef. Took a group of Boy Scouts and dove the wreck.

A night dive in Utila, Honduras with awesome bio-luminescent string of pearls. I love Belize.

Never dive !!!

When I and a group of Airmen dove off Okinawa in 1973 after a Typhoon. We found hundreds of thousands of dead fish pinned on the coral! As I trolled along the coral wall of dead fish, I saw a red snapper and a Needle fish laying there, so I took my knife out and started prodding. I prodded the red snapper - nothing, HOWEVER, when I prodded the Needle Fish, it came up to chest level and with its 'snout' it NAILED me - repeatedly - on my chest. According to my colleagues, all they saw was my arm and hand with knife flailing and a solid 'mass of bubbles' surrounding me as I sword fought this fish! It finally backed off and dove for the depths and as it dove, I thought WOW! Afterwards I realized I had burned about 30 minutes of air in about 20 seconds but it seemed a WHOLE LOT LONGER!

Okinawa has the best diving in the world. It’s a tie between my drift dive in front of goat shark island in the keramas or my dive with the whale sharks.
