Divers- what's your best scuba diving experience?

Almost forgot Truk Island diving all of those Japanese ships we sink during WWII and Palau diving in that crystal clear water, Yap diving with Rays and rainbow fish.

nothing to say at all

My best dive(s)? I was part of a detachment of 47 salvage divers and 11 EOD divers to travel to Kawjalein Atoll to blow a reef on the East Inlet of the Island near the Airport Runaway. This was July 1987. Once we arrived, and with all our gear I might add, the Vice-President of Micronesia related there was a change of mind by his upper echelon, the President did not want to harm the ecosystem and we were called off. However, the Vice-President, understanding our plight related he would give us a MK-8 Boat and two 18' Boston Whalers. and go and dive on all the wrecks in the lagoon for the next two weeks. When I heard this, I was as giddy as boy on Christmas morning. So, for 2 weeks we dove on anything we could find, ships, planes, vehicles and lots of Grey Reef Sharks. The two wrecks that I enjoyed diving on the most was the PRINZ EUGEN and the Eiko Maru #2. Before the Eiko Maru # 2 was commissioned into the Japanese Navy it was named the Keneshu Maru. It was a Japanese Merchant ship that was used as a troop transport during WWII. And to add just a little trivia, my uncle was assigned to the USS North Carolina BB-55. I told him I dove on the only ship his ship sunk during the WWII, the Eiko Maru #2. He remembered that battle. He was the Gunners Mate Mount Captain on Mount 52. The 14" guns just below the Bridge. The Eiko Maru # 2 was fully loaded including live ordnance and ammunition. Being a Gunners Mate I knew they were very hazardous. So, we steered clear of those areas. The best dive was the PRINZ EUGEN. It was a German Heavy Battle Cruiser, that was cruising with the Battleship Bismark on her maiden voyage. The PRINZ EUGEN was part of the Bikini Atoll Nuclear Bomb Testing. It didn't sink until it was being towed to Kawjalein Island. It started taking on water in the lagoon, so it was pushed ashore by two ocean going tugs. It eventually slide down a shelf and buried the bow into the sandy bottom at 120'. It rolled upside down and all three stories of 8" gun mount fell into the sandy bottom. It came to rest with a large portion of rudder, screws and and ships hull sticking out of the water. We could walk on the bottom of the ship. That was my best dive and I doubt I will ever have another dive to top that. But, I will not stop trying.
