Best dive you've ever been on?

Dives at the Corsair and Twin Caves top the list. The viz is usually awesome.

Worst dive you've ever been on?

Really not a bad dive, but my first deep dive was at the USCG Duane in Key Largo. I was so nervous, I think I got less than 10 minutes of bottom time. I went back and got much more time and it's a great dive site. I highly recommend you visit the USCG Duane if you're ever in the Florida Keys.

If you could dive anywhere in the world where would it be?

Other than Hawaii, I would have to say Palau and the Galapagos.

Anything you'd like to add?
