Norman Wreck
Michigan · 52–64 m
The Norman, an 1890 Globe Iron Works steel steamer and one of the first propeller-driven steel lakers, sank in a 1895 collision and lies 10.5 miles east-southeast of Presque Isle in Lake Huron. She sits broken in two with a 45-degree port list in 170-210 ft of water, her double-wheeled wheelhouse lying alongside and a yawl boat and massive collision hole on display. Cold water has preserved her superbly, making her one of the marquee technical dives of the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary's deep Presque Isle group.

Robert C. Pringle Wreck
Wisconsin · 85–91 m
Built in 1903 as the excursion steamer Chequamegon and converted to a tug, the Robert C. Pringle sank without loss of life off Sheboygan in 1922 after striking floating debris. Discovered by Steve Radovan in 2008, she sits upright and remarkably intact in about 300 feet of water — pilothouse with glass still in its windows, wheel, bell and searchlight all in place. This is one of Wisconsin's premier extreme-depth technical wreck dives, reserved for experienced trimix/CCR teams.

SS Kamloops Wreck
Michigan · 53–79 m
The Kamloops, a Canada Steamship Lines package freighter, vanished with all 22 hands in a December 1927 storm and was not found until 1977, lying on her starboard side off Twelve O'Clock Point in roughly 175 to 260+ ft of near-freezing water. She is astonishingly intact and undisturbed — cargo still in her holds and crew remains aboard, including the well-preserved body divers call 'Grandpa' in the engine room — making her both Isle Royale's ultimate technical dive and a de facto gravesite that must be treated with respect. Only fully qualified trimix/CCR divers on expedition charters should attempt her, and several divers have died here.

Fort Pickens Jetties
Florida · 3–15.2 m
The Fort Pickens Jetties at the western tip of Santa Rosa Island are one of the most popular shore dives in the Florida Panhandle, located within Gulf Islands National Seashore beside the historic 1834 fort. From the seawall steps a gradual sandy slope leads along the rock jetty to about 50 feet, past concrete culverts and scattered artificial habitat that shelter a remarkable density of fish. The site sits in an aquatic preserve at the edge of Pensacola Pass, so slack-tide timing is essential.

Sheraton Caverns Verified
Hawaii · 10.5–21 m
Sheraton Caverns is a classic Kauai south-shore boat dive near Poipu with partial lava tubes, arches, overhangs, and swim-through terrain. It is scenic and popular, but the overhead-like features make buoyancy, light use, and guide discipline important. The site is normally treated as an easy-to-intermediate boat dive in calm conditions.

Scuba Beach (North Boulder Beach, Lake Mead)
Nevada · —
Scuba Beach is the National Park Service's designated diver area at the north end of Boulder Beach on Lake Mead, a gently sloping freshwater shore dive near Boulder City, Nevada. Lake Mead is often cited as one of the top freshwater dive destinations in the US, with winter visibility reaching 20-50 ft. The lake's historic water-level decline (over 150 ft below full pool) has pushed the shoreline far from the original parking area and continually changes depths and entry conditions, so check current lake elevation before diving. Quagga mussels are present - clean, drain, and dry all gear before using it in another body of water.
