Hawaii · 5–20 m
Honokohau Harbor is mostly Kona's dive-boat hub, but the nearby Crescent Beach/Alua/Naiʻa Bay shore entry is also a real local dive. The dive crosses a lava-walk approach to a small cove and follows a reef/sand slope near the active harbor entrance. It is a specialty shore dive rather than a general beginner reef, mainly for experienced divers who understand the boat-traffic and shark-context hazards.
Hawaii · 1.5–30 m
Kealakekua Bay is a protected South Kona MLCD centered for divers and snorkelers around Kaʻawaloa Cove near the Captain Cook Monument. The site has clear water, a gently sloping reef, abundant protected reef fish, and frequent morning spinner-dolphin presence at the surface. Access is controlled by permitted boat/kayak operations and conservation rules rather than casual self-guided motorboat access.
South Carolina · Up to 11.9 m
Artificial reef built from Cooper River Bridge rubble
Florida · Up to 35.1 m
Artificial reef built from 247' X 40' Dredge Boat, the "Avocet"
Puerto Rico - Lajas/La Parguera · 10–40 m
Boat-access southwest Puerto Rico wall system off La Parguera, with named dives such as Black Wall, Old Buoy, Chimney, and Enrique. Recreational profiles commonly start around the upper wall, while the wall drops far beyond recreational limits. Keep the record as an advanced wall area and split named sites later when precise coordinates are available.
New Jersey · 20.1–21 m
Artificial reef built from 165' Tanker Barge - "Ocean Wreck Divers III" NJDEP deployment record: Ship, material: 165' Tanker Barge - "Ocean Wreck Divers III", deployed 1997.
California · 3–33.5 m
Hurricane Bay, on Tahoe's west shore about 1.4 miles south of Sunnyside, is a local favorite for deep and night diving: free year-round parking sits just 50 ft from the water and the bottom drops away immediately, so there is virtually no surface swim. The silt-and-sand slope holds large sunken trees from 40-100 ft, the famous 'Alley Cat' sunken sailboat at about 60 ft, and an old truck-chassis boat trailer near 110 ft, with visibility around 70 ft. It is a high-boat-traffic area in summer, so divers should enter and exit close to the beach.
Florida · Up to 30.5 m
Artificial reef built from 48' X 10 'X 11' Ferro Cement Sailboat
Florida · 1.5–7.6 m
The Rainbow River is one of Florida's classic drift dives: a crystal-clear, sand-and-eelgrass river fed by the first-magnitude Rainbow Springs group, flowing at a steady walking pace over limestone vents and fossil beds at 10-25 ft. Diving is prohibited in the Rainbow Springs State Park headspring; divers stage from KP Hole County Park, ride the water taxi upstream and drift effortlessly back to the dock. Constant 72°F water, 100 ft+ visibility and abundant fish, turtles and bubbling sand boils make it a superb beginner drift.
New Jersey · 15.5–28 m
Artificial reef built from 247' Tanker - "Francis S. Bushey" NJDEP deployment record: Ship, material: 247' Tanker - "Francis S. Bushey", deployed 1986.
Indiana · 3–7.6 m
White Rock Park is a privately run recreation park built around flooded stone quarries in St. Paul, Indiana, offering swimming, cliff jumping, camping and scuba diving. The dive quarry holds a sunken school bus and a boat in roughly 25 feet of water, and on-site operator Aquatic Dreams Diving runs Try Scuba experiences and open water certification courses. It is a shallow, beginner-oriented site rather than a destination dive park.
Florida · 4.6–7.6 m
The SS Inchulva, a 386-ft British steamship that sank in the 1903 hurricane with the loss of nine crew, lies scattered in 15-25 ft of water only about 150 yards off Delray Beach's Anchor Park. Known locally as the Delray Wreck, its boilers, propeller shaft and hull plates spread across a debris field roughly 70 ft wide, making it one of South Florida's few true swim-out shore wrecks. It doubles as an artificial reef busy with tropicals, snapper and the occasional turtle, and is popular with both snorkelers and scuba divers on calm days.
