California · 21.3–30.5 m
A narrow, sheer-walled branch of the La Jolla canyon system near the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, with vertical rock walls plunging toward roughly 1,600-foot depths. A popular site for scientific and recreational diving thanks to the high density of marine life on its walls, usually dived by boat. Coordinates estimated at the canyon head offshore of Scripps Pier.

Alabama · 1.2–42.7 m
A 26-acre flooded limestone quarry in Pelham, Alabama, operated as a full-service dive park and billed as Alabama's premier inland dive site. Depths range from about 4 to 140 ft with an average of 100 ft, three 20-ft training platforms, training pools with 4- and 10-ft platforms, and sunken attractions including fire trucks, cars, boats, and a school bus. Surface temperatures hit 86 F in summer while the bottom stays 52-54 F; visibility runs ~25 ft in summer and 50-100 ft in winter. Full facilities on site: bathrooms, outdoor showers, gear tables, rentals, and air/nitrox fills.
California · 18–30 m
Train Wheels is a quirky Point Loma boat dive where two full-sized sets of train wheels on their axles rest in a rocky slot canyon at about 95-100 feet, possibly dumped as ship ballast or during a Navy exercise. The surrounding terrain sits within one of Southern California's largest and healthiest kelp forests, with prime diving between 60 and 80 feet along ledges and canyon walls. Reliable macro life - especially nudibranchs - and dramatic kelp seascapes make it a favorite with photographers; tidal currents are common.
New Jersey · 12.8–17.1 m
Artificial reef built from 85' Tugboat - "Celia Brown" NJDEP deployment record: Ship, material: 85' Tugboat - "Celia Brown", deployed 1993.
Rhode Island · 30.5–39.6 m
A German Type IXC/40 U-boat sunk by US Navy and Coast Guard depth charges on May 6, 1945 - one day before Germany's surrender - after it torpedoed the collier Black Point off Point Judith. The submarine lies in about 130 feet of water roughly 7 miles east of Block Island and is one of southern New England's most famous boat dives, with the conning tower, periscope and depth-charge blast holes visible. It is a war grave: penetration is hazardous and removing artifacts is illegal.
Florida · Up to 12.2 m
Artificial reef built from 525 tons of Limestone Boulders
California · Up to 18.3 m
Artificial reef built from Quarry Rock
Wisconsin · 30–34 m
The Ocean Wave was an 1860-built scow schooner with a rare eagle figurehead that sank in 20 minutes after striking floating timber in 1869, loaded with quarried stone. She sits upright in 110 feet of water two miles off Whitefish Point, Door County, her lower hull embedded in sand that alternately covers and uncovers hull structure, rigging and cargo. Bow and stern ramps and the stern cabin area remain well preserved, making this a rewarding advanced boat dive.
