CanadaKootenay lake had a lot of bardges hauling trains, cars equipment in the early 1900s. They were flat bardges pushed in pairs by the old paddle wheelers of that era. Ocassionaly they were lost. there is a report of three hobos( from the old days of jumping& riding trains) going down with the box cars. We have found one old shoe, and took pics, set it on top of a box car at 40'. The deepest box car sits on a steep angle from 93' back up to 46' on a ledge. Most of the box cars have thier load of coal still pouring out of them. There are 6 known box cars and 9 more left to find. There are several dive sites in this huge deep long lake including a car ferry which was in service from 1954 until 2004. It now sits at 180' to the bottom, the top is at 95'. There are boat rentals (big enough to sleep on)or services to get you out to the sites. There are also some shore dives here to be done. Low cost Motels are close by. There is a ex Navy Diver who lives n the area and hires out his boat to haul divers out. He needs some notice to plan the trip. Hit charges are good, his boat will handle 4 tech divers easily. Contact the info@albertaunderwatercouncil to find him. His first name is Blair.

Spain Atlantic (European coastal)The vulcanic landscape of the island continues under the surface and in combination with white sand and great visibility gives spectacular bright landscapes. There are no corals in normal dive depths, but it is still possible to see much colour. Ideal for night dives, when many critters, hidden during the day, come out of their hides.

Netherlands Antilles Caribbean SeaGreat site for both diving and snorkeling. The sunken tug boat after which the site is names, sits in only 15ft. of water so is accessible to snorklers.
For a great dive, drive one car to "Directors Bay", which is about 5mins away in the car, and drift with the prevailing current around the coast ending up back at the "Tug Boat". Then get a lift to go pick up your car.

Malaysia South China SeaThis is one of my favorite & special dive site. Its only 5 minutes from my Gipsy Divers Redang. Its a submermeged bedrock / mount surrounded by sand. Maximum depth here is approx. 19 meters & its for all level diver. Experience divers may ops. at the reef edge & outer reef till the sandy area for rarities.
This site is best visit during begining of dive season in East Coast Peninsular which is March-May where viz can get till 20-25 meters. Normally the water temp. is 28-30 degrees celcius. The suitable time to dive here is during flooding tide where its shelter from the flooding tide. There's a mooring line for dive boat attached on top of the reef 7 it makes it easy to spot this site.
There's plenty of life on the reef atarting at 8 meters on the tip with huge amount of damsels & fusiliers swimming about the acropora corals. It is also known for brilliant wide angle shots of sea fan on the wall at 15 meters.
Pelagics such as gold spotted trevally & black tip reef shark can be seen here hunting when the tide 's coming in!
Occasionally jenkins ray can be seen resting on the sandy area. Photographers will look for critters here....devil scorpionfishes, zanzibar shrimp, Chromodoris nudis, flatworms & even banded shrimps & jann's pipefishes in crevices.
A good guide with proper plan will make this an enjoyable dive with ample bottom time!
Overall its my Top 10 dive site in Malaysia!
