Scuba Forum / General / January 2008GoogleEarth List of Dive Sites and Services
Hi all here is a list of Scuba Dive sites and services from around the world If you have Google Earth installed this link should open directly if not then I recommend installing it :-) http://www.scubazine.com/maps.asp Lee Web Slave ScubaZine Not sure if I did it wrong but all I got were great lakes dive spots..nothing from FL or points warm... > Hi all here is a list of Scuba Dive sites and services from around the > world [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > Web Slave > ScubaZine > Not sure if I did it wrong but all I got were great lakes dive > spots..nothing from FL or points warm... I got several Florida locations, including a few I didn't know about. All of them, however, appear to be springs.

All of > them, however, appear to be springs. I took a look at an area that I know well and that I already have a couple of sites surveyed in & GPS'ed. They appear to have the general neighborhood correct, but the sites themselves appear to be off by enough to make a difference. -hh >>> Not sure if I did it wrong but all I got were great lakes dive >>> spots..nothing from FL or points warm...

Lee Funny you should mention that ... just writing a story about diving and google maps. The reason that there is so much info on Great Lakes Wrecks is that the Ontario Underwater Council launched a program a couple of years ago where they posted alot of wreck information they had in their files onto Google Maps. They did it in hopes that other councils, clubs and associations, would put their accurate resource info onto the site. Great idea. Catching on, I think. The wreck info in Florida is so well documented it just takes somebody with time on their hands .... > > > Not sure if I did it wrong but all I got were great lakes dive > > > spots..nothing from FL or points warm...

It may be an idea to split up the file by country, or something like that, as it grows. It may also be worth thinking about partnering with some of the other groups which do this kinda thing. For example, their already is a rather extensive database for Ontario, maintained by the Ontario Underwater Council: http://www.underwatercouncil.com/?action=cms&cmspage=dive-ontario I think shorediving.com is putting one together as well...
