USA diving highlights are so numerous that I can't mention
all of them here but you can find more details in the regional
information. In my point of view you should not miss the Giant
Kelp forest of San Clemente island in California. In the
Great Lakes region the cool fresh water has preserved shipwrecks
that would have disappeared long ago in salt water. Wreck divers
should also not miss the New York area with it's numerous sunken
boats. The fantastic deep cave diving for technical
divers in Florida. Tropical diving conditions from warm water
of the keys
in Florida where encounters with wild dolphins are
possible. And of course the encounters with the manatee of the
Crystal River in Florida.
I just wrote a few highlights but you can find more in the
regional pages or in the dive
center and
liveaboard websites.
