Divers will travel far and wide to find the best diving. But those who live in the United States have plenty of great diving on their doorstep as well, with plentiful access to the Atlantic Ocean, the Pacific Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico. From warm-water reefs to temperate seas, here are some of the top places to scuba dive in the United States.

The Tacoma Narrows is located right next to the water treatment plant, just below the War Memorial Park at the base of the Tacoma Narrows Bridge.  This is considered a technical dive, and should be planned with an experienced guide or a local dive shop.  The rewards of your effort, however, include seeing the remains of the collapse of the original bridge from half a century ago.

This dive site is found under the bridge of the Tacoma Narrows. Head North on  Highway 16 from I-5 in Tacoma as if you are heading to Gig Harbor.  On the last exit before hitting the bridge, take Jackson Ave exit.  Do not turn on Jackson, but head straight across and down the hill into War Memorial Park.
