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 dive starts like the Islander, but upon entry you go east along the rock slope, go past the buoyancy course (or maybe give it a try, never hurt to practice), go past the 20ft training platform, and start to look for the heavy chains from the Uncle Sams boat tour dock (stay low, the boat could leave at anytime, cool to see it go overhead, not cool to get sucked into the screws) follow the chains away from shore or roughly north-northeast. Once you get to the bottom of the chains you should see the restaurant about 60 feet away. Take only pics, leave only bubbles please.

81N to 13E to Alexandria Bay light, go left into the heart of A-bay, go straight until road T's, go right and follow it around to the left, the site is obvious with its pavilion and parking lot.
