Just a start

[edit]

I know, I know - your favourite diving wreck is not listed here, and how could I have possible missed out the SS Weekend Diver? This list follows on from a discussion on the talk page of Wreck diving about the need for a list of popular wreck diving sites, split out from the much more comprehensive list of shipwrecks. Despite the best of intentions, I have never found the time to do a really serious list, so I am just pushing out a slightly half baked one, safe in the knowledge that no one will be happy anyhow, and that the list will gradually get populated over time. Sorry about that. Ideally I wanted to split it out into tables designated technical diving wrecks and the rest, and also perhaps differentiating the top 10 or 20 or so in the world (hey, no shortage of such lists to refer to in diving magazines), but ultimately both of those projects will probably need to wait for another day. --Legis (talk - contribs) 19:47, 9 November 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Reformat listings

[edit]

Legis, I have reformatted the list for the Caribbean as an example of what I would like to do with the article. Your input is welcome. Cheers, · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 06:52, 8 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There are some ambiguity problems with the layout. For example the North Carolina coast is in the North Atlantic, and so is the Florida coast and the Caribbean sea, but it is probably helpful to the reader to keep them separate in some way. Suggestions welcome, maybe arrange by country within ocean or major region? otherwise I will play it by ear, and it may change a few times until something seems to work. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 09:57, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Listings

[edit]

Any wreck which has a Wikipedia article that specifically mentions that it is dived or was dived by recreational or technical divers can be added as an annotated link. The short description does not have to mention it is a dive site, but it must be mentioned in the text with a reliable source. If there is no such article, only add red links with a reliable source stating that the wreck is a recreational dive site. · · · Peter Southwood (talk): 14:26, 18 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
