Interesting debate on another site as to which are the most popular wreck diving sites in the world. Clearly popular (no. of divers) and famous (no. of divers who have heard of it) are not the same thing, but I was interested what the views of the SB community as to which they thought were the most famous wreck dives in the world.
I guess everyone tends to hear about famous wrecks near them, but for what it is worth, my list would be:
1. Hilma Hooker in Bonaire
2. RMS Rhone in the BVI
3. Bianca C in Grenada
4. SS President Coolidge in Vanuatu
5. USS Oriskany in Florida
6. USS Speigel Grove in Florida
7. Zenobia in Cyprus
8. Andrea Doria halfway between New York and Davey Jones locker
and, not really individual wrecks, so much as piles of wrecks (I am sure within them they have famous wrecks), I'd probably also include:
A. Scapa Flow
B. Chuuk Lagoon
I am sure there must be famous sites in Australia, South America, Africa, Great Lakes, West Coast and more in Europe that I have never heard of.
Be interested to hear what others think.
