This site is useful for checking out NOAA charts on line when researching new dive sites.

This is the same site. My link is just two clicks away from yours. The page in between will give you access to other areas as well.

This site is Navionics where I update charts for my boat GPS. It is more user friendly

Navionics also shows a lot more detail then the NOAA site. Is there a way to pull up GPS numbers for a location on their site?

I have also been using a couple of sites to help me find locations I have never been to before that have worked well together so far. The first is google earth. godownload.net/download/google-earth/mac/free-dow...ex5MMCFUJk7AodAHgAVQ This site will give you the GPS location for where ever you place the pointer on the map. The second is a site where you can download KMZ files that will overlay NOAA charts onto google earth. the-jacobs.org/gulf/diving/ Once you download a KMZ file and open it the file will open google earth and overlay the NOAA chart. You can then put the pointer onto a feature of the NOAA chart that you can not see on google earth alone. I am not sure exactly how accurate this is but it should be good enough to get you into the ballpark of where you want to go.

The site I put up for the KMZ files only shows the south east so if anyone knows of a site like this that has KMZ files for other areas please post them here.
