Best dive site names....

Dumbo's Dropoff - East End Grand Cayman. Supposedly there is a ceramic elephant at 100' with a great story behind it which escapes me at the moment. Maybe someone else knows.

Whats the best/funniest/most descriptive dive site name you've come across? We've all dived a "shark reef/rock/point" with no sharks or an "anemone city" which is a...erm...rock covered in anemones but which sites had a name which caught your imagination or had a great story or just made you laugh?

Whenever people talk about Dirty Rock in Cocos it sounds like a cool site, not sure of the origin of the name though. I think the weirdest site name I've come across is Jervis bay, Australia's "the *****house" but I'm curious to hear what others have come across with imaginative names.

Definately "Calvins Crack" - Roatan Honduras

We were getting ready to dive this site when one of the guests on the boat (a 350 lb guy named -appropriately - Calvin) bent over to pick up something he had dropped. With his bathing suit halfway down his rear-end, the divemaster looked over and just at that moment announced that we would all be diving Calvin's Crack.... so I burst out laughing so hard that the others around me looked and saw what I saw and we all lost it. The divemaster (up at the front of the boat) had no idea what was so funny and asked us what had happened. I was in complete tears and couldn't pull myself together... by that time Calvin had stood back up and things continued with a few of us choking back tears. We later filled the DM in and she couldn't stop laughing the rest of the nite... There's nothing like perfect timing to create a good laugh!

Radiation Beach. It's what the locals call the water near the intake and exhause pipes of the San Onofre California nuclear power plant. The exhaust pipe pumps warmed water back into the ocean, where it attracts a large number of fish and divers.

My favorite is a site called "crackup" It's a broken up jetty (technically a groin), and I guess to someone it looked cracked up.
