Best dive site names....

Hot Rocks at an island near Bali, log book is in the truck or I'd be more exact. It is a great site. It got it's name from the rocks and sand that are heated by volcanic activity. The sand and rocks are warm to the touch and the whole site is crawling with nudis.

Never been but there is a spot in Monterey called Ball Buster. I'm trying to track down where it is exactly and why it is called what it is called. Sounds pretty ominous so far though.

We also have PTP (Pinnacle of Tremendous Proportions). This one may be self explanatory.

I have heard several stories about how this got its name ranging fromthe salmon fishermen catch the weights (salmon balls) on it, to what someone called it on a really bad day.

It can be a pretty difficult dive

Learned to dive at outhouse beach in Guam, always made me think of a toilet and wondered how clean the water really was.

Here on Oahu we have "Pray for Sex" Beach. It's even labeled that way on the Franco dive map.

We call a certain dive site in West Seattle - "Twin Sewers" because technically it is located between two sewer outflow pipes. The reef itself is lovely and both the north and south sewer lines are nowhere to be seen.

FYI - this is a boat dive off the west side of Alki Point.

EMBUDHU EXPRESS

... Maldives. The site is at the entrance of a channel of South Male Atoll near the Embudhu resort island. You feel like you're on an express train in the current.

The beach was originally "Pray for sets" from the surfers. The divers converted it.

enjoy the dive

A little off-topic, but there are places with unattractive names which in reality are okay--"Garbage Beach" in Woods Hole, Mass. comes to mind, actually a nice little site for a shore dive, and "Bridge Rubble" in Destin, FL is lots better than it sounds. These sites evidently did not get their names from a PR firm.
