Dive Site Listing for Subsurface

[TT_Vert]

The PADI dive site also has coordinates for a lot of sites.

Yeah I looked everywhere for this site online. All i can find is what I posted above.

stumbled upon this today while looking for other subsurface stuff. I created an account and uploaded my dive GPS info. Hope it helps. I have one more dive site i cannot figure out how to convert, if any of you know how, feel free to clue me in. I went to the coordinate conversion sites but had no luck getting anything accurate I could put in Sub surface.
GPS coordinates:

• 5° 04.8' N -87° 38.5' W

I think the issue with these coordinates is that the longitude should either by positive/negative or East/West -- having a negative longitude with the 'W' is not a valid coordinate. Either way, those coordinates look to be in the middle of the ocean not near any land.

Yeah, i'm not going to concern myself w/ it anymore . it's the one reef I did not have proper coordinates for and that is what google gave me for the reef.

Do you mean 5°04'48.0"N 87°38'30.0"E, or do you mean 5°04'48.0"N 87°38'30.0"W? The latter is near Cocos Island National Park in Costa Rica, the former is half-way between Sri Lanka and Malaysia.

It was in costa rica but not near those coordinates.

??Those are the same coordinates you posted, just expressed in deg-min-sec instead of deg-decimal min.

Sorry, to be more clear, I googled the reef name and those are the coordinated that came up for "Las Gemelas Reef". At the end of the day, it's not a big deal. It's just one of the few dives I had logged w/o coordinates in subsurface.

And the reef name was...?

It's in the post you replied to
"Las Gemelas Reef"

So, it seems there are three sites with the same name, near each other. Their locations are

so "your location" is about 11 miles south of the real location(s). Note the bottom labels on the bottom left figure 3 are not correct.
