That would be so awesome! Are the electronic equipment/doors, etc still in it?

I dove in Montserrat last year. Not many people travel there. We were 2 of 8 tourists on the island that week
 
There's a geothermal Hot springs on the border of Utah and Nevada at the edge of the Great Salt Lake, just south of Wendover, UT. It's diveable, about 50 feet wide and 100 feet long. There are many "things" in the lake to make the diving less monotonous and a bunch of shops in Salt Lake City and the surrounding area train there. The lake temperature is in the high 70's even when the surface temperature is freezing. So we dive dry so we can get out of the water.

Unfortunately, I think there is algae in the lake because visibility is 10-15 now. It was 15-25 when I first started diving it about 3 years ago.
 
Crater lake would be neat.

I've dove blue lake (see DiverLS above) and bonneville seabase. Seabase has tropical fish and a couple rather large nurse sharks you can dive with and pet. They like to be petted because you're warm. All the fish including the sharks were raised from small size by the owners. It's a wierd warm spring that happens to be close enough mix of salinity to support ocean life. The vis is pretty poor though.
