Is there a local website to get Local Scuba GPS coordinates?

I just bought a Magellan Triton and I'm trying to use topo explorer to map all local divesites.

Any help would be greatly appreciated...

Here's a site, but aparantly I'm not qualified to post a website link here, so it's in pieces. Remove the word "remove" from the address. HTH

Some of the fold up maps and charts @ the boat stores also have many "numbers" for popular marine sites. A lot of the good accurate dive stuff is well earned kept in tight circles.
 
If you're looking for numbers along the shore you can go to Google Maps and find an address or zoom in to an area you want the coordinates for. Once you find your spot, right-click on it and select center map here. At the top of the map, select the link option. Copy and paste the link into the Google Maps search bar. It will look like this, maps.google.com/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=33.736617,-118.398285&sll=33.736002,-118.397845&sspn=0.002842,0.004045&ie=UTF8&t=h&z=16]33.736617,-118.398285 - Google Maps. Delete the information before and after the coordinates to get this, 33.736617,-118.398285 and click search maps. A popup window will appear with the numbers in digits and feet/minutes.
 
Hi,
our dive simulator has detailed GPS coordinates for several dive sites in SoCal.

In addition of the overall GPS coordinates for a dive site, You can also get GPS coordinates of specific features (such as rock formations or parts of a wreck) within that dive site.

Regards,
