Hi everyone,
I'm trying to create a comprehensive GIS project for dive sites (reefs,
wreaks and other interesting underwater geographical features) in the
Red Sea, but I'm having a hell of a time finding GPS coordinates for
the individual sites. Anybody have any ideas where I might be able to
find this data, or even better, premade shapefiles? Any thoughts or
information would be much appreciated. I'm going to publish this
project to the web for all to use, if that helps inspire anybody to
want to help me out!
Gracias,
-Jaydubb

The Garmin GPS Red Sea Map on Chip or Bluechart has the full
information on reefs and wrecks. Even the Garmin World map will show
you most Significant Geographical features.
