Underwater diving sites are specific places in bodies of water that recreational divers go to enjoy the underwater environment or are used for training purposes
– Dive resorts are not dive sites, and dive sites are not dive resorts.
Marine reserves, marine protected areas, lakes, and islands are generally not dive sites unless very small, with only one place used as a dive site, though they may contain dive sites. When they do they are more accurately classed as recreational diving regions.
To keep the number of categories down, diving regions may be categorised with dive sites, but if a category of dive sites by country gets large it may be split into dive sites by country and dive regions by country.
A terrestrial settlement is not a dive site, but may contain a dam, cave, or other water filled feature which is a dive site. The actual dive site belongs in this category. If the dive site is mentioned in an article but does not have a specific article, it may be appropriate to include in this category.
