Ginnie Springs, Florida: Florida has a wealth of freshwater underwater caves to explore, but Ginnie Springs stands apart for its accessibility and crystal-clear water. There's no need for extra training to explore the large cavern in Ginnie Springs; it's been deemed safe enough for open-water certified scuba divers to enter. The upper portion is lit by sunshine filtering through the entrance (an impressive sight). Have you ever been scuba diving in Ginnie Springs, Florida?

Shipwreck of the Sweepstakes, Lake Huron, Ontario, Canada: There are over 6,000 shipwrecks in the Great Lakes, most of which have not been accessed by people. But there are some wrecks visible in shallower waters, including the schooner Sweepstakes, located in Lake Huron's Big Tub Harbour in Fathom Five National Marine Park. The boat sank about 50 yards from the shore in September 1885 and has remained surprisingly intact ever since, making it a popular attraction for divers and tourists. Have you seen the schooner Sweepstakes in Ontario, Canada?

The Green Lake, Tragoess, Austria: During the fall and winter, Austria's Green Lake is a small but scenic body of water surrounded by popular hiking trails. But when the snow on the bordering mountains begins to melt in the spring, the runoff causes the lake's water levels to rise. By June, the nearby park becomes completely submerged, making for one of the most unusual diving experiences in the world. If you are a diver would you like to see this underwater park?

Amphitrite statue, Grand Cayman, Cayman Islands: If you ever want to come face-to-face with a mermaid, consider booking your next vacation to Grand Cayman. One of the island's quirkiest attractions is a ghostly mermaid statue sitting in 50 feet of water off the coast of the beach, where she has been chilling since 2000. The 9-foot-tall, 600-pound sculpture is based off of Amphitrite, goddess of the sea and wife of Poseidon in Greek mythology. If you ever get a chance to visit the Cayman Islands would you like to see this ghostly mermaid statue?
