Title: Take a virtual dive with Google Ocean View
Post by: Wizzo on June 09, 2015, 05:14:25 PM

Always wanted to scuba diva in an exotic location like Bali or the Great Barrier Reef? Now you can take a virtual dive with Google Ocean View.

It's World Oceans Day today and Google released new Street View Imagery of more that 40 underwater locations around the world, including the American Samoa and Chagos Islands and underwater dives in Bali, the Bahamas and the Great Barrier Reef.

So get your gear and dive into Ocean View. (https://www.google.com/maps/views/u/0/streetview/oceans?gl=au)

So Scott, how about you contact Google about being homebase for their mapping of the ski trails of Switzerland?

(Or has Google already done that?)

Really cool! I've also always wanted to dive. This is making me want to fulfill that dream more than ever.
