First Posted: 12/14/10 08:41 AM ET   Updated: 05/25/11 07:20 PM ET

It's a rare person who doesn't love the water. We're captivated by tales of famous captains and pirates, fixated on tragedies like the Titanic, and enthralled with the idea of Atlantis. The dual nature of water, both dangerous and beautiful, holds the human imagination captive.

While we can't promise you gold doubloons or mermaid sightings, not all submerged cities and shipwrecks are confined to legend; in fact, you can visit many! Have a look at these sunken treasures for yourself.

What fantastic underwater sites did we miss? Let us know through your comments and, if you have them, photos!
