I only sail on the waters surface in Scotland, and that is difficult enough. There are hundreds of Islands (Skye being one) and millions of rocks.

Every now and again, some one finds a new rock. That is, it's uncharted. It's usually named after them. i.e. Hendersons Rock, Jones Rock, Peters Rock, Smiths rock, etc etc etc.

The general idea is, you don't find a rock that ends up being named after you.

The problem for submarines is much bigger as one can imagine.

Here is a sample page. Lots of rocks as you can see.

Click on chart to enlarge.

[ Each little "*" sign marks a rock. "dr 0.5" means it sticks out of the water 0.5 meters on the lowest spring tidal ebb. Some rocks don't "dry" at all]

There are updates coming in all the time...

The general use of words in the directions are usually under statements. "Would be hazerdous" means "you will almost certainly die". etc :-)
