عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْأَرْضُ كُلُّهَا مَسْجِدٌ إِلَّا الْمَقْبَرَةَ وَالْحَمَّامَ

This is an interesting topic (for me) since I've prayed in places I would not do under normal circumstances.
Certain circumstances arise where time is running out and we have to pray but how and where is a huge obstacle some times.

Saudi divers build world's first-ever underwater mosque
Monday, May 07, 2012
A group of private Saudi divers said they had built what they described as the first underwater mosque in history and that they performed prayers inside it just after it was completed, according to a newspaper.
The divers used massive plastic pipes filled with sand to construct the symbolic mosque under the water off the northwestern town of Tabuk close to the border with Jordan.
Here are some great examples

I would appreciate it if you can share some of your experiences (even if they have been mentioned by someone else). Give brief intro into where and why rather than just saying where.
Jazakallahu Khair.
