Sunken Treasures:
What Makes Divers Love Shipwrecks
In recent years, interest in wreck diving seems to have increased, as
evidenced by the greater number of wrecks deliberately sunk as
"attractions" for divers to enjoy. Whether they're sunk intentionally as
artificial reefs or recently discovered archaeological treasures that
have remained hidden in their watery graves for centuries, for whatever
reason, shipwrecks draw divers.

Heritage Awareness:
Preserving the Unnatural Reef for Posterity
On the bottoms of the Earth's various bodies of water lay objects that
can yield a wealth of information about our history and civilization.
But if we're to gain the most from these invaluable cultural resources,
they must remain in place and left undisturbed. Understanding exactly
what we can learn - and why it's important to leave these relics where
we find them - is called heritage awareness.

Scuba Firsts: An Endless
Succession of Rewarding Adventures
Our first time slipping below the surface wearing scuba gear can be a
lot to process at first. That's why our first time on scuba usually
takes place in the shallow end of a swimming pool. We can stand up if we
feel a bit overwhelmed. Those first confined-water sessions we won't
soon forget but scuba diving is full of firsts. That's the beauty of the
sport; you learn new skills and experience new adventures every time
out.
