something
most
scuba

can't
resist.

find
wrecked
ships,
airplanes
and
even

nearly
irresistible

they’re
intriguing
to
explore,
exciting
avenues
of
discovery,

usually teeming with aquatic life

the

visiting
wrecks,
unlocking
mysteries
and
starting
to
gain
the
knowledge
and
experience
that
allows
you
to
see
things
that
others
overlook.
Sometimes,
only
the
trained,
experienced
eye
recognizes
that
a
small
hole
or
open
door
likely caused the vessel’s demise.
