Best wrecks in the world
Dove the USS Emmons yesterday which sunk 64 years ago this week by 5 Kamakazi attacks during in Battle of Okinawa. A wreath was laid mid ships to honor the 60 sailors that died on the USS Emmons. The USS Veterans association requested that a battle streamer, US Flag (Ensign), and the commissioning pennant be flown off the boat. Since the pennant was 68 years old great care was taken. Modern US Soldiers, Sailors, Airman, and Marines dove the USS Emmons to honor those of us who served before us that gave the ultimate sacrifice to keep not only our country free, but to help bring liberty to the entire world.

Divers have found the mystery cable in the River Leam among mud and discarded objects in its murky waters. A team from Leamington and Warwick Sub Aqua Club entered the cold water on Saturday and spent several hours searching the riverbed before finding a 50-metre section of the line, which was around 25mm in diameter.

PARIS - The great port of Alexandria was a bustling trade hub, a transit point for merchandise from throughout the ancient world - until much of it vanished into the Mediterranean Sea. Treasure hunters have long scoured the Egyptian coast for vestiges of the port, thought to have disappeared about 13 centuries ago. Now an exhibit at Paris' Grand Palais brings together 500 ancient artifacts recovered from the area by underwater archeologists using sophisticated nuclear technology. "Egypt's Sunken Treasures" features colossuses of pink granite, a 17.6-ton slab inscribed with hieroglyphics, a phalanx of crouching sphinx, pottery, amulets and gold coins and jewelry - all painstakingly fished oOffers1 April - 31 May 2009.

The resort situated at Telok Ayer Tawar. It is the largest and most secluded sandy bay on the west coast of Pulau Tenggol.
In 1985, Kihachiro Aratake, a dive tour operator in Yonaguni, Japan was scouting for a new site to view hammerhead sharks. He had dropped into the water on the southeast side of the small island, off a place called Arakawa Point, expecting to see the normal crevices, coral heads, and possibly an entrance to an underwater cave. What lay before him, however, was something that no one had viewed in 10's of thousands of years.....Could he have discovered the lost city of Atlantis?I grew up in North West Montana, USA near the Canadian border and winters could drop down to -35F. I grew up as a cowboy and tough ranch work made me want to travel and see the world. I joined the Army shortly after high school. Since that time I have traveled to: Europe, Asia, Australia, North America, and Africa. I have traveled extensively throughout Asia, to include: Indonesia, Philippines, Australia, Guam, Thailand and Australia. Out of all these areas I have fallen in love with Okinawa, Japan. Why do I love this 68 mile long and 2 mile wide island so much?

I started hosting people here in Okinawa last year, many of them divers. Here is a great site to check out and sign up for. If you want to travel to dive, but cost is an issue, this might be exactly what you're looking for. There are people who will host all over the world.
The human body does many things well, but swimming isn't one of them. We're embarrassingly inefficient in the water, able to convert just 3 or 4 percent of our energy into forward motion. (Even with swim fins, we're only 10 to 15 percent more efficient.) But a new, dolphin-inspired fin promises to fuel the biggest change in human-powered swimming in decades, putting beyond-Olympian speeds within reach of just about anyone.
