Trip report: Diving the North Carolina Coast
Just below "The Graveyard of the Atlantic" off the Outer Banks of
North Carolina lies the "Crystal Coast" with its own assortment of
historic and artificial reef wrecks. ScubaDiverInfo made a quick
trip to see, with the help of the folks at Olympus Dive Center in
Morehead City, NC, what diving the North Carolina coast is like.

Trip report: Diving wrecks and reefs of South Florida
How exciting could diving off Pompano Beach, Florida, possibly be?
Very much so as ScubaDiverInfo found out during a product-testing
week of wreck and reef diving with the great folks at Pompano Dive
Center. Seven wrecks in six days. And we even had a nice close-up
with a hammerhead. [See Diving South Florida May 2016] -- Posted

Mermaiding: Making a splash for a bigger cause
Who doesn't love mermaids? Mermaids are not only in lore, but also
movies (The Little Mermaid, etc.), on TV, and they rival unicorns
in popularity in fantasy art. Now there are even mermaid schools,
where interested parties can learn mermaiding as sport, with
special mermaid fins and all. One of them is run by former
Singapore national swimmer Nicole Cheng who goes by the moniker
Mermaid Lilith and is a strong proponent of mermaiding as sport.
