I can't see

do I go up or down the ladder?

It's Coming Back

Helmet diving, or "Surface Supplied Diving", is making a come back! Proponents say it's easier and safer for amateurs to use helmets for shallow dives than scuba tanks (the old canvas full body suits are gone though). Tourist resorts throughout the Caribbean and the Bahamas offer helmet dives - no PADI certification needed.

It's a great way to take an underwater walk on the reef, and you can hold a conversation with your buddies while you're down!

I think I'd die of heart failure before I even got into the water!
