How To Assemble Your Gear



This video from watchmojo.com is a simple video that instructs you about how you get all you scuba gear assembled before getting into the water.***Students from school cannot view this video***

There are many places around the world that are known for their beautiful and breathtaking views of reefs and wildlife under the water.





Because of our current environment problems, many of the coral reefs and marine life have died off or is endangered. Coral is not a plant, it is a living animal! Coral is not quick at adapting to changes in the environment too quickly so as the sea temperature rises and gets polluted, many of the coral reefs have died off. To the left there is a picture of one of the most sensitive and rare corals found in the Caribbean which is now only found in Cuba. This type of coral is called Elkhorn coral. As tourism grows in Cuba it might greatly impact Cuba's beautiful marine life negatively.  Cuba is known for its amazing diving experiences because of some of its untouched reefs under the sea.  Some other places around the world that are hot-spots for divers are Maaya Thila, Maldives, SS Thistlegorm, Red Sea, Egypt, Great Blue Hole, Belize and Silfra, Thingvellir, Iceland and many more!
