Introduction
Our daily morning excursion boards at 8:30 am and is a two-tank trip. The first Dive will be on the 520 ft USNS Gen. Hoyt S. Vandenberg wreck site. She rests in 150 feet of water, yet her profile and superstructure rise from the bottom to the shallowest point of 47 feet below the surface. The Second Dive will be our world famous coral reef in approx 40-60 ft of water.
Diving always gains popularity around the time of the Summer Olympics as spectators line up to see incredible feats of flexibility, strength and power. The most prominent diver in US diving history is Greg Louganis, who went on to win several gold medals in dramatic fashion. The US has always recognized diving at every scholastic level. Most high schools and colleges maintain diving teams that often train with the swim teams. But don't get them mixed up, as divers are definitely not considered swimmers.
The history of diving is a simple one that involves the evolution of a sport from something as simple as jumping off high elevations into water. The sport has become one of tremendous athletes conquering great feats in the air that leave spectators breathless. From the summer pool party to the greatest athletes in the world, diving will always be great fun....So goes the history of diving.
