Most of us will be unable to travel to outer space, but we can with readily available training visit the weightless world of inner space beneath the surface of our oceans, lakes and rivers. Unlike outer space that is a lifeless void, the underwater world is a place of overwhelming beauty, prolific in life and inhabited by sea creatures that would make the best science fiction writer proud.

The thrill of diving begins with the certification class that transforms us terrestrial beings into aquanauts and those first breaths taken underwater are never forgotten. Once certified, a whole new world is opened up and the remaining two thirds of the planet earth becomes our watery playground.

A descent onto a tropical coral reef is an amazing experience and divers observe an underseascape that is unrivaled in its beauty. These vibrant, neon hued, living structures are full of life and provide a swirling kaleidoscope of color and motion.

The ocean holds life from the minute to the magnificent and divers are amazed by everything from tiny micro organisms to behemoth pelagic monsters. The wide variety of diving environments and the diversity of marine life make every dive a true inner space trip.
