Continuing Education: A Diver's Perspective
Edited by Lisa O'Connor
          I recently received the following contribution to the newsletter from a diver who wishes to remain anonymous.  The thoughts and experiences shared in the article are a firm affirmation of a principle of diving that I believe strongly in: We could ALL be better divers.  Each one of us owes it to ourselves and to our fellow divers to keep our skills sharp, our gear in top condition, and to KEEP LEARNING!  So, read on, and enjoy.             <read article>

Dugongs: Mermaids in Danger?
