The NOAA National Marine Sanctuary Program has developed a colorful new printed guide and Web page for scuba diving enthusiasts about diving in our nation’s 13 national marine sanctuaries, home to some of America’s most spectacular underwater sights.
…
The new diving guide, introduced at the Diving Equipment and Marketing Association’s annual show in Orlando, Fla., describes the wonderful world beneath the sea at each of the national marine sanctuaries, from the shipwrecks and nutrient-rich waters of Stellwagen Bank off Massachusetts to the pristine coral reefs of Fagatele Bay in American Samoa. The brochure also offers tips on how to be a safer, more responsible diver by mastering buoyancy control, respecting marine wildlife, and how to volunteer for habitat monitoring activities in your local marine sanctuary.
Available in PDF format at http://sanctuaries.noaa.gov/visit/diving.html, the new guide can be downloaded and customized for use by dive operators and tourism companies to give their customers.
