Other interesting Scuba sites:
Divers Alert Network (DAN)
The dive safety organization's site provides basic information on membership benefits and how to contact DAN. There is, however, an FAQ (frequently asked questions) page where you can find answers to basic medical questions related to diving.

For divers interested in shipwrecks and their excavation, this site is an indispensable resource. Links to university departments and institutes dedicated to underwater archaeology, museums, maritime history publications and other tools for the working underwater archaeologist are provided.
