INTRODUCTION - ROB PALMER
A love for adventure, the thirst for seeking out answers from the unknown and that elusive quest for discovering a more perfect beauty than seen before. These have lured hungry minds throughout the centuries - forever yearning as they probe and extend the frontiers of the ‘known’ world.
Mermaids: imaginary physical
mammals or the living spirits of the seas? The diver holds a high place amongst
those who carry the torch of the pioneering spirit. On the surface it may be
the desire of riches or the pursuit of a trade which draws a diver down. Once
underwater it is the seeking out of the Unknown and the Undiscovered, both of
this world and of him or herself, which calls with the loudest voice.
The story of diving is as old as the seas themselves. As you sit back we aim
to shine a light on some of the watershed achievements which have contributed
to the development of newer and ever more efficient ways for human beings to
move through water of continually increasing depths.
