A Neat Idea

I added navigation structures to the end of every page. If you read all the way to the end of a long page ** you'll find all your navigation options waiting for you at the bottom. So you don't have to scroll all the way back to the top, although you always could do that with just one click.

The structure at the bottom is the most complete navigation 'node' of any; it makes use of all the screen space available in the main area. You can use it to pick your way from one page to the next through entire sections of the website, if you are so inclined.

I have about 3/4 of all the pages/subjects loaded into the new website, with the Dive Sites, Artificial Reefs, and Artifacts sections finished. I've slowed down a lot, but I'll get to the end eventually, and then this site will take over from the old one. This is so much easier to maintain than the old static PHP.

** Do people still read? Or just watch videos?


M60 tanks reef
M60 tanks undergo a thorough cleaning before use as reefs

The Artificial Reef Program used four types of obsolete Army armored vehicles as artificial reef materials off the New Jersey coast. These were cleaned at local military bases, loaded onto barges for transport, and pushed off at their final destination. Once the Army had disposed of its excess inventory, the program ceased, around 1999. The Artificial Reef Program has sunk almost 400 tanks altogether, far too many to list them here in this website.
