I started this site way back in 1996 for my new hobby. In all that time, I gladly carried the annual cost of hosting and domain name. But it's time to admit that my diving years are over, and my interest has waned.

I have kept the site up as a service to the diving community, but I don't know how much longer that makes sense.

If you would like to make a small donation to help defray that cost, it would be greatly appreciated, and help to keep the site online.
