Scuba Links - These are links that I personally find useful. Occasionally I get requests to add links to various sites, but I decline these unless they will add to the usefulness and quality of this site. I do not wish to dilute this site with links that add no value to the avid wreck explorer. Please note that I do not do link-for-link exchanges (if your site is good enough, I'll put it here regardless).
