Comments from Atlantis Divers:

This really isn’t a scuba related story, but it’s a GREAT special interest story we decided to post. Part of the reason why people dive is that there’s always a new adventure around the corner in a far away place. This certainly strummed that chord when we read this touching story. Enjoy!
