DEERFIELD BEACH, Fla. — Jerry Gunderson started diving for golf balls in 1953, when he was 19. On Saturday, during a dive, he lost his life. He was 75.
"I don’t know why he did it; it’s high risk, but he just loved it," said his wife, Judith Gunderson. "He always said that’s the way he would go."

Blue Hole - The True Story.
Blue Hole is a diving location on east Sinai, a few Kilometers north of Dahab, Egypt on the coast of the Red Sea. I have read and hear a lot about this divers paradise. The area has a rich and unique marine life and reef. Diving in a 26 meters tunnel until you see the light again. Unfortunately many divers died trying to reach the tunnel.

A Message For New Divers. ( Before you make your 1st bobble)
New scuba divers often have difficulty deciding on which diving school choose given the amount on offer. Price should not be a deciding factor. You need to take into consideration:
- What facilities the school has to offer?
- What experience does the school and its instructors have?
- What level of scuba diving can the school take you to?
