An
extensive A.R.C.H Campaign to prevent reef damage and save endangered
species discourage or prohibit collecting specimens, but the thrill
of underwater exploration is nonetheless present -- and discovering
buried "treasure" is always a possibility. Dive vacation values
can be found at some all-inclusive resorts and in standard hotel
packages priced to include dives and equipment. Resorts large and
small provide (or will arrange) beginning scuba instruction -- a
basic "resort course" -- and, following it, an intensified "Y" course,
combining swimming pool and open water instruction, for PADI certification.
