Shipwrecks contain a certain mystery that draws Scuba Divers from near and far. Whether diving in Asia, the Caribbean, Europe, North America or Africa, shipwrecks continue to be big draws for local tourism.

The images in this gallery are from a number of wrecks including, the USS Kittwake, Doc Poulson, the Oro Verde and the Carthaginian II in Hawaii.

Scuba diving and underwater photography go hand in hand whether you are in the beautiful Cayman Islands, Hawaiian Islands, the Red Sea or the coast of California.

What are Coral Reefs? Coral colonies are composed of many tiny, cup-shaped animals called polyps, which are related to jellyfish. A single coral polyp may be as large as a saucer or smaller than the head of a pin. Millions of polyps working together in a cooperative colony generation after generation create the limestone skeletons that form the framework of the beautiful coral reef. Corals begin life in tropical waters as free-floating larvae. After a relatively short period of time, the larva eventually attaches itself to a hard surface and becomes a polyp. Polyps divide asexually and form colonies. Coral colonies reproduce both sexually and asexually. In sexual reproduction, the coral polyps release both eggs and sperm into the water. (This is also known as coral spawning.) One type of asexual reproduction occurs when fragments of coral are broken off as a result of storm action. The broken pieces of corals usually survive and continue to grow and produce a new colony. This process is referred to as "fragmentation".
