R S . D U Coast Guard Auxiliary Reports Underwater A U Y X I L I A R By Carolyn Brown Treadon By Gregg Stanton Wakulla Professional Diving As a species, we humans relate to the underwater world in several ways. For the vast majority, this inhospitable realm is full of mystical creatures, darkness and fear, and best avoided. Water for these folks is best consumed at the dinner table, traversed by boat and virtually observed on the fl at screen. Then there are those who embrace the underwater world as a recreation. In search of adventure, these in- trepid souls learn to breathe from machines that enable them to submerge into the liquid world and become a creature, however briefl y, of the aquatic realm. Most simply observe, others become gatherers, spearing fi sh, collecting scallops, capturing specimens for their aquariums. They do more than drink the water, they play underwater. A fraction of these people become professionals in a wide number of careers that can apply their trade underwater. Diving becomes a way to reach their job. The term professional diver is applied to anyone who earns a living while working underwater. Most of you may immediately think of commercial diving in the oil fi elds of the Gulf, and you would be correct, but the term is not exclusive to that career. Com- mercial divers can make a lot of money and do live a challenging, exciting life. The other well known diving career is military diving, available through all the branches of the services, and SPECIAL TO THE NEWS mostly taught at one facility in Panama City.
