1985 saw the sinking of a Navy hovercraft 100 feet long. The twin aluminum pontoons rise 10 feet from the ocean floor and remain in good shape. Although the hovercraft may be unusual, it would probably not make an excellent feature dive site. It's still fun for swimmers to do laps around this structure and to float up the stairs.

Never hold your breath

As every good entry-level dive student knows, this is the most important rule of scuba. And for good reason — breath holding underwater can result in serious injury and even death. In accordance with Boyle's law, the air in a diver's lungs expands during ascent and contracts during descent.
