We have created the Coral Heads community forum in the traditional directory format. Going deeper with topics and threads than today's more modern forums. By using multiple levels of forums, sub-forums, topics, and threads I hope to achieve a faster directory style search over just a keyword based search. This allows me and others that see the world as I do, the ability to explore the site faster when we have a general idea of what we are looking for.
See you on the water,

Submarines and Submersibles

Submarines and Submersibles - A submersible is a small watercraft designed to operate underwater. The term submersible is often used to differentiate from other underwater vessels known as submarines, in that a submarine is a fully autonomous craft, capable of renewing its own power and breathing air, whereas a submersible is usually supported by a surface vessel, platform, shore team or sometimes a larger submarine. In common usage by the general public, however, the word submarine may be used to describe a craft that is by the technical definition actually a submersible.
