A Note to the General Reader
First of all, we would like to thank you for visiting our project. This entry aims not only at acquainting the general reader with diving, but also at provoking interest in this challenging sports activity. The team has attempted to introduce diving to the public and, at the same time, to provide an in-depth look with special emphasis on the various aspects of this sport. Starting from the history of diving, covering virtually all kinds of diving procedures, and adding a scientific viewpoint, the project is tailored to any Internet user. Although the project has no particular bias to specific audience, it is especially suitable for classroom lessons, for students who wish to broaden their knowledge on the subject and browse through interesting facts and details. Other educational objectives are to provoke discussions and to draw public attention towards this sport. Our goal is to get people involved in the topic. We have done our best in order to present the subject matter in a comprehensible style so that more people will be able to explore the wonderful new world of diving. We hope that we have succeeded in creating a valuable entry.
