I wrapped the night at the Destin\u2013Fort Walton Beach event, learning about the SS United States project, and hearing Larry speak about Reef Balls and Eternal Reefs\u2014fascinating and so important for our oceans.

While some divers may chase sharks with ease, others might find courage in simply getting back in the water. As\u00a0Niver\u00a0says:<\/p>\n<p>\u201cBravery is the willingness to keep going when the outcome is not guaranteed.
