John, ifeel for you. I dove off Sebastian Florida for 15 years on the 1715 treasure fleet. We found a little, have had great friendships, bad and good weather, and ate a lot of cheap food. I'v never been to the DR but would love to dive the caves and do some treasure diving. Loved your story. Good luck.

Nice article. Having hundreds and hundreds of shallow treasure diving dives in rough surf I can empathize with the author. It seems that after you become proficient diving we all look for something to do beside look at fish. Some go into teaching, some to photography, others to salvage or cave diving. But in my opinion treasure hunting is one of the best underwater tasks a diver can have. "It's a pirate’s life for me!"

I picked up the Wreck Diving magazine last week and fell in love with the idea of diving again. I don't have a boat or gear yet, but, dang, what fun dreaming. This site is great motivation. Great article.
