In January, we introduced you to a new online feature showcasing America's National Parks. When most people think about our parks they envision snow-covered mountain ranges, open plains and historic buildings. But there is a wealth of dive sites within those national treasures that few people ever discover — many of them right in your backyard. Check out this month's Where in the National Parks Are You? quiz to test your knowledge of the park's offerings. Then book a weekend trip to discover them for yourself.
Clue # 1
This National Park contains seven small inlands, or keys, that were first discovered in 1513 by Ponce de Leon.
Clue # 2
The park encompasses more than 64,000 acres of water, yet only 39 acres of land. And it is known for its abundance of turtles although there is very little fresh water.

Few sports are as equipment-intensive as scuba diving. Your gear ensemble – regulator, tank, BC and dive computer, plus a mask, fins and exposure suit –ensures your survival while making you comfortable at depth. But beyond these important equipment basics you can fill a dive bag full of other interesting gear designed to make your diving easier, increase your safety margin, or simply ramp up your fun quotient when you head underwater. So check out ScubaLab's accessory review here, and round out your kit before the warm weather hits.
