Scuba diving is an increasingly popular recreational and tourist pastime. Diving enthusiasts are recognized for their dedication to the sport and willingness to both travel to and spend money on new and unique experiences. Subsequently dive tourism has become a multibillion dollar industry. In turn, many coastal (and other diveable) destinations are investing in the development of local dive sites. However, many popular dive attractions such as naturally occurring coral reefs and historic wrecks are fragile, easily damaged, and/or adversely impacted by visitors. Artificial reefs, or structures purposely sunk to create habitats for marine life and infrastructure for unique diving experiences (often stripped-down large scale pieces of machinery), can draw tourists away from fragile natural ecosystems. Ideally, artificial reefs could also be utilized as underwater cultural heritage management tools similarly drawing visitors away from aging, delicate historic wrecks. However, little is known about wreck divers and/or the wreck diving experience. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the specific aspects of the popular purposely scuttled wreck, the USS Spiegel Grove (off the coast of Key Largo) that contributed to visitors’ dive experiences. A total of 100 TripAdvisor reviews about the Spiegel Grove were collected and analyzed as data. The majority of reviews were positive and revealed that the size of the ship, the challenge of the dive, the ability to penetrate the ship, the chance to check the dive off a bucket list, and the opportunity to see marine life contributed to divers’ experiences. Historic ties were surprisingly of little importance. Although more research is needed, these findings should help destinations to better plan for and design artificial reefs aimed at attracting wreck divers.
水肺潜水是一种越来越受欢迎的娱乐和旅游消遣。潜水爱好者因其对这项运动的奉献精神和愿意旅行和花钱获得新的独特体验而受到认可。随后,潜水旅游成为了一个价值数十亿美元的产业。反过来,许多沿海(和其他可潜水的)目的地也在投资开发当地的潜水点。然而,许多受欢迎的潜水景点,如自然形成的珊瑚礁和历史沉船,都很脆弱,容易损坏,和/或受到游客的不利影响。人工珊瑚礁,或故意为海洋生物创造栖息地的结构,以及独特潜水体验的基础设施(通常是大型机械部件),可以吸引游客远离脆弱的自然生态系统。理想情况下,人工珊瑚礁也可以用作水下文化遗产管理工具,同样可以吸引游客远离老化、脆弱的历史沉船。然而,人们对沉船潜水员和/或沉船潜水经验知之甚少。因此,本研究的目的是研究受欢迎的故意凿沉的沉船,USS Spiegel Grove (Key Largo海岸外)对游客潜水体验的具体方面。我们收集并分析了TripAdvisor上关于Spiegel Grove酒店的100条评论作为数据。大多数评论都是积极的,并透露了船的大小,潜水的挑战,穿透船的能力,检查潜水清单的机会,以及看到海洋生物的机会都有助于潜水员的体验。令人惊讶的是,历史关系并不重要。虽然需要更多的研究,但这些发现应该有助于目的地更好地规划和设计旨在吸引沉船潜水员的人工珊瑚礁。

Water safety for international students is an issue shared by many nations, especially with the globalization of education (United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization [UNESCO], 2018). In 2016, for example, there were over 4.8 million international students globally, up from 2 million in 2000. More than half of these students were enrolled in educational programs in six countries: the US, the UK, Australia, France, Germany, and the Russian Federation. Prominent sending countries of international students include China, India, Germany, South Korea, Nigeria, France, Saudi Arabia, and several Central Asian countries (Migration Data Portal, 2018).

In-water shark-based tourism is growing worldwide and whale sharks (Rhincodon typus) are one of the most popular targets of this industry. It is important to monitor tourism industries to minimize any potential impacts on target species. At Ningaloo, Western Australia, Electronic Monitoring Systems (EMS) have been installed on licensed tour vessels to collect information on encounters between snorkelers and whale sharks. This study combined data from the EMS with whale shark identification photographs, to assess the impact of in-water tourism on the encounter duration for individual sharks. During 2011 and 2012, 948 encounters with 229 individual sharks were recorded using EMS. Encounter durations between whale sharks and tourism vessels ranged between 1 and 59 min (mean = 11 min 42 s, SD = ±11 min 19 s). We found no evidence for a decline in encounter duration after repeated tourist encounters with individual sharks. Encounter duration varied among tourism operator vessels and were shorter when the sex of the whale shark could not be identified. Given that individual sharks were swum with on average 2.4 times per day (±SD 2.08), and up to 16 times over the course of the study, our results suggest that there is no evidence of long-term impacts of tourism on the whale sharks at Ningaloo. However, the inclusion of well-defined categories of whale shark behaviors and information regarding how interactions between tourists and whale sharks end will complement the data already collected by the EMS. This preliminary investigation demonstrates the potential for the EMS as a data resource to better understand and monitor the impacts of tourism interactions on whale sharks.
