can also be opened by request . The concept of the museum is to be of
interest not only to divers but to young people interested in learning to
dive. There are numerous other exibits from around the world including a
Ludvig von Bremen helmet and a Schrader helmet. There are also various
artifacts recovered from the sea bed and exibits to teach about
environmental preservation topics.
