Fall appears to be the season for surveys and lists that mention diving:

Sportingo, a popular sporting website recently listed the 10 most dangerous sports based on accident reports.  Sports making the list include: Cave Diving, Rugby and Cheerleading!

The London Times listed the ten best dive sites in the UK.  The number one destination?  The World War One shipwrecks of Scotland’s Scapa Flow.  Cheapflights.co.uk has named Egypt’s Sharm El Sheikh. The other sites listed include the Great Barrier Reef, Cuba, Maldives, Belize, Turks and Caicos, Maui in Hawaii, Malaysian Borneo, and St Croix in the US Virgin Islands.

And the records continue....

Wrapping up the old year and looking forward to new records in 2008 for underwater firsts!

Ho Hum. Another month, another underwater world record.

The ongoing chronicles of underwater feats ranging from the impressive to the dubious. The rush to establish new underwater records has subsided, at least temporarily, as winter approaches in the Northern Hemisphere. However, there were a number of subsurface records set in the fall of 2007.

Some dubious, others for charity: Underwater World Records set in the Summer of '07

Think of something that can be done underwater and someone will set a record doing it … or die trying. Diver Magazine notes some new scuba records.
