Guidelines for Dive Site Articles

Just start adding content to the appropriate sections. Don't worry too much about organizing it into sections properly. You don't have to fill out every section either. Just add as much information about the site as you can!

Please respect copyright when adding text and images. Refer to this article; the policies for copyright on Wikipedia generally apply here.

You can cite external sources by using <ref> tags. Just wrap your reference information, such as a hyperlink or book citation, in <ref></ref> tags like this: 

The ocean is deep! <ref>https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ocean</ref>

It will be added to the "References" section on the bottom of the page.
