However the divers were not close in age in real life ( four years apart ) and did not compete.

A piece of a carpometacarpus supposedly from Oligocene rocks near Lusk, Wyoming was described as Gaviella pusilla, but this handbone also shows some similarities to the plotopterids which were flightless wing-propelled divers and if these are apomorphic would make an unconvincing member of the Gaviidae ( though it still could be a small-winged gaviiform in an – as of yet undescribed – family " Gaviellidae "): while the carpometacarpus in Gavia is somewhat convergent to that of wing-propelled divers, enabling the wings to be used as rudders for quick underwater turns, Colymboides still had an unspecialized plesiomorphic hand.

Later most recreational divers were free-swimming scuba divers, with bottom-walkers virtually restricted to those doing commercial work.

The Holarctic has four endemic families: divers ( Gaviidae ), grouse ( Tetraoninae ), auks ( Alcidae ), and the waxwings ( Bombycillidae ).

As with archaeology on land, some techniques are essentially manual, using simple equipment ( generally relying on the efforts of one or more scuba divers ), while others use advanced technology and more complex logistics ( for example requiring a large support vessel, with equipment handling cranes, underwater communication and computer visualisation ).

** The Communist Bloc falls and the Cold War ends ( see Fall of Communism and dissolution of the Soviet Union ), and with it the risk of future attack by Communist Bloc forces including by their combat divers.

Accordingly, the radical and influential Sibley-Ahlquist taxonomy greatly enlarged the Ciconiiformes, adding many more families, including most of those usually regarded as belonging to the Sphenisciformes ( penguins ), Gaviiformes ( divers ), Podicipediformes ( grebes ), Procellariiformes ( tube-nosed seabirds ), Charadriiformes, ( waders, gulls, terns and auks ), Pelecaniformes ( pelicans, cormorants, gannets and allies ), and the Falconiformes ( diurnal birds of prey ).

Plunge diving allows birds to use the energy from the momentum of the dive to combat natural buoyancy ( caused by air trapped in plumage ), and thus uses less energy than the dedicated pursuit divers, allowing them to utilise more widely distributed food resources, for example, in impoverished tropical seas.

The Holarctic has four other endemic bird families: the divers or loons ( Gaviidae ), grouse ( Tetraoninae ), auks ( Alcidae ), and waxwings ( Bombycillidae ).

Australia has many spectacular water filled caves and sinkholes, but unlike the UK, most Australian cave divers come from a general ocean-diving background.

Equipment used varies widely in this field, but surface supplied equipment though quite uncommon in the UK is growing in popularity in the U. S. The short number of dives made by scientific divers in normally quite shallow water, and the UK governmental regulations that make surface supplied equipment cumbersome, when combined with a need for easy transportation make surface supplied gear uneconomic and undesirable for UK scientists to use.

In the UK, diving schools work towards a standard HSE approved qualification, whilst divers who have trained overseas may find their existing qualifications meet the necessary HSE standards, if not, additional training may be required.
