Scuba Polls Landing Page Description

If you want to share your opinion and weigh in on scuba diving issues, Just Gotta Dive’s scuba poll page is a great place to do it. We – and your fellow members – want to know what you think about hot issues that concern divers or have to do with scuba diving. How do you feel about spearfishing? Should all scuba divers be required to carry redundant air systems? How do you feel about commercial whaling? Should it be allowed at all? These are just a few of the scuba polls we’ve got available; answering a dive survey takes just a few seconds, and you can weigh in on any issue that interests you.
