Some news briefs from the November 1985 Underwater USA:

	This month's editorial urges all divers to obtain CPR certifications.
	"Information on how to obtain certification in your area is available
	at your local Red Cross or Heart Association office."
    ----

	The Divers' Alert Network (DAN) has increased annual membership fees,
	effective August 1, 1985.  U.S. addresses will pay $15, up from $10.
	Non-U.S. residents will pay $20 per year.  Renewals will remain at $10.
	----

	The Dolphin Research Center, of Grassy Key, Fla., is now accepting groups
	of students or other interested individuals for dolphin "encounters".
	Participants will have the opportunity to feed, train, and observe the
	behavior of the 20 resident dolphins and three sea lions.  Evening seminars
	on husbandry, behavior, communications, biology, ecology, and conservation
	of dolphins and other cetaceans will be held in conjunction with the
	program.  High school and college credit can be arranged.  Mailing address:

		DolphinLab
		P.O. Box Dolphin

	----

	Epcot Center's "Living Seas" exhibit is expected to premier in mid-January,
	1986.  The article indicates that "Living Seas" will feature a coral reef
	exhibit, miscellaneous "rare" artifacts, and (initially) more than 2,000
	critters, including sharks, barracuda, and rays.

I heartilly concur -- even if you AREN'T a diver.  You  never know when a
few hours of your time can save a life.  My mother-in-law is alive today
because of CPR training my father-in-law took four years ago.  He was rusty
(we lazy ones REALLY need to keep up our certification) -- but, as the
doctor said, he passed his practical.  I shudder to think of the consequences
had he NOT known CPR.  So, if you haven't got your certification -- DO IT!!!
The life you might save is worth the investment.
