Explorer vs Adventurer
The Oxford Concise English Dictionary quotes: "Explorer: a traveller into undiscovered or investigated territory" - "Adventurer: a person who seeks adventure especially for personal gain or enjoyment".

World Record Wreck Attempt
The record attempt will be made by Rob LaLumiere to 250M on the Japanese warship Shimamkaze in Ormoc Bay and will be supported by Triton.
Matt Reed of Triton Oceanic is the Dive Director and Members of Triton Oceanic will act as support during the dive. With actual individual roles still to be finalised, this will mean anything from diving to 100m to be the first person to meet Rob on his return, to helping him out at 3m as he completes the final part of his almost 9hr dive.

Princess of the Orient
Sept 19th 1998. Tropical Storm Vicki was beating the northern Philippines with 45 mph (75 km/h) winds when the Princess of the Orient left Manila at 8 p.m. bound for Cebu, about a day's journey to the south.
A storm warning prohibited ships of less than 500 tons from sailing, however this did not apply to the huge 13,734 ton ferry. Four hours later she was reported listing, a state from which she was unable to recover.
