Nagiewicz hosts one of two Web sites that serve as excellent portals to the thousands of wrecks that lie beneath the waves. Njscuba.com and njscuba.net share Cousteau-like photographs and maps and a treasure chest of information about maritime history and marine life of interest even to those who never plan to dip a toe in the surf.
