Collecting and creatin For seniors Mike and Steve Ungs, the water is the final frontier. They enjoy scuba diving as their pastime. Not only do they believe that it is relaxing, but the exploration of the un- known is a challenge in itself. Because of the price of diving gear, the Ungs brothers rent most of their equipment and sometimes profit when a recovery job is necessary. The brothers have some not so wild ideas about underwater living. It is already possible, theoretically, says Mike. It's a whole different world underwater. If you can imagine feeling weightless in a graceful, silent environment, you have a good idea of why diving is such a fulfilling hobby.
