Some, like Alexandria in Egypt, represent some of the most significant archaeological findings in recent history; others are more mysterious in origin. The eerie remains of these 7 submerged cities will reveal their secrets only to those who can swim through their underwater streets in scuba suits.

That's beautiful, Navy!  Do you do the upkeep yourselves....or contract it out?    Because I know they're a lot of work.
