Because it's Wikipedia, which is ugly.
Our Wiki would be cool and have the Scuba Guide logo on it.

I understand now!
The content doesn't matter.
It's all about cool and logos.

Sorry I was so thick.
I had my priorities wrong.

Right on.

Facetiousness aside we are building a place where scuba knowledge
