Diving In Pop Culture

Diving in Pop Culture is the newest featured exhibit at the History of Diving Museum in Islamorada, Florida. Starting in April through December 2021, visit the Museum to see representations of diving in literature, advertising, film, television, games, music, attractions, collectibles, and more, while examining connections amongst these works. From Reap the Wild Wind to Wes Anderson’s homage to Jacques Cousteau in Life Aquatic, there is something for everyone in this fun new exhibit.

Artifacts on display include a scuba regulator with a Star Wars backstory, Van Halen’s 1982 record Diver Down, and a variety of gear and equipment seen in films and television shows like Sea Hunt, Jaws, and Men of Honor. Also showcased are vintage advertisements, magazine spreads, and other materials from the Museum’s robust archival collection.
