Clues will be parsed out on this page (down below) at regular intervals throughout the period of this Hunt (June 15 - November 15).
You will have to be Sherlock Holmes to unlock the first couple clues for each prize, but they'll get progressively easier as time goes on (until the Treasure is found). Put your thinking cap on!***

Once you find a Treasure, based on your detective work and searching, you'll turn it into Power Scuba for the prize assigned to it*. Prizes will range from gift cards to scuba equipment... and of course there's the Grand Prize (to be named later).

Let's get loose with a practice round! Some of our clues will be riddles. Try this medium-hard riddle on for size:
First think of the person who lives in disguise,
Who deals in secrets and tells naught but lies.
Next, tell me what’s always the last thing to mend,
The middle of middle and end of the end?
And finally give me the sound often heard
During the search for a hard-to-find word.
Now string them together, and answer me this,
Which creature would you be unwilling to kiss?
ANSWER: A Spider! (Spy - d - er)
