If you have trouble reading this message, view it in a browser.       The 35 Best Movies Based on True Crimes   From the archetypal Bonnie and Clyde to the American gangster genre, Hollywood has a habit of capitalizing on the rich narratives of true crimes. Despite the natural thrill of tagging along with any vigilante thief or vengeance-fueled investigator, there's an undeniable feeling of extra adrenaline and fascination that comes from knowing such reckless and rare instances really happened. Or, at least are based on what really happened.

The reality is that any serious diver these days would not strap on a scuba tank without also strapping on the kind of digital dive computers—from the likes of Suunto or Cressi—that will convey a hundred more vital things about your dive than simply what time it is.
