The Dive

"The Dive" is a location featured in the Maranatha stories by Alex "Osfer" Vance.

"The Dive" is a popular club among the less prosperous, located in one of Maranatha City's many mostly-abandoned urban districts. Its entrance is a misted, brightly-lit passageway. Its interior varies in configuration each night, but always features one or more large, cylindrical tanks surrounded by circular bars. Tank boys swim in the tanks' murky water, sharing numerous floating breathing apparati and providing entertainment for the patrons.

Althought "The Dive" is primarily gay-oriented, the dearth in exciting clubs in Maranatha has led it to open its doors to heterosexuals as well. However, until now the sex trade operating there, which the management turns a blind eye to, has been exclusively homosexual. Best-known among the hustlers that work there is Owen Zelazny, who sometimes works as a tank boy or waiter.

Recently, "The Dive" has become a base of operations for Sharpish, a local up-and-coming crime lord.
