Deep Diving: How Deep is Deep?

There’s always a fascination and illusion that Scuba diving means to dive deep. The belief doing rounds is that there’s better stuff to see, but this in fact is one of the most common mistakes of many new divers, as we’ve seen in Myth Buster: More Scuba Diving Misconceptions Dispelled.Recreational Scuba divers breath compressed air [...] [ This is an external blog.

Assessing Your Fitness to Dive

Diving normally doesn’t take a lot of energy or physical exhertion, however there are times when you may need to swim through strong currents, dive in very cold water or assist another diver. When those situations arise, you need to be sure that your level of fitness will meet the demands of the situation. A recent research study conducted by DAN showed that 26 percent of all diving fatalities over a 10-year period were caused by cardiac events. In a separate study, 48 percent of the divers who died over a three year period were found to have a body mass index (BMI) greater than 30. If you didn’t know, a healthy BMI is between 19 and 24….so 30 places a person in the obese range. [ This is an external blog. Read complete blog here... ]…

Finally…

As I list past posts I will also include brief articles on some of the new people that I met on the trip… Lemon Shark – Photo by Felix Leander “Nov. 17, 2009 All of last week was completely shot – current and visibility made for a dry week – the dive operator said that has never happened before. I must admit that the people took it really well considering that some came from Europe. So today was the first day with a new group of people – four stayed from the week before – and yes, the visibility and conditions were finally good. We had plenty of lemon sharks and two tiger sharks of which one was a juvenile. It is always a treat to see these magnificent animals, and according to the captain conditions from here on should only improve, which is a good thing. Last week I gained about 5lbs – ate a lot and moved very little, have made up for it today, freedove for 5 hours and going to watch what I eat for the rest of this week.”

Oceans Absorb Less Carbon Dioxide as Marine Systems Change

The oceans are by far the largest carbon sink in the world. Some 93 percent of carbon dioxide is stored in algae, vegetation, and coral under the sea. But oceans are not able to absorb all of the carbon dioxide released from the burning of fossil fuels. In fact, a recent study suggests that the oceans have absorbed nearly 10 percent less fossil-fuel emissions since 2000. The study, published in the current issue of Nature, is the first to quantify the perceived trend that oceans are becoming less efficient carbon sinks.
