Scuba Maven — Sun, 20 May 2012 09:31:39 +0000

www.simplyscuba.com Thanks to its new design and innovative technical solutions, X-Vision offers a truly unprecedented field of vision. The central position of the eyes and the optimally angled windows provide the widest possible viewing angle in every direction. The mask is exceptionally light weight at just 190g, making it easy to transport and much more comfortable on your face. The ergonomic quick-adjusting buckles, positioned directly on the skirt, afford superior comfort and hydrodynamics during the dive, as well as improving the adherence of the skirt to the face. In addition, this technical solution makes it easier to store the mask inside a pocket of the BC.

The Fairy Fish: Tinkers Butterfly Fish with Whale Songs in the Background, Doreen Virtue

Scuba Maven — Tue, 15 May 2012 09:46:22 +0000

In the background of this video you’ll hear mother and baby whales singing to each other, as this video was made during Kona whale season. You’ll also hear Doreen breathing through her scuba equipment (she’s a divemaster, and she dives very safely and conservatively). Tinkers Butterfly Fish are among Doreen’s favorite to see when she scuba dives. She took this video recently and thought you’d enjoy meeting the rare and friendly Fairy Fish (called this because their names sound like Tinkerbell the Fairy). PLEASE, please, please don’t buy these fish for aquariums — they belong wild and free in the ocean!!!

SCUBABILITY

Scuba Maven — Wed, 25 Apr 2012 10:18:28 +0000

On September 6th 2010 John J2 Mryczko together with his two good friends Mike and Pete drove down to Kankakee Illinois where they went to the Haigh Quarry, a man made sort of lake filled with fish, sunken boats, artifacts, and even a army truck. J2 met Jim Elliott there who is the president of “Diveheart” a nonprofit organization that helps and assists people with disabilities experience the underwater world with SCUBA. After a short explanation of the SCUBA equipment given by Jim J2 and his friends geared up and headed to the water. The weather was beautiful and the water was at a great temperature. After getting into the water everyone was taught on how to use the equipment, breath properly, and how to clear and reinsert the regulator underwater in case of it accidently coming out. After about 15 minutes everyone descended under the water and explored the beginner section of the Haigh Quarry. They swam along several different types of fish and saw several underwater artifacts. After being under water for 35 minutes and reaching a depth of 25 feet they all came back up to the surface together. Overall J2 and his friends had a great time and have plans to SCUBA many more times and even get certified. There are also plans for J2 to go dive in Cozumel Mexico next spring with Diveheart.

Manta Rays Captured by WWF-Malaysia Staff

Scuba Maven — Fri, 20 Apr 2012 10:34:44 +0000

Species: Manta birostris Common name: Manta ray Place: Manta Parade, Sangalaki Island, East Kalimanta, Indonesia Date: 24 January 2012 “We could see the mantas from the boat as they were practically swimming underneath, and sometimes breaking the water surface with their wings. From our experience the day before, going into the water with our scuba equipment minimised our interactions because they didn’t seem too happy with the bubbles from the divers’ regulators. So on the 2nd day, we decided to just snorkel on the water surface without our scuba equipment. Within seconds, we were snorkelling at eye level with around 7 to 8 manta rays, which was an experience that would be hard to surpass.” Quote from Rahayu Zulkifli, Team Leader for Terengganu Turtles and Terrapins Conservation.
