I can barely feel my lips

par Phil le 29 avril 2013

I've been diving for around 4 years and I've logged hundreds of dives. I work part time as a Divemaster in Iowa. Iowa diving does not offer what people would consider 'warm water diving.' Warm water in the Midwest means around 70 degrees Fahrenheit maximum! On average when certifying students the water is between 45 and 70 degrees which requires two piece 7mm suits most of the season (I can only imagine the pain of those divers up north in Canada!)While a two piece 7mm suit will keep you fairly warm, one thing that is hard to keep warm is your lips.

Subsurface 2013 Underwater Photo Contest

Support Coralbot on Kickstarter

We first heard about the Coralbot about a year ago. Imagined by a team of scientists from the Heriot-Watt university, the projects leverages on research on swarm intelligence to provide an innovative solution to restore the function of reefs, both shallow and deep across the globe. They just launched a kickstarter project to raise 107 000$ to build prototypes to demonstrate their approach.

Coral-bots are a team of robots that intelligently navigate across a damaged coral reef, transplanting pieces of healthy corals along the way. The big job of developing and testing the robots at sea has already been done. All that remains is to embed the robots with computer vision to “see” healthy bits...
