El fluorodiving

par Victor Masmitjà Prieto le 8 avril 2015

Imaginas bucear por la noche y ser capaz de ver la vida marina en colores fluorescentes? Organismos que se escapan a tu vista bajo la luz normal? Pues es posible, con focos y filtros de luz especiales o lentes especiales en máscara, y se llama fluorodiving!

La fluorescencia se produce cuando un objeto absorbe la luz de un solo color (longitud de onda) y luego re-emite luz de un color diferente. ¿Te acuerdas de los carteles de ofertas de las tiendas que presentan fluorescencia bajo luz ultravioleta (UV)?, ¿O de cómo brillan tus dientes, o algunas prendas blancas, bajo la luz azul de la discoteca? Pues esos son dos buenos ejemplos de fluorescencia. ...

The Dive that Never Was

par Shelley Collett le 13 janvier 2014

In a previous post I talked about a dive that I probably shouldn't have done. I did learn from that mistake though, and made wiser choices in the future. Adrenaline junkie though I am, I have learned how to evaluate a situation better and take calculated risks. And while I enjoy and thrive on facing my fears, sometimes the fear wins. And sometimes, that’s okay.During the months after initially getting certified diving and moving through an advanced certification along with some specialties, my dive buddy and I were diving quite a bit in Florida. Springs, caverns, the Keys... we were doing it all during our winter in the Sunshine State. ...

PADI:OW - Open Water Dives

par Paul Smart le 7 septembre 2013

What a fabulous day! So having car issues meant I was up and out the door at 0700hrs this morning and on a bus then train.

Fun times but at the Dive Centre by 0905hrs. Great!

We did a gear check! I was given a weight harness, which I have never used before and it was super! I would love to get one, even at £85! Was very comfortable to wear, especially with 12KG in the belt and 6KG in the BCD.

The BCD (Scubapro T-Force) was brilliant by the way! I mean seriously good! Very comfortable and a pleasure to wear.

I decided to put my Scubapro Regs in for a service today to get rid of the slight leak they have. They may also sort the dry diaphragm too! ...

Input on a month-long dive trip in Sept.

par Sean le 19 novembre 2012

Leaving out of Los Angeles some time in September:

Week 1: YapWeek 2: Palau

Week 3: Australia (GBR / Great Barreer Reef)

Week 4: Christmas Island (CI)

Week 1+2 will be with a dive club (SCDCIE.ORG...unless I find a cheaper rate) but I'd like to extend my trip in the region to include a stop in Australia and hopefully hit Christmas Island (or some other islands in this area...suggestions?) before making my way back home most likely via Hawaii.

I was curious if anyone had any suggestions as to a liveaboard to use in Australia as I've been told by some fellow divers that this is the best route to go versus doing a trip out to the reef every day. ...
