| | The "Nameless Goalie" Rule And A Comment On Diving | | 2008-04-25 10:43:48 | | I've got a lot to write about today, so bear with me. The Nameless Goalie Rule I know it's confusing a few people, so I'll try to clarify this blog's rule on mentioning the Avalanche goalie's name during game threads. The purpose of this rule is to avoid jinxing the goalie, which is real and happens all the time. In the initial game thread post, I will avoid using the name, and during the game while the goalie is on the ice (or on the bench for the extra attacker), his name cannot be used. If that goalie is pulled or otherwise out of the lineup, his name can once again be used. You see? Last night, when Jose Theodore was pulled for Peter Budaj, we could once again talk about Theodore because he was out of the game, and Budaj was then off-limits because he was playing. It is almost a certainty that when someone writes "great save by Theo!" in a game thread, or "Budaj has been awesome so far," he will immediately give up three goals on three shots and the Aval | | By: Mile High Hockey | | |
| | Red Sea diving with Olympus E-3 | | 2008-04-19 04:04:00 | | Red Sea scuba diving with Olympus E-3 : The Olympus E3 is the new flagship based on the Four Thirds standard E-System. The Olympus E3 is an extremely advanced camera that can be used for every assignment and fully complies with the strict requirements of DSLR photography. I was given the opportunity to try out this camera underwater. Underwater the circumstances are different than on land and it demands a lot from the camera. The biggest problem is bleaching by the sun. A wide-angle shot of the coral and the sea usually doesn't turn out nice at the spot where the blue water and the lighter area of the surface meet. But the Olympus E-3 is perfectly capable of dealing with large differences between light and dark areas. > Read our Olympus E-3 underwater review.Karin Brussaardmore : letsgodigital | | By: DSLR CAMERAS ONLINE | | |

Darn those newbies, why did they ever sign on to this dive, my dive. They’re keeping me back, I told myself. The diving instructors were working double time just to keep track of them. They’re just too slow for me, I thought. We should have been miles away by now if not for these turtles, exploring the other side of the Tubbataha R | | By: read my mind | | |

| | | Nusa Penida area of diving locations | | 2007-12-07 02:05:00 | | Nusa Penida is an island southeast of Bali island, Indonesia.Administratively, the island is a subdistrict of Klungkung regency. There are two small islands nearby: Nusa Lembongan and Nusa Ceningan. The Badung Strait separates the island and Bali. Diving sites Nusa Penida covers a wide area of diving locations. They are Penida Bay, Manta Point, Batu Meling, Batu Lumbung, Batu Abah,Toyapakeh and Malibu Point. The flow through the Lombok Strait is, overall, south-tending, although the strength and direction of the tidal streams are influenced by the monsoon seasons. During the southeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends south; during the northeast monsoons, the tidal flow tends north. In the area of the strait north of Nusa Penida, the pattern is relatively simple, with a flow, at peaktide, of about three-and-one-half knots.Tidal streams in Badung Strait are semi-diurnal, but the character of the stream is very complicated because its direction runs obliquely to the general south to north direction of Lombok Strait, and the channel has a curved shape.ToyapakehToyapakeh has a stretch of reefs, and in the southern part of the bay there is a similar area of rugged bommies, rich with color and fish. Big schools of fish, sea turtles, and occasionally Mola mola (sunfish) are highlight of Toyapakeh diving. Toyapakeh is special for its pillars of coral.Malibu PointMalibu Point is a diving site with gray reefs, reef white tips, silver-tips and numerous sharks. While Penida Bay is another anchorage, and the rocky islands have an interesting forms; something like an old resting elephant. The bay is vulnerable to swell, creating-up-and-down-currents.

| | The Big Deep : Scuba Diving in Vietnam | | 2007-08-27 02:39:00 | | Once the preserve of playboy adventurers, scuba diving is now one of the planet's fastest-growing and most accessible adventure sports activities. With its beautiful coral reef, spectacular marine life, calm, warm waters and mild conditions, the tropical seas of Southeast Asia attract thousands of divers each year. The waters of Vietnam boast some of the best dive sites in the region and sites in Con Dao and Nha Trang are now emerging as leading diving destinations.Used as a penal colony by the French up until 1975 and one of only two Marine National Parks in the country, Con Dao is a 16 island archipelago situated 180 kilometers off the Southeast coast of Vietnam. Con Dao has largely escaped the exploitation and destructive fishing that have been the fate of other reefs in Vietnam and is now considered to be one of the best examples of marine conservation in the country.With over 1,000 hectares of stunning coral reefs teeming with a colorful array of marine life, Con Dao supports a high level of biodiversity and over 1,300 marine species have been identified so far. Con Dao's sea grass meadows support a small population of globally endangered dugong, there are also resident hawksbill turtles that nest on the islands and even playful dolphins.Nha Trang is another scuba centre in Vietnam, and although big animals are hard to find there (apart from the local morays), the abundance of other marine life makes for fascinating diving. Indeed, Nha Trang is renowned for its vibrant nudibranchs and extensive coral biodiversity, and over 350 species of coral can be found at dive sites there.For advanced divers and beginners alike, Vietnam offers a stunning opportunity to experience the serenity and beauty of the sub-aqua world. | | By: Travel to Vietnam, Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar and Tha | | |
| | Cave diving | | 2007-08-19 07:02:00 | | Cave diving is among the most dangerous and deadly forms of scuba. But as these images show, it is also one of the most rewarding. As you dive in a cave, you are often hundreds or thousands of feet from air, you must use the air you have only (an overhead environment). Also it is typically pitch black, so if your light sources fail you will be lost. Divers also use lines to help keep them from getting lost.When divers use common sense and follow important safety rules, diving these overhead environments can be nearly as safe as diving in open water. However, when divers fail to follow these rules, the results are often tragic. Since 1950, nearly 400 divers have perished in Florida's caverns and caves. The vast majority of these divers had no formal training in cavern or cave diving.In the 1960s and 1970s, cave diving pioneer Sheck Exley conducted a careful study of cave diving fatalities. What he discovered was that, in virtually every instance, the victims' demise could be attri | | By: R2K - All the R thats fit 2K | | |

| | Free Diving | | 2007-05-23 00:48:00 | | Free diving is going deep under water with a single breath. There are many different methods for competition, and as a result there are different record depths. It is certainly most obvious when crazy divers break records, but the majority of free diving is simply for sport, not for competition. In the first video you see a free immersion record, in this the diver must not change his ballast (like drop weight for the return trip) but he can use a line to pull down and up. The song is Vide Cor Meum if you like it. I have it in my youtube favorites if you want to grab it on the quickness. In the middle video, you have a no limits attempt (the most dangerous and imho the least impressive) that nearly results in the death of the diver. In no limits, a heavy sled takes the diver down and then lift bags filled with air return the diver very very quickly on the way back. But as you can see, if the sled fails a diver might be stuck in 75+ meters of water. That is very scary to me, and even | | By: R2K - All the R thats fit 2K | | |
