OCEANS
 See Disneynature's new movie
opening on Earth Day
Disneynature, the studio that brought us the film "Earth", brings OCEANS to the big screen on Earth Day, April 22, 2010. Nearly three-quarters of the Earth's surface is covered by water and OCEANS boldly chronicles the mysteries that live beneath.
By seeing OCEANS during opening week, moviegoers can Make a Wave and make a meaningful difference. Disneynature will make a donation for every moviegoer to help establish new marine protected areas in The Bahamas with The Nature Conservancy.

Reef Fish and Creature Identification
 Have you ever surfaced from a dive and asked your buddy "What kind of fish was that black and orange one you pointed out?". Or been asked if you saw the toad fish, when you have no idea what a toad fish looks like? Then this is your opportunity to learn a bit more about the fish and creatures we visit on every dive.
Designed to expand your knowledge of the fish and creatures you may see throughout the Caribbean and Pacific, this night of photographs and stories will get you prepped for your next dive adventure! This is not a certification class, but the information can be applied towards the Fish ID Specialty.

Equipment Tip of the month
Coming off of cold season in our neck of the woods, I am reminded of one of the biggest concerns we have while diving - our ears. A malfunctioning regulator or BCD can be replaced, but once your ears go south, your dives are done.
Accorinding to Divers Alert Network, 65% of scuba divers suffer from ear problems which keep them away from the sport. Preventative care post dive is the key with our ears.
The most common cure is some sort of ear drop, like Swimmers Ear. Being diligint with this after every dive is the key. Sahara's Dry Ear is another option, basically like taking a small blow dryer to your ears.
A very effective method for protecting your ears is by keeping the water out to begin with. Doc's Vented ProPlugs are a great invention that seal the outer ear, keeping water out completely. When fitted properly, these even help divers equalize and reduce ear squeeze.
All the best scuba equipment in the world won't help once our ears get infected. This is one of those times when an ounce of cure really does provide immeasurable benefit. |
