Dive Computers

Nowadays, Dive Computer is to Dive Tables as Abacus is to Scientific Calculator. ScubaDiving.com has a nice article for newbies on dive computers, features that are optional, and features that should are (or should be) absolutely required. Check it out here, check-it-outers.

Greenland Sharks in the St. Lawrence

Amazing video at this site of the Greenland Shark. Very cool, and more than a little bit scary considering how big these carnivores can get.

Money quote:
Their stomachs contained the remains of fish and mammals such as seals, deer, horses and bears. [An] entire reindeer, minus its antlers, was found in the stomach contents of [one].


Hey there beautiful, swim here often?
