4 Easy Ways To Share Your Passion For SCUBA Diving!

by SKuba Steve on November 25, 2014

Diving is cool… not just a little bit cool… it’s REALLY cool! Having dive experience and being a part of the SCUBA community makes each of us a member of a fortunate group. The great news is that this group is always looking for new members and as ambassadors of the SCUBA community (aka – SCUBAvangelists) we enjoy drawing people into the sport, either vicariously through our own dive stories or quite literally by introducing them to diving for themselves.

Here are 4 ways you can share your SCUBA! Dive In to the Under Pressure Dive Blog for more!

by SKuba Steve on April 18, 2014

In Cnidariapocolypse II – 2Narced/2N… well 2Narced! our daring divers averted disaster for themselves but the threat to civilization lingered.

Somewhere… in the deep dark abyss… was… the monster…

…or was there?

Cnidariapocolypse II – 2Narced/2… well 2Narced!

by SKuba Steve on April 16, 2014

In the last exciting episode of Cnidariapocolypse our intrepid divers were confronting both the great cnidarian leviathan and the ‘rapture of the deep’.

…and let’s face it things were not looking good…

You may have been there yourself at some point; found yourself mid-dive with a buddy that just wasn’t quite all there (assuming they were normally there in the first place – divers can be a silly lot).

Problem solving underwater is a key element to safe and enjoyable diving and this is how Doug and I kept things together and survived the Cnidariapocolypse.

Cnidariapocolypse – N2 Narcosis Saves the World – Sort Of

by SKuba Steve on April 15, 2014

It happened over the course of just a few seconds. Seconds though that stretched to what felt like strands of never ending salt water taffy, long and sticky.My dive buddy and I were coming up from a great SCUBA dive on a reef in Bonaire. At around 43' I looked up to see a wonder. The sun was shining down through the last atmosphere and a half of our dive and those rays reflected through the fragile bell of a jelly fish. The light shone through in such a way that it seemed the creature was lit from within.

At the time I didn't carry a camera (think... pre GoPro... or PG as I'm fairly confident we'll refer to any date prior to the 2010 release of the GoPro Hero HD system. Just sayin'.) and...

Instant slushies and coldwater free flows

by Chris W on June 30, 2013

This morning as I was quickly clicking through my feed of links to articles, videos and blogs automatically scraped from the web for me I came across this gem of wisdom on the LifeHacker website : http://lifehacker.com/turn-soda-into-a-slushie-with-no-special-equipment-615649907

The video demonstrates how cooling carbonated drinks while sealed in their containers to near to their freezing point, then releasing the pressure turns the still liquid contents into instant frozen slush.Firstly - Thats really cool! (pun intended)... But secondly - it also works as a great visual reminder perhaps why we need to be aware of the dangers of cold-water freeflow. ...

To have it easy! So simple it can be if you get along.

Dive Board is truly a place to share their journeys and experiences on. To share, to dream or to just gain experience of the intended dive site.

I hope in the future look to be open or integrate a forum to discuss things further on Diveboard. I hope that the dive industry turns around a bit and try to integrate with each other. There is much that is equally out there and I want to tell about www.divejobsonline.com which is a site that can connect instructors with dive centers that are looking for staff. A website for instructors who want or are looking for a job where "out" or as a tool for the dive center seeking staff quickly. ...
