Experience Skydiving

Adventure activities are gaining in popularity, perhaps because we spend most of our day indoors, staring at monitors and screens. Once upon a time, life itself was an adventure. Being chased by a bear, walking down a darkened alley, an encounter with a highwayman, or travelling even a few miles away from one’s village provided a thrill that made one feel alive. Today we need to generate our thrills and one of the best ways is skydiving. There are few more pulse quicken activities than jumping out of a plane and freefalling to earth.

Scuba Diving Is Less Stressful When Your Weight Is Right

Scuba Diving Is Less Stressful When Your Weight Is Right

One of the most important scuba diving skills is proper weighting.

If you carry too much weight on a dive you fight to stay off the bottom. The extra weight drags you downward, and you must constantly adjust the air in your buoyancy control device (BCD), trying to keep yourself at an even level.

Plunging uncontrollably into the bottom kills coral. It stirs up the bottom (clouding the water).

Strap on too little weight and you float straight back to the surface every time you try to descend to diving …

Dive Lights – Are They Only for Seeing in the Dark?

Dive Lights – Are They Only for Seeing in the Dark?
