Water Resistant Watches
The degree of water resistance needed in a watch depends entirely on how it's going to be used. If it won't be immersed to any appreciable depth, then minimal is fine, but if you're considering it for swimming or diving, then something more substantial is required. Depth ratings for the amount of water-resistance vary from about 30 meters (100 feet) to 1000 meters (3300 feet) and more. The point to remember about them is that the rating determination is done under controlled conditions in a test lab and rarely reflects the real world. For instance, in a lab, the watch isn't being moved or bumped, nor is the water temperature varied. Generally speaking, a depth rating of less than 100 meters (330...

The almost three hours drive was completely paid off with the good time I had. It was a really sleepy fishing village with only a few modest accommodations available. Even my cell-phone, subscribed to the widest network provider, could not get a signal. I stayed at a very modest bungalow called Three Brothers, less than $8 for an absolute beachfront bungalow with private bath. Whilst it did not have luxurious amenities like TV, AC, or hot water, it is nice and clean, but the more impressive thing of friendliness of the staffs treating guests like old friends. Just a few weeks back we got in touch with Scott, a Seattle based American furniture exporter, who has just completed a beachfront villas at...

Go Deep
Yesterday, we went snorkeling on a coral reef at Kaneohe Bay in Oahu, Hawaii. We had a great time feeding the fish by hand and marveling at their beauty. We saw a green sea turtle and an eel. When the majority of my 21 companions got cold and climbed back on board the boat, I took off to the side of the reef and started diving deeper. It was there that I saw some amazing fish that weren't partaking in the feeding frenzy. One of them was an amazing translucent blue. I could never describe its beauty without you seeing it as it glided around the coral. I also got a few bluebottle stings, which the others didn't get, but the fleeting discomfort was nothing compared to the wonder of being alone in those...

A Perfect Day in Paradise!

Therefore, we drove out of Key West on US Highway 1 about 20 miles north to Mile Marker 25.

The food was excellent, and needlesstosay, we felt like stuffed whales when we got in our car and headed for the beach 12 miles north near Big...
An Overview of A Wetsuit
The neoprene of the wetsuit contains small bubbles of nitrogen gas. Nitrogen gas has a very low thermal conductivity. This prevents the heat inside the wetsuit from escaping to the water outside of the wetsuit. If you were in the water without a wetsuit on, the heat from your body would escape to the water because the water has a very high thermal conductivity. The wetsuit does not prevent all of the water from getting inside the wetsuit. There is a thin layer of water that is allowed to get between the suit and the skin of the diver. The skin of the diver will warm the water. The water and the wetsuit will then serve as insulation against the cold water. The warmth you get from the wetsuit...

Liveaboard Diving Komodo - Indonesia
During this very lucky trip, coming through the Komodo Channel, four DUGONGS surfaced next to the boat!! These gentle animals showed no fear, just slowly swam north. A wonderful sight, and a first for most of us on the boat. We were also greeted by lots of Bottlenose Dolphins and a pod of Pilot Whales.

St. Croix - Island Of Opportunity
Having just returned from St. Croix, I'm still trying to figure out what's happening with this island. Is it dying a slow death from neglect, or swollen with opportunity & poised for serious growth? Its current state might lead one to either conclusion. While there, I had a great time, enjoyed some spectacular scuba diving, ate excellent food at super prices, and even had time to drive most of the island looking through history and rainforests. But the thing is, most everywhere I looked, the place seemed like it was falling apart. It reminded me of the 3 C's of rehabbing houses - Clean it up; Cut the grass; & Cover the walls. With the exception of a handful of places in Christiansted, and...

We can't live without it. Water is the very source of life That is why we are so strongly attracted to it. Maybe because we cannot live more than a few days without water, we want to have it close by. Most people would like to live next to it, whether in the form of a stream, river, lake or ocean. Unfortunately, there aren't enough bodies of water to go around for everybody, even for those who can afford living near them. The price of beach front property reflects the fact that it is scarce and in high demand. Even for those fortunate enough to own such property, there is a major trade-off and a good share of disadvantages. Who wouldn't like to have a water garden on their property, or a flower and...
