When I say shallow water, I mean water shallow enough for the kids to stand in, bend over, put their masked face in the water and watch fish swim by. Hawaii, Mexico and the Caribbean all have excellent shallow water snorkeling. This makes it pretty darn safe even for the youngest of your family. Good snorkel areas tend to have very calm water, but you still should maintain a watch on the little ones and practice water safety. Overall, shallow water snorkeling is very safe.Thu, 30 Oct 2008 16:02:41 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2706&sn=%20diving&cn=%20snorkeling&view=2061http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2706&sn=%20diving&cn=%20snorkeling&view=2061Learning how to scuba dive is your ticket to the ultimate underwater adventure. The scuba certification that you earn is internationally recognized, never expires, and allows you to rent or purchase your own diving equipment. You'll soon discover, however, that there is no shortage of dive companies out there competing for your hard earned dollars. It can be a daunting task trying to find one that has a proven track record of honesty, integrity, and reliability, while at the same time providing a positive certification experience for both you and your family. To help you comparison shop, I've compiled a list of questions any potential certification student needs to ask before getting certified. (There are a number of different scuba training organizations that a dive company can be affiliated with. This article deals primarily with certification courses sanctioned by PADI: Professional Association of Diving Instructors, the largest scuba training organization in the world).Wed, 29 Oct 2008 18:35:38 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1357&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certification&view=2018http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1357&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certification&view=2018Underwater photography's is primarily focused towards entertaining and informing the people and the users themselves about what is happening in the world of under water with the aid of photography. The advent of digital cameras has opened up new horizons for such ventures. These digital cameras are not only handy and sleek but also they offer a spectral range of features that helps the underwater photographers in their work a lot. In this discussion these special features of underwater digital cameras are necessarily been revealed and done justice to!Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:03:47 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1358&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20photography&view=1945http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1358&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20photography&view=1945When it comes to investing in your own pair of scuba fins, you have a plethora of choices from a number of manufacturers who continue to advance the engineering they use to produce the most durable, efficient fins possible. While the original, traditional full foot scuba fins are still popular among some people, there are many more styles available now. Most of the new styles of scuba fins are designed by using technical and involved mathematical angles and engineering so that the fin works to the divers advantage as far as efficiency and ease of use.Wed, 29 Oct 2008 10:56:13 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2626&sn=%20diving&cn=%20how%20to%20choose%20the%20right%20scuba%20fins&view=1936http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2626&sn=%20diving&cn=%20how%20to%20choose%20the%20right%20scuba%20fins&view=1936Before you start your diving activities and using a snorkel for the first time, there are some important tips and notions which you must learn and take into account. When done properly and following some main guidelines, diving and wearing a snorkel can be a great and very enjoyable activity, but if it is done without following the basics problems might arouse and it might end up being a headache rather than gratifying.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 22:00:07 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2569&sn=%20diving&cn=%20snorkel%20and%20mask%20tips&view=1834http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2569&sn=%20diving&cn=%20snorkel%20and%20mask%20tips&view=1834When practicing cold water diving, one of the main and most important things to have into account is which clothes to wear in order to keep warm. Keeping warm while diving in cold water is not as easy as it might sound since you must wear the proper clothes in order to be able not only to maintain your body temperature but at the same time keep your agility and be able to move as you need.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 21:59:20 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2568&sn=%20diving&cn=%20cold%20water%20diving&view=1833http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2568&sn=%20diving&cn=%20cold%20water%20diving&view=1833A sea scooter is a water propeller which facilitates the practices of divers as well as it ads fun to their activities. It makes the practice of this sport easier and allows divers to spend their energies in a better way. These devices usually are small and light, providing comfort not only in their use but also in their transportation.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 18:56:31 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2549&sn=%20diving&cn=%20sea%20scooters&view=1795http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2549&sn=%20diving&cn=%20sea%20scooters&view=1795Dalton's law refers to the effects which partial pressure might have on divers. This law says that the pressure of mixed gases is equal to the pressure produced by the individual gas. It can also be explained by saying that the total pressure of a mixture of gases equals the sum of the partial pressures of gases which are part of it.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:33:35 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2538&sn=%20diving&cn=%20dalton's%20law&view=1780http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2538&sn=%20diving&cn=%20dalton's%20law&view=1780Decompression is necessary whenever a diver wishes to dive in depths which go under the 130 feet. If a diver tries to go deeper than 130 feet into the water without following decompression procedures he would instantly notice that his air starts running low and would feel the effects of pressure in his body.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:32:40 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2537&sn=%20diving&cn=%20decompression&view=1779http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2537&sn=%20diving&cn=%20decompression&view=1779Wetsuits are meant to keep divers warm by giving them thermal protection. There are some important guidelines which a diver should learn regarding the wetsuit he might acquire and use. First of all, it is important to know that they are usually made from neoprene; most of the times open cell neoprene. Besides, when wetsuits have a coating added to the neoprene they are easier to be worn and taken off.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:16:58 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2008&sn=%20diving&cn=%20wet%20suit%20tips&view=1765http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2008&sn=%20diving&cn=%20wet%20suit%20tips&view=1765A magnetic compass is an indispensable device which divers should always carry and be able to consult while they dive. The compass might make the difference for a lost diver allowing him to find the shore, which he couldn't do without it. Having a magnetic compass is crucial at the moment of wishing to know where we are while being at the water.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 17:16:07 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2528&sn=%20diving&cn=%20never%20go%20diving%20without%20a%20magnetic%20compass&view=1764http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2528&sn=%20diving&cn=%20never%20go%20diving%20without%20a%20magnetic%20compass&view=1764Diving in a current implies a higher amount of difficulty and danger than regular diving, but this can be avoided if the diver knows how to properly do it by being trained for it as well as by learning some important guidelines. Although some rules regarding diving in a current are given in most diving training schools, if you are going to dive in a current you should also receive specialized training for it.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:16:46 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2515&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20in%20a%20current&view=1740http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2515&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20in%20a%20current&view=1740Skin squeeze is one of the barotrauma problems which divers can suffer due to the pressure factors involved in the practice of the sport. This way, a barotrauma can be caused due to the differences between the pressure of the water and the surface pressure to which the diver's body is adequate and used to. Barotraumas include problems such as external, inner and middle ear squeeze, eye squeeze, skin squeeze, sinus squeeze and lung squeeze.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 16:16:01 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2514&sn=%20diving&cn=%20the%20skin%20squeeze%20effect&view=1739http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2514&sn=%20diving&cn=%20the%20skin%20squeeze%20effect&view=1739Divers who enjoy visiting wrecks might find in Scapa Flow the best place where to spend a vacation.

It offers not only great diving opportunities but also a very impressing and exotic natural environment. If you wish to visit this area when its natural aspect is the brightest, you should do so between March and July, during the time of the heaviest rains in which its green areas are at the brightest point.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 14:25:11 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2496&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20fernando%20de%20noronha&view=1715http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2496&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20fernando%20de%20noronha&view=1715If you wish to dive next to dolphins in the Red Sea, Dolphin Reef might be a great choice for you. At Dolphin Reef, divers can dive next to dolphins while they are in their natural habitat. Dolphins who are free to go away from visitors if they wish and are not trained to socialize still stay near and sometimes even showing a very playful spirit.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:40:16 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2482&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20in%20dolphin%20reef&view=1692http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2482&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20in%20dolphin%20reef&view=1692Thislegorm is among the top ten dives of the world and maybe occupies the first place in wreck diving. It is so amazing that divers need to dive many times and observe its different areas once a time in order to completely explore it. This amazing wreck is one of the most recommendable places to visit by those who love having contact with history while diving.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 13:39:10 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1348&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20historical%20wrecks&view=1691http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1348&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20historical%20wrecks&view=1691Despite its beauty, Rodrigues hasn't become a popular area due to its reduced size and lack of commercial exploitation. This way, this area maintains the same natural characteristics it had years ago and remains almost unchanged. Therefore, this place contains a wild beauty which divers could hardly find at other diving destinations.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:58:58 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2468&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20rodrigues&view=1675http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2468&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20rodrigues&view=1675Ningaloo Reef is located at the western coast of Australia in an area which starts at Cape Range and ends at Shark Bay. It is widely known due to the fact that it has a large reef close to the shore which is unique and can not be found at other diving sites. This characteristic is what attracts most divers who come to the reef although there are several other characteristics which turn the area into a very interesting and attractive one not only for divers but also for visitors in general.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:58:03 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2467&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20ningaloo%20reef&view=1674http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2467&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20ningaloo%20reef&view=1674Kota Kimbalu is located in Southeast Asia, next to Mountain Kinabalu, the tallest mountain in the region. This area's water is crystal clear and offers a beautiful environment not only for divers but for those who enjoy sea related activities in general as well.

This site is one of the most famous wreck diving destinations of the entire world due to the amount of historic sunken ships which can be visited and seen with great clarity due to these area's waters usual transparency.Tue, 28 Oct 2008 12:44:46 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2462&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20coron%20bay&view=1666http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2462&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations%20-%20coron%20bay&view=1666There's a completely different world underwater! What we see on the water's surface is a far cry from what scuba divers get to explore in traverse depths. But unfounded fears of scuba diving brought about by myths, hearsay and lack of knowledge get in the way of experiencing the exciting sport.Mon, 27 Oct 2008 08:56:18 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2342&sn=%20diving&cn=%20myths&view=1430http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2342&sn=%20diving&cn=%20myths&view=1430One of the most interesting dives for any certified scuba diver is the shark dive. During most dives in the Caribbean, seeing a shark is actually a rare occurrence and considered a bonus since they don't tend to stay around very long if they are sighted anyway. One quick glimpse and they are gone in the distance. This is why the shark dives in the Bahamas were developed. It's a way to give daring scuba divers a chance to see many sharks up close. These shark dives are available in both Nassau and Freeport in the Bahamas. I had an opportunity to do one of these shark dives during a dive trip to Nassau in the island of Providence.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:51:05 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2337&sn=%20diving&cn=%20shark%20diving&view=1415http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2337&sn=%20diving&cn=%20shark%20diving&view=1415One scuba diving vacation option for divers is with the Club Med resorts that offer intensive dive programs. These particular Club Med locations have full service scuba diving centers staffed by PADI and NAUI certified instructors as well as full equipment rentals. Club Med has locations with dive intensive programs in the Caribbean and the South Pacific. One such resort is the Club Med Turkoise in the Turks and Caicos islands located southeast of the Bahamas. While these islands are not the lushest in the Caribbean, they do have excellent coral reef systems making it a top scuba diving destination in the region.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 22:13:30 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2322&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations&view=1391http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2322&sn=%20diving&cn=%20destinations&view=1391Whether you're an amateur diver, or an experienced one looking for a new challenge, you'll want to visit Australia so that you can dive along the Great Barrier Reef. The Barrier Reef is 1,250 miles long and stretches from New Guinea to Queensland. Diving in this area of the world is an experience that you won't forget since it's filled with the wonder of natural elements combined with some of the most amazing sea creatures of the world.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 19:03:11 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2310&sn=%20diving&cn=%20fantastic%20diving%20spots%20down%20under&view=1369http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2310&sn=%20diving&cn=%20fantastic%20diving%20spots%20down%20under&view=1369The latest shipwreck dive site in the Florida Keys for scuba divers is the USS Spiegel Grove. This is a former US Navy Landing Ship Dock that was sunk in 2002 to create an artificial reef in Key Largo, much like the Duane and Bibb ships were in the same general area. The Spiegel Grove is 510 feet in length and 84 feet wide making it the largest of the shipwrecks accessible to scuba divers in the Florida Keys. This wreck sits at a depth of 134 feet near Dixie Shoals and the depth at the highest point of the ship is about 60 to 65 feet depending on the tide level.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 16:04:36 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1348&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20historical%20wrecks&view=1323http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1348&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20historical%20wrecks&view=1323One of the all time favorite marine animals for many is the dolphin. Previously, the closest one can ever get to a dolphin is at the various marine theme parks like Sea World. Then a few dolphin research centers started petting dolphins and swim with dolphins programs which allowed more direct interactions with these wonderful creatures. For certified scuba divers, direct interaction with dolphins under the water is possible. This is an even better experience than the swim with dolphins programs which keep guests only on the surface of the water. This unique under the water opportunity is available through UNEXSO's dolphin dive at Freeport, Grand Bahama Island.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:26:44 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2272&sn=%20diving&cn=%20the%20dolphin%20dive%20for%20certified%20scuba%20divers&view=1299http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2272&sn=%20diving&cn=%20the%20dolphin%20dive%20for%20certified%20scuba%20divers&view=1299If you have never dived before and aren't sure that you want to spend the money on the certification process, you can still go diving. There are popular diving locations in the Caribbean or the Florida Keys where the resort may offer dives. These are typically one day or weekend crash courses, and they don't allow you the freedom you have with becoming certified, but they will give you a chance to see what it's like.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 15:18:35 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1357&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certification&view=1293http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1357&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certification&view=1293The Orkney Islands, location of Scapa Flow a natural harbour since the days of the Norse invaders, more recently a base for the Royal Navy, The final resting place for the remains of the German High Seas Fleet and the destination for this years Selby Aquanauts diving expedition.Sun, 26 Oct 2008 14:09:26 +0000http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2248&sn=%20diving&cn=%20scuba%20diving%20in%20scapa%20flow&view=1252http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2248&sn=%20diving&cn=%20scuba%20diving%20in%20scapa%20flow&view=1252We can't be underwater all the time, we know that. It is a simple fact.

Prior to that, it is probably a good idea to get some more experience as a new scuba diver right after the basic certification by doing several easy beginner level dives to further sharpen the basic skills and to appreciate the new underwater world. This can be easily done with a week of scuba diving at a destination where there are plenty of easier dive sites such as the Florida Keys. There's no rush to do the more difficult dives for now.Thu, 23 Oct 2008 14:39:45 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2137&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certificates&view=1018http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2137&sn=%20diving&cn=%20certificates&view=1018Many studies have researched athlete's experiences in The Zone.

Choose your dive centre very carefully - then, if you enjoyed your scubadiving course, trust them to outfit you with the best dive gear for your type of diving.Wed, 22 Oct 2008 20:29:52 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2055&sn=%20diving&cn=%20scuba%20diving%20gear%20reviews&view=914http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2055&sn=%20diving&cn=%20scuba%20diving%20gear%20reviews&view=914It seems as each summer passes there is an increase in the number of shark attacks being reported throughout the world. Some would believe this must mean there is an increase in the number of sharks attacking people in the water. Figuratively speaking, an increase in the population could result in an increase in attacks and more people to damage. Realistically, it means our shark attack reporting system has become more efficient.Tue, 21 Oct 2008 11:54:14 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2009&sn=%20diving&cn=%20shark%20attacks&view=836http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2009&sn=%20diving&cn=%20shark%20attacks&view=836Don't leave the dock without itTue, 21 Oct 2008 11:32:23 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1404&sn=%20diving&cn=%20tips&view=835http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1404&sn=%20diving&cn=%20tips&view=835The eternal question of wetsuit urinationTue, 21 Oct 2008 11:29:29 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2008&sn=%20diving&cn=%20wet%20suit%20tips&view=834http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=2008&sn=%20diving&cn=%20wet%20suit%20tips&view=834Learning to scuba dive was one of the best decisions I have ever made. Even these days, every time I go diving, the thrill is just like the first dive.Sun, 19 Oct 2008 19:32:35 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1404&sn=%20diving&cn=%20tips&view=710http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1404&sn=%20diving&cn=%20tips&view=710When we think of underwater cameras and photography, we think of capturing what we see while snorkeling and diving; we think about the pictures we'll take and share. We practice taking better and better pictures; it's a hobby and we love it. Or we share them with people not lucky enough to have seen the beauty of what lies beneath the seas and oceans. The fish whose colors we've only seen in saltwater tanks. We think about good things; vacations and relaxation, adventure and exotic creatures.Sun, 19 Oct 2008 15:33:02 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1358&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20photography&view=610http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1358&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20photography&view=610A suit to use in cold conditions is a major investment for most divers. You are not just investing in keeping dry but also in keeping warm. To do this it must fit well with seals that are efficient at the neck and wrists.Sun, 19 Oct 2008 14:44:03 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1895&sn=%20diving&cn=%20features%20of%20a%20dry%20suit&view=584http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1895&sn=%20diving&cn=%20features%20of%20a%20dry%20suit&view=584Every diver must think of underwater kinetics at some point. Unless you want to feel around in the dark every time you go under the water you'll have to consider what kind of flashlight you need. Here are a few tips for choosing the right scuba light.Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:13:19 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1748&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20lighting&view=330http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1748&sn=%20diving&cn=%20underwater%20lighting&view=330There's a good reason Tanya Streeter holds multiple world records for free diving. It's all in the training. Here are a few tips from Streeter's own training regimen:Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:11:24 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1747&sn=%20diving&cn=%20training&view=329http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1747&sn=%20diving&cn=%20training&view=329Scuba diving can be a great pastime for you if you love the water. In the summer it's a great water sport where you can cool off while keeping physically fit! However there are aspects that you will want to consider first. These will indeed help you better decide if it's for you, and make it very enjoyable as well.Thu, 16 Oct 2008 21:09:17 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1362&sn=%20diving&cn=%20beginners&view=328http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1362&sn=%20diving&cn=%20beginners&view=328Scuba Divers are made of many people that are tired of the usual tedious workday, followed by the nerve-racking task of driving; add all the noise pollution it instigates. That's before everything else scuba divers encounter in these fast paced times outside of scuba diving.Thu, 16 Oct 2008 18:50:53 +0100http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1558&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20jobs&view=307http://www.sportgorilla.com/index.php?s=52&c=1558&sn=%20diving&cn=%20diving%20jobs&view=307
