Se non andiamo nei parchi, quante volte in un’ora di immersione ci capita di incontrare un polpo, una murena, Attenzione una cernia? Spesso esploro nuovi siti di immersione ma resto quasi sempre deluso per la povertà della vita marina presente. I parchi marini stanno funzionando più o meno bene, ma dove allaConservazione finiscono i loro confini dobbiamo esserci noi, sempre attenti e vigili, a sensibilizzare l’attenzione per la conservazione della natura. Non è un compito facile, ma se non cominciamo almeno noi amanti del mare abbiamo poco da aspettarci dagli altri. Qualche settimana fa mi è capitato di passare da Rapallo, una città a cui sono molto legato affettivamente, avendoci trascorso tutte le estati per i primi quindici anni della mia vita. Alla fine degli anni ’80 ero un bambino e con il mio retino mi divertivo a pescare granchi e gamberetti sotto i pontili degli stabilimenti balneari. Il porto era già presente ed arrivava dentro al canale Boate e, seppur non fossero le acque più pulite del Mediterraneo, erano ricche di vita. Ora le cose sono cambiate molto e sotto gli stessi pontili non ci sono più né gamberi né granchi ma soltanto sabbia e qualche alga trasportata dalle correnti. Lo stesso scenario si presenta in moltissimi altri posti e mari e oceani sono sempre più poveri, vittime della pesca illegale, dell’inquinamento ma soprattutto dell’egoismo e del menefreghismo dell’uomo. Sui media tradizionali se ne parla troppo poco, così noi su ScubaZone e ScubaPortal abbiamo sempre dato molto spazio a tutte le iniziative rivolte alla tutela della natura e ci auguriamo che questa nostra missione di divulgazione venga sposata da tutti i sub, Quel poco che potremo fare, lo faremo: segnalateci le iniziative a che sono le persone più vicine ai problemi dei nostri mari. difesa della natura e sul magazine o sul sito ne parleremo, cercando “Se muoiono gli oceani moriamo anche noi” titola una recente di sensibilizzare sempre più persone anche durante le nostre attività campagna ambientalista con toni molto forti, se anche sopravvivremo in giro per l’Italia. di sicuro sarà un problema enorme. Se ormai il danno è fatto, e in molti casi è irreparabile, dovremmo cercare quantomeno di limitarlo e di non spingerci oltre con la devastazione sottomarina e anche con quella terrestre.

This is a unique and comprehensive summary of world wide development in this field. It is probably not realised what a vital part closed circuit breathing apparatus played in World War II. Apart from escapes from damaged and sunken submarines by means of the DSEA, and the special attacks on ships by human torpedoes and X-craft, including the mortal damage to the "Tirpitz", an important part of the invasion forces were the landing craft obstruction clearance units. These were special teams of frogmen in oxygen breathing sets who placed demolition charges on the formidable underwater obstructions along the north coast of France.

    May/June 2011 http://www.tailwindsofsantamariabc.org Editor: Diana Cantero Tailwinds of Santa Maria BC is a member of the Santa Maria Valley Chamber of Commerce FROM THE PRESIDENT Boy doesn't time fly by. All ready we are starting the month of May and the weather has been so- so; good days and cold days with a little wind thrown in for good m easure. We've had some great rides though. If you missed the one called Bitter Water a 73 mile ride from Shandon through the San Andreas fault and Shell Creek Road, you missed a beautiful ride. We had some headwinds and some good sized water puddles (after the rains) to cross, but at the end of the day it was well worth it. Thank you, ride leader, Tom Murphy. Although we are still short on ride leaders we seem to be getting rides out. Come on guys! Sign-up and lead a ride that you would like to do. It can be 15 to 30 miles or longer. You just need to decide where you want to go. The days are get- ting longer, the rains have stopped and there are no excuses. The Spring Choo Choo ride had to be cancelled due to a problem with Amtrak. Time conflicts did not allow us to re- schedule this one. I know many of you were disappointed but there will be another one scheduled in September. This is another beautiful ride that everyone seems to look forward to and enjoy.especially taking the train back home.
