  • Stepping Into Rebreather Rebreather Diving
    SSteptepping into rebreather diving By Paul Beenaround Alex had always been interested in learning to dive with the new breed of closed circuit rebreather’s that had appeared in recent years, so when he was suddenly faced with the choice of a dance weekend in chilly Munich or a week learning to dive with them in the Red Sea it wasn’t a hard decision to make. He was soon on his way with Easyjet flying over the Swiss Alps en-route for Sharm el sheik. Everything went very smoothly and he had soon settled down in the Camel hotel, a slightly upmarket one in the centre of Sharm which was not far from the Red Sea College where he would be doing his rebreather course. The next day he met Sherif, an impish Egyptian who was going to be his mentor for the combined basic and advanced four day course. After some classroom work he was shown the intricate workings of the Poseidon MK6 rebreather, the only one recognised by PADI for recreational sports divers on their recently introduced rebreather course. It was a very complex piece of kit, largely controlled by computer software, which took away the risk of diver error. This is unlike many other versions on the market that had caused accidents and deaths, usually through the diver making a mistake. As nice as it was to know that it was keeping him alive, the Poseidon rebreather’s had had many software problems that largely prevented you either starting a dive or necessitated aborting a dive halfway through for often non-existent faults.

    1 California State University Northridge Aquatic Center A Center of the Recreation and Tourism Management Department Strategic Plan for 2011-2014 Adopted March 2011 (edited Jan 2012) The aquatic center has as its mission to teach and promote boating and water safety education through credit, non-credit, and community service programs. The center is also a learning laboratory for RTM Students. CSUN students develop professional skills in teaching, programming, and leadership while working with youth, adults, and special populations. Programs include sailing, windsurfing, canoeing, kayaking, stand-up paddle boarding, water skiing, wakeboarding, wakeskating, personal watercraft, boating safety education, water safety education, outdoor education, environmental education, and leadership training. The aquatic center provides services to over 10,000 students and community members each year through a variety of programs. John Van Arsdale has served as the director of the aquatic center since it began and anticipates retirement from his current position in the summer of 2011. The shift in the staffing pattern of the center is one of the motivating factors for drafting a strategic plan to guide the transition and the intermediate future. The RTM departments overall strategic planning as part of program review and COARPT accreditations preparation also makes it a good time to look again at the future of the CSUN Aquatic Center. I. Keep Doing What is Working 1. Remain a chartered center of the Recreation and Tourism Management Department providing curricular and co-curricular services to CSUN students and to the larger community. 1.1 Rationale includes clear alignment with academic mission of CSUN as well as financial advantages related to equipment and existing contracts that could not be achieved if it were not a center of an academic department.

  • From Seafood to Key Lime Pie, Florida Keys Cuisine Pleases
    Keys TravelerThe Magazine KeysKeys CuisineCuisine The Bogart ConnectionConnection Keys Lighthouses Inspire Artist The ‘Ten Keymandments’ fla-keys.com 140401 NPR KeysTraveler2012.indd 1 10/10/12 4:41 PM or a quarter of a century, Sister Shipwrecks Off advanced and experienced Fdivers have enjoyed diving the twin “Treasury Class” 327- Key Largo Turn 25 foot U.S. Coast Guard cutters, a class simply referred to as “the 327s,” that rest in nearly 130 feet of water one mile south of Molasses Reef off Key Largo in the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary. The Duane was named for Secretary of the Treasury William L. Duane, who served under Andrew Jackson. It was sunk as an artificial reef Nov. 27, 1987. A day later, the Bibb was sunk nearby. Large pelagic fish often visit the wreck, and there’s no shortage of big barracuda. Considered the service’s flagships, the cutters served in a variety of capacities, including service in World War II. Both cutters are part of a trail of Florida Keys shipwrecks stretching from Key Largo to Key West and spotlighted by the Wreck Trek Passport Program. The program rewards certified divers who complete a series of wreck dives listed in an official logbook. Because of its popularity, a “Wreck Trek 2.0” continuation of the dive challenge is under way through January 2014. Divers who complete five dives (one wreck in each Keys region) receive a personalized print of Keys shipwrecks. Divers who finish all nine dives are entered in a contest for a chance to win one of several grand prizes including dive equipment, accessories and dive and lodging packages.
