Throughout its restricted range, Dermatemys has been intensely harvested for its meat and eggs and sold in local markets.

    Now I Know Better BY CATHY CHURCH never earned my dive instructor certification because •1 I’ve only ever wanted to teach photography, not scuba. I am, however, a Professional Association of Diving J Instructors (PADI) limited field specialty instructor. To be that, I needed to be a divemaster, which meant I had get my rescue certification. Rescue was a class I very much wanted to do anyway, even though I had taken it unofficially many, many years ago and have actually rescued several divers in my 45 years of diving. THE EVENT I had a student who wanted to take an underwater photo class with me on my private photo boat, and she brought her son along. The son was a certified diver, but I knew that neither I nor his mother would be able to pay much attention to him while we were engaged in the photography class. So I assigned a dive instructor from my staff to be his buddy. Toward the end of our dive I looked down and saw the son was deeper than we were. Since we were close to our time limit, I became concerned about the possibility he and the instructor were too deep and had been down too long. I got the instructor’s attention and vehemently indicated that he should get the son back to the line for ascent. I turned to my student and started toward the mooring Don’t be complacent or rely too heavily on other divers’ skills. Lean line. I looked back just in time to watch her son do a rapid, administer oxygen and basic first aid.

De enige geluiden zijn de adem- haling van Carlos Coste, de golven die tegen het platform en de boten slaan en de stem van Gaby die aftelt. Alle ogen zijn gericht op de man die, gekleed in het grijze gladde pak, aan zijn slede hangt. Opperste concentratie op zijn gezicht, zijn energie naar binnen gericht. Zijn uitstraling reikt ver. Iedereen in de nabije om- geving voelt de rust en de kracht die vanuit zijn kern naar buiten straalt. De veiligheids- duikers staan gereed. Hij is bijna zover om zijn duik naar 150 meter te maken. De rem gaat van de slede en Carlos verdwijnt de diepte in. Met een snelheid van 1.6 meter per seconde gaat hij de duistere diepte tege- moet. Mijn hartslag is hoog. Het is bizar om getuige te zijn van een man die zich vrijwillig naar zo’n diepte laat afzakken. Ik krijg bijna geen adem van de spanning en vind het on- voorstelbaar hoe deze atleet zijn spanning kan loslaten en zich volledig kan focussen op zijn taak. Aan boord wordt de afdaling op de sonar gevolgd en hardop roept Gaby de diepte en tijd. Het is zenuwslopend. Carlos zal zo’n vier minuten onder water zijn, alleen, op zichzelf aangewezen. Passievol Ik ontmoet een charismatische man als ik Carlos mag interviewen, een week voor zijn eerste recordpoging. Hij is vriendelijk, extravert en spreekt vol passie over het freediven.

  • 2007 Dema Reaching out Award Nomination Form

    2007 Dema Reaching out Award Nomination Form

    2013 DEMA REACHING OUT AWARD NOMINATION FORM ABOUT THE AWARD: The Reaching Out Award was first presented in 1989. The original intent was to recognize individuals who have made a significant contribution to the sport of diving by “reaching out” in some special way to improve the sport for everyone. There are many ways to reach out and do something extraordinary for the sport. Most that have been recognized were pioneers who helped develop techniques related to their special areas of expertise. Their contributions have been made in such areas as photography, training, equipment design, publishing, travel, retailing, water safety, exploration and science. Since its inception, the Reaching Out Award has become more than just recognition of these individual achievements; it has become the industry’s HALL OF FAME. These are the leaders and heroes of our sport. They are the ones who have helped make diving what it is today. Some have greater name recognition than others, but each is, in their own way, as important to the development of diving as any other. To become a member of DEMA’s Hall Of Fame is an extraordinary achievement and is available only to those who truly deserve to be recognized for their outstanding efforts and contribution to the sport. There are many individuals whose works go unnoticed and unheralded. The form below is an opportunity for anyone in the industry to make an application either for themselves or for someone whom they believe honestly deserves to be so recognized. CRITERIA: There are only two criteria for an applicant to the DEMA Hall of Fame and recipient of the Reaching Out Award: 1.

Eckert, Editor Prepared by: CEP Technical Report No. 18 1992 PREFACE Sea turtle stocks are declining throughout most of the Wider Caribbean region; in some areas the trends are dramatic and are likely to be irreversible during our lifetimes. According to the IUCN Conservation Monitoring Centre's Red Data Book, persistent over-exploitation, espe- cially of adult females on the nesting beach, and the widespread collection of eggs are largely responsible for the endangered status of five sea turtle species occurring in the region and the threatened status of a sixth. In addition to direct harvest, sea turtles are accidentally captured in active or abandoned fishing gear, resulting in death to tens of thousands annually.
