Surprise Drop In Carbon Dioxide Absorbed By East/Japan Sea

The East/Japan Sea in the western North Pacific is ventilated from the surface to the bottom of the ocean over decades. Authors conclude that overturning circulation is weakening, slowing down the transport of anthropogenic carbon dioxide from the surface to the interior of the East/Japan Sea.

Hello from Los Angeles!

ScubaBoard Forums - 1 hour 23 min ago
Hi gang, I've just been introduced to the online forums this year and dove on in to a few cigar forums earlier this year as I've found I've actually enjoyed that new hobby as well as diving, which, of course, is so much more healthy for me. :D

I'm a SoCal (Southern California) native and was certified in San Pedro, CA out of Pacific Wilderness (actual beach dives were Newport Beach & Redondo Beach) after doing a resort course down in St. Lucia about 4 years ago. Seann Bogguess was my most excellent instructor over at PacWild.

I've done several Catalina Island trips on the Psalty V and have 3 night dives under my belt and have basically done the requirements for the Advanced Cert; I just need to do the course.

I'm at about dive number 55 or so and really enjoy it and finally have all my gear (thanks mrsreindeer!) and take advantage of diving whereever we travel (and we love to travel!).

So far, I've dived (in order of occurence):

-St. Lucia
-Redondo Beach
-Newport Beach
-Palos Verdes
-Catalina Island
-Cozumel
-Mykonos (Greece)
-Kauai
-British Virgin Islands
-Hawaii (Big Island)
-Belize

Thanks for having me & I look forward to making a lot of new buddies!!

Sealife DC500

ScubaBoard Forums - 2 hours 1 min ago
I have one that I would like to sell, because I don't dive too much anymore. I'm not sure what price to ask for, but I am selling everything that is associated with the camera together, so make me an offer. It's only been used probably about 10 times and has been very well kept. I have used it very little topside. I can post a bunch of pictures if someone is interested, but off the top of my head it includes:

DC500
DC500 Underwater Housing
charger
extra battery
cleaning kit
moisture busters
wide angle lens with cover


This is the unit as seen on scubatoys:

grease for the ears

Rebreather world - 2 hours 5 min ago
yo all

When sitting at my desk and trying to dig through my pile of accumulated administrational deeds I like to massage my half deaf ears with some tunes ... and got so sired of my mp3 collection and all that, as well got so tired about all the advertising and bullshit talk on radio ...

I found this internet radio station Radio Paradise free of comercials and breaks with a mellow choice of music I came to apreciate and like a lot that I would like to share it .... just go onto the web page, click under listen and choose your connection ... and thats it ...

It can be found under Radio Paradise - Commercial Free Internet Radio - Online Radio, Stone Ground, Hand Mixed, Served Hot and accessed with any mp or media player installed on your computer.

Hope you enjoy as much as I do

greetings
Matt

Badly disguised purchase justification

Rebreather world - 2 hours 11 min ago
Hæ all,
allright say let's say I'm doing 25min, less than 20m dives two-three times every other day in 2C cold water, would an rebreather (mCCR) be able to replace my oc gear for guiding?

Here are some justification points I thought of and well... points against and staying in oc-land:
+ Ability to talk underwater
+ Warm breathing air :)
+ No bubbles
- Warm up time?
- Operational Cost (O2, scrubber, service)

and are there any technical objections the wise would have to such rebreather usage, ie. scrubber warmup time or due to the cold environment that would make it significantly unwise to use a rebreather?

Cheers Jói
