Weird and wonderful

I collected some interesting videos to share.

The first one is a special epidose of Strictly come dancing: they went under water to dance with scuba gear. The result is surprisingly good.


Many divers love sharks and the most adventurous join the trips to Bahamas where they dive without cage. We heard the sad news of a diver who died there and there are gossips of shark attacks. The huge tiger sharks and the smaller lemon sharks come too close during feeding. This video shows a lucky but frightening moment which didn't make me organizing a trip...


And the last video is a really spectacular animation of ocean currents from NASA.

Fishing Under Ice

I think nowadays every diver talks about this stunning short movie made by some crazy Finnish divers. Great work, if you haven't seen it yet, watch it! It's funny, entertaining and brilliant. (And I recommend to share the original video uploaded by the creators.)

Scuba Christmas

Last weekend our friends in Dorog invited us to the underwater Christmas celebration. They had a nice a tree and an UW camera which they used for the live coverage of the event. As usual the cold water wasn't inviting for most of the guest, the majority of us stayed in the surface. It was nice to see some old diver friends again and greet the brave ones (especially the man who dived in wetsuit in 5 degrees cold!) who submerged.

Disclaimer

Should this text appear in every Open Water Diver book's first page? "After certification you can be saddened for 47-50 weeks per year."

(I found this in a ScubaBoard post, great idea.)

Are there any musics for diving?

I know there isn't any answer of my question. However there are musics which makes me remember of my dive adventures, because filmmakers use them in their documentaries, or their mood is inspiring me. I try to embed some of my favorites from time to time, but this first music is here only because of its title: Dive in Your Life. Hope you like it!

Fun, fun, fun

Everybody knows PADI's "Diving is Fun" motto but how can we show it to somebody who isn't a diver? Well, one of my friends made a really nice, lively video of a liveaboard trip to the Egyptian Red Sea. He's a brilliant camera operator and editor, but even better, he was able to make his buddies to be crazy and insane under and above water in the second part. I envy this guy who can make so entertaining videos, but instead of being sad because I'm not that talented I'm proud to have such friends like him. Watch this awesome short movie and feel the atmosphere of a great week long dive trip in the wonderful, warm Red Sea!
