Banned Commercials - Underwater Camera Fun

Marcus Q asked:


We’re looking into going on holiday this summer to Egpyt, by the Red Sea (Marsa Alam) with the intention of a relaxation holiday on the beach, with the possibility of snorkelling and scuba diving. We recently went to the Maldives, and loved how the coral reef was so close to the beach, that you could simpy snorkel from the beach. I was wondering however, in Egpyt are there fish and coral reefs close enough to the beach to swim to, or would we have to go on a boat every time we wanted to see the fishes?

I’m looking for a good underwater digital camera that can go quite deep (10 meters, at least) but it also can’t be to expensive (£100 - £170). I’d like it to be at least 5.0 mega pixels, preferably 6.0.
Can anyone suggest one?

I just bought this SeaLife underwater camera that also has video capability. Figured it wouldnt take good video, but it did pretty damn good for a little underwater camera.

One of the fastest growing of all water sports in the world today appears to be scuba diving.The corresponding growth in increased and easier to use transportation links now makes the more obscure and hard to get to diving locations now much more within the reach of the average diver.In this article I really want to take a basic look at Scuba diving but also take a look at one of the world’s leading scuba diving locations in Grand Bahama Island.The activity of swimming underwater whilst using a scuba set is not unsurprisingly known as Scuba Diving. By carrying and using an independent source of compressed air, Divers are able to stay underwater for much longer than they would normally be able to.Scuba equipment gives divers the ability to stay underwater for periods way in excess of normal usage. The additional advantage to all of this as far as the diver is concerned is that it frees them up from being hindered and attached to some form of surface powered air system.It is more common to see scuba divers propelling themselves around underwater by the usage of flippers on their feet. That having been said it is not uncommon for divers who are undertaking large scale explorations’ to actually use a DPV (Diver propulsion vehicle). Commonly known as a scooter divers occasionally use sleds which are attached to surface boats to help them with moving large distances.The original equipment from which modern day scuba equipment was developed came from the use of oxygen rebreathers developed and sued by US Navy frogmen in World War II.Most people now recognize the term as being made popular by the equipment developed by Jacques Cousteau and Emile Gagnan.For the technically correct amongst us the term SCUBA is actually an acronym for the phrase “self-contained underwater breathing apparatus” but as with other technical phrases such as the word “laser”, the term scuba has now entered into normal linguistic usage and usually refers to scuba equipment, scuba diving etc.So to Grand Bahama Island. The reputation of Grand Bahama Island as a diver’s paradise has been growing ever since the earliest episodes of the TV Series “Sea Hunt” were filmed there.The seas around the Island boast elaborate coral gardens, a whole series of speciality dives, deep sites, cave diving and in fact a whole series of different dives.Grand Bahama Island is of course also famous for its “blue holes” – these are spectacular azure portals in the reefs through which you can descend, surrounded by reef wall on all sides. Depending on which way the current is going at any one time these holes can be “blowing” or “sucking” and the currents here can be quite strong and as a result quite dangerous if you are not an experienced diver.The geographical sub structure on which the Island is based is a massive limestone base and tied into this is also one of the other major reasons why people flock to this area of the world for diving and that is the massive underwater cave network that exists here.The underwater cave network that is located by and large within the Lucayan National Park is the second largest of its type in the world.The caves are still being explored, and there are numerous special dive programs that can take you into them (provided you are cave certified).

As a professional fitness personal trainer, people often ask me, “Hey Chris, I am going for a holiday vacation. Can you teach me how not to gain weight during my holidays?” or “I am going for my honeymoon and I always gain weight when I go on vacation, can you tell me how to lose holiday weight without spoiling my honeymoon?”

Actually the answer to holiday weight loss or preventive weight gain is very simple. Choose the holiday vacations with plenty of physical activities. Instead of going to the usual tourist sight seeing trips abroad, choose holiday activities that require you to burn calories and yet have fun. Yes, you can have a fun and lose weight on holiday vacations.

Here are a few vacation holiday activities where you can have fun and yet keep your weight in check :-

Holiday Cruise - Your first thought would probably be how you could possibly lose weight going on cruises? It may escape you that most vacation cruise ships have sports facilities built in. You find tennis courts to gyms with full equipments and fitness gym instructors to boot. Some may even conduct weight loss classes on board the cruise liners.

If you care going on a honeymoon cruise, what better way is there to lose weight and keep fit with your beloved partner?

Scuba diving - Have you ever noticed that most scuba diving instructors have well toned muscles and attractive bodies? This is because they scuba dive almost every day with novice divers sometimes up to 3 times a day including night dives.

As a scuba diver and a former diving instructor myself, I know that the sport of scuba diving can be physically demanding for someone who is unfit and the activities during diving trips can burn plenty of calories. For instance, you need to lug your own scuba gear, climb up and down the boats with the heavy equipment and sometimes even swim against strong currents.

On top of that, the tan you get from sun exposure gives you a healthy glow and muscle toning illusion. So you to want control your holiday weight gain? Then go scuba diving. If you are not a diver, then take up a course while on holiday.

Winter Skiing - Skiing down mountain slopes require a lot of muscle work, coordination and flexibility. Can you imagine how many calories you can burn during your winter skiing vacation?

Weight loss camps - Enroll yourself in a weight loss camps. These camps are usually situated on beautiful mountain resorts or in exotic beach resorts.

Use your creative imagination to easily come out with more holiday vacation ideas that can help you lose weight or at least not gain holiday weight.
