Sport Divers Magazine - Editor's Pick Oceanic OC1 - March 2009

COOL FACTOR

Enough functionality to make 007's gadget man, Q, raise an eyebrow in approval.

KEY FEATURES

The OC1 is a step up computer that is comprised of a dot matrix display, a digital compassand functionality to switch among three wireless transmitters. The latter allows for a buddy pressure-check function. 4 different dive genres handl 21% room air, EANx, technical gauge mode and freediving mode!, and the dot-matrix display is crisp and easy on the eyes. All of this comes wrapped in a strong, lightweight titanium housing. SmartGlo backlighting works great in low vizibility conditions and at night, and the system includes Oceanic's software Downside

Having had the ability to beta test this dive watch, I was impressed overall; and neutral on a couple of things. If you have failing eyesight, that sleekness of the unit doesn't lend to being more readable. I had to squint in my mask to see the display in low light. So if you have bad eyesight, perhaps the Oceanic ProPlus II is a better computer for you.

Secondly, the digital compass is a bit touchy (keep in mind this was one of the demo units, and probably has been fixed). It must be flat to read out the degree measurement.

Finally, with 5-7mm gloves (we dive this cold water of the Pacific) the buttons are a bit hard to manipulate, to change settings. Also, the computer is a very sophisticated piece of technology and a DVD that came with the computer with a step-by-step guide would be nice.

For the Scuba Diving Equipment Enthusiast, this is the first adopter must have! Do what others have already done and BUY NOW by clicking the links above. We are taking orders RIGHT NOW!

How Important Is Having A Right Diving Gear?

Experiencing the sensation of being underwater like one of its inhabitants during the first time dive is a great occasion for a new diver. Veteran divers never grow tired of spending time beneath the surface. Many take full advantage of the best diving spots all around the world. Before anyone can enjoy such pleasures of the underwater world, it is required to have and use the right diving gear.

If you plan to go for the best gear then you must be prepared to invest a substantial amount of money. Diving equipment is so expensive that many divers can't meet the expense of getting all the equipment at once. They have to gradually build up. A lot of divers purchase good used equipment. To get the best value for money on used items, a new diver asks for advice and suggestions.

When you become a member of a diving center or club, you'll have the opportunity to be in touch with many experienced divers who will be glad to give you advice on diving gear and other equipment. Nobody wants to spend money by buying items that won't keep or too used to be repaired and maintained.

Basic device for diving would consist of a mask, wetsuit, fins and regulator.

Good diving mask is necessary because it relieves the pressure exerted on you and allows comfortable breathing. Mask protects face and improves your field of vision. It comes in a variety of sizes and you must choose the one that is comfortably fit and snug. Divers who wear prescription spectacles will have to get a prescription mask.

A wetsuit also known as a diving suit is worn for entire body protection from cuts and scrapes possibly from equipment or pieces of coral or rock. The suit also protects against burns from certain sea animals. Wearing a suit that fits like a second skin allows efficient movement.

To make you swim faster and easier, fins are used. They come in different sizes and are designed to help preserve the diver's energy as well as saving body oxygen.

The regulator is an important tool that you can't dive without it. This item is not worn. The regulator is used to control the pressure flow of the air in the cylinders. It allows you to breathe easily.

Having proper gear is the only way a diver can keep safe. Even with the best and most cutting edge equipment a diver may only dive with a buddy. The idea is that the one will keep an eye on the other. If one diver encounters unexpected problems the other can either immediately assist or call for assistance. A sensible diver would never risk diving alone.

Anyone can practice diving and learn to be a safe diver. It all relies on the right education from a certified training center and well maintained equipment. Using the right diving gear would result for comfortable, safe and enjoyable dive.

Specialty of Diving Watches You Need to Know

Diving watches are special and advanced timepieces for people to wear for diving. There are some features for you to tell them from other watches.

Feature one: Water Resistance

This is an obvious feature of diving timepiece. It is water resistant for about 300 meters. Divers do not have to worry about the quality of it after diving. As the technology of watch manufacturing is more advanced than ever before, it can go much deeper than it actually is. The diver can surely have a good time by wearing such a timepiece for diving.

Feature two: Watch Case

Usually the case of a diving watch is more stoutly than other timepieces. It is made of special materials like plastics, synthetic resins, titanium and so on. And it must be able to endure the corrosiveness of seawater. The case of the special diving watch is relatively heavy and large when comparing with other watches. The commonest material for the watch case of it is the stainless steel.

Feature three: Crystal

The crystal of a watch for diving is thick in order to enhance the pressure resistance of it. And the materials of the crystal are better in quality such as hardened glass and acrylic glass. These materials are more scratch resistant than other materials for making crystal.

The Omega "Marine", which was introduced in 1932, is said as the first Diving timepiece in history. With more and more people realized how important it was to wear it for scuba diving, more and more diving watches were introduced into the market. In 1954, Rolex Submariner was introduced into the market. These watches are still attractive today. During the 1960s, people had more under water activities. There were more watches designed for these activities. More and more watch manufacturers produced these timepieces at that time. Today, scuba diving is loved by young people. Many people like to do it in their spare time. Either professional divers or not, they wear such a watch for diving. And famous diving timepieces are hot.

There are many high-end diving watches in the market today, such as Rolex, Omega, Seiko, Casio, Citizen and so on. Want to see more, follow me to http://memwatches.com.

Snorkel Gear ? How to Choose the Best Snorkeling Set

I discovered, many years ago that the most relaxing and at the same time exciting water sports is Snorkeling. Just to float around in the water and become part of the underwater world is enough for me to escape the rush and pressure we live in now a days. Don't worry; you don't have to be an Olympic swimmer. As long as you can float and kick your legs, you can snorkel; we'll deal with style later.

Now in order to be able to relax and enjoy snorkeling the right way, we need to learn how to choose the proper snorkeling gear. To make sure that everything fits and works properly so we can enjoy the beauty of the world that awaits us.

There are three essential items you will need. A snorkel mask a snorkel and snorkeling fins. Some folks call it a diving or scuba mask. Yes, you can use a more expensive diving mask used for scuba diving they are the same (just more high priced), but you really don't need to. There are two additional items that I recommend but we will discuss these in the future these are a diving knife and a snorkeling or vest.

So let's talk about the snorkel mask, that's what lets you see under the water. Masks come in different shapes and sizes and the ideal way to check if it fits properly is to hold it against your face and suck in through your nose. When you let go and it continues stuck to your face, you have a perfect fit. The thing is that all masks come in three types, for average faces, for larger faces and for small faces. Most of the masks will come for average faces so when you buy the mask, make sure you get the correct type. Also, the masks skirt, or area that wraps around your face will come in two materials. These are PVC or rubber, for more economical models and of silicone for better models. The last being a bit more expensive, but more comfortable to use and depending on how much you're planning to spend snorkeling and you're budget, both work well.

The snorkel: This item allows you to breath while floating on the surface of the water without having to lift your face out of the water to get a breath of air, like what you have to do when normal swimming. Now, these come in different types also, Dry, Semi-Dry and the regular or purge snorkel. Of course, the dry snorkel says it all, if you submerge, the snorkel will stay dry and when you surface you will not need to empty it out like the purge snorkel. This last one you need to blow out the water that fills the tube while you were under water. With the Dry snorkel you definitely can spend more time under water, since you wouldn't need that extra reserve of air in your lungs to blow the water out. Again, depending on your budget and your interest in snorkeling, that's the one you will buy. But make sure the mouth piece is made of silicone and not PVC, this will avoid irritating your gums and inner lips.

And then there were the fins. Yes, you guessed it; there are various types of fins, actually, too many. But for our purpose, we will discuss two types of snorkeling fins. They are the full foot and the open heel. The advantage of the full foot is that it covers the entire foot and if you were to do some walking on the shore, your feet would be protected. But they don't come in exact shoe sizes and they may fit either lose or too tight, and besides who wants to walk around like a clown with those big shoes they wear. The open heel fin comes with an adjustable strap that you tighten or loosen depending on how you need to properly fit it. Yes your heels will be exposed but probably the fins will fit better and you won't have to worry about them coming off or being too tight that could make you uncomfortable.

So, when you go hunting for the best snorkeling set or snorkeling gear, keep these hints in mind and they will help you choose the Best Snorkeling Set.

How to Choose the Best Dive Watch For You

For many years, dive watches have been a necessary accessory for avid divers
all over the world. They are designed for underwater diving in the instance that
the diver in question is surpassing greater than 100 meters, meaning that the vast
majority of dive watches will have a water resistance of around 200-300 meters,
or 660-990 feet. However, with advances in technology occurring every day, many
divers' watches now have the ability to survive in much deeper waters. There is a
large amount of models on the market at the moment and if you do the necessary
research into what makes the most ideal divers' watch it can be a great investment
to make. However, in order to make an educated decision when purchasing a divers'
watch, it is important that you not only understand the reasons why they are used,
but also how they work.

One of the main reasons why dive watches are so widely used is because they are
an extremely useful piece of equipment-both in and out of the water. In some cases,
an individual may opt to wear a divers' watch as a fashion statement and others
may also purchase them if they are avid watch collectors. However, there are a wide
number of models on offer and if you are looking to use your watch when diving,
the type you use and your knowledge on how it works is crucial. In order to choose
the best divers' watch for your needs, you firstly need to identify if your watch will
be your primary or secondary timing source. If you require your watch to be your
primary source of timing, you need to invest in a dependable, high quality watch.
Those who have the use of a dive computer and so only require their watch to be a
secondary source of timing, it is not as catastrophic if their watch fails and so they
will be able to risk purchasing a lower quality watch.

When looking for your ideal divers' watch, there are two important factors you
should take into consideration: the watches water resistance and its type of bezel.
In regards to its water resistance, you must firstly be aware that this does not mean
that you will require a waterproof watch. Waterproof products are not usually
able to withstand the pressure which is experienced when diving and so the best
watches for you will be rated by either the pressure they can withstand, or the
depth they can be used for, either in meters or feet. Whether you are a recreational
diver or you are a competitive diver, it is always beneficial to invest in a dive
watch which is rated to at least 200 meters in order to be safe. A divers' watch
which is rated at this level is suitable for all forms of water activity, in particular
scuba diving. If you are looking to purchase a watch to use whilst swimming and/or
snorkeling purposes, look for one which is rated at water resistant up to 100 meters.

When selecting a divers' watch with the correct type of bezel, you should look for
one which has a one way, adjustable bezel. A bezel is a metal ring which is situated
around the face of the watch, with added point indicators and a zero mark to
identify the starting point. In order to use the bezel, you simply need to turn it until
the zero marks are lines up with the minute hands. In order to calculate your time in
the water, simply look at the indicators on the bezel that the minute hand is pointing
to. Most good quality divers' watches will come with this type of bezel, so it is a
good indication of quality. The advantage of this form of bezel is that it will only turn
in a counter clockwise direction, meaning that should you inadvertently knock the
watch, it will only move in the opposite way to the minute hand. This in return, will
show that you have been under water for a longer period of time than you actually
have, rather than a shorter time period. A bezel should always be tight enough
that it requires some effort in order to move it around the dial.

Once you have identified the best model for you with these two factors, you can
then contemplate other aspects of the watch such as whether it has a clear face or
luminous dials for example. A dive watch is not just a great investment in terms of
great craftsmanship, but in terms of diving in deep waters, it is a beneficial necessity.

Scuba Diving Safety - A guide on how to conduct safe scuba practices

<!-- @page { margin: 0.79in } P { margin-bottom: 0.08in } A:link { so-language: zxx } -->

Scuba diving can be one of the most enjoyable recreational sports you will ever make. However, before you start getting all excited about scuba, you have to be very well aware that scuba diving does carry its own risks.

Diving related accidents resulting in death or serious injuries are not all that rare. You may hear every now and again of such unfortunate incidents in which a diver looses his life. It makes you want to stop and think.

However, this should not stop you from a giving it a try. With proper care and caution, scuba diving can be a very relaxing sport. There are kids and elderly alike that enjoy this pastime without loosing their lives. Let me put this into context. Scuba diving is no more dangerous than driving a motorcycle. In fact I dare to say that today, it is more dangerous riding a motorcycle in a quiet street. But that does not stop bikers from getting on the road and enjoying their machine.

Firstly let us take a look as to why most scuba diving accidents occur. Well, according to statistics, most scuba diving deaths occur to divers who are not properly trained. Either due to not knowing how to operate their scuba equipment or because of a lack of understanding on the effects of scuba diving in deep water.

The first step you should need to do even before buying your own equipment is to get certified with a reputable certifying agency. Do not opt to get trained by a friend or a relative who is not a a certified scuba instructor. Instructors are highly qualified in specialized training and skill and will provide you with the necessary scuba skills which you will not get through an unqualified person.

Physical health is another important factor. Scuba diving is a very strenuous sport. Scuba fatalities from heart or circulatory problems account for about a quarter of all scuba diving deaths. Although you do not need to be a world class athlete, You should be healthy enough to take on the physical stresses associated to scuba diving. If you are in doubt of your physical capabilities, it would be wise to undertake a physical exam before a dive.

One of the most crucial scuba diving safety rules is - never dive on your own. No matter what level of expertise you have, you should always dive with a buddy. Help given underwater even in the simplest form can make all the different between life or death. Besides it is more enjoyable to have someone to share your diving experience with rather than diving on your own.

Always go down with someone who has far more experience than you. This is especially the case if you are a beginner to scuba diving. Two or more beginner scuba divers going on their own is an ingredient for disaster. Get the necessary skills by learning from other who are more proficient. Notice the way they fin underwater, how far more relaxed and delicate their movements seem to be. Become an active diver. If you were to dive frequently, you will maintain your proficiency and will gradually build up your experiences and capabilities.

Many divers risk their lives by overlooking certain risks. Over-confident divers may stray away from their dive plan to explore an underwater cave. This risk can easily be avoided if the dive plan is maintained. Never stray away from the dive plan.

Remember that you are a guest in the underwater environment which is alien to the world you are normally accustomed to... There are many factors that can lead to dangerous situations. Therefore you have to always be aware of your surroundings and be prepared to react when caught up in a dangerous situation.

A key in scuba diving safety is to continue your diving eduction. A good diver will never stop learning. There are so many things to learn about which will give you the necessary confidence in scuba diving. It is therefore essential that you maintain your scuba skills by diving frequently.

The most important factor when it comes to scuba diving safety is that you take proper care of the equipment which is taking care of you when you are underwater. Service your scuba diving equipment at least annually and maintain your gear in good condition. If you own scuba tanks then it is best to pressure tested them every 5 years.

For a detailed check list on scuba diving safety, check out our scuba diving safety rules at http://Scuba-Snorkeling-Adventures.com/scuba-diving-safety-rules.html. These checklists consist of important scuba diving rules which will ensure that you maintain your safety before and during your dives.

Night Snorkeling - Explore new adventures when snorkeling at night

Snorkeling at night can be extremely exciting. This snorkeling activity is in fact my favorite type of snorkeling. The only other activity that may surpass it, in my opinion, is night scuba diving due to the fact that you have more chances to dive deeper, otherwise night snorkeling still gives you the same adrenalin buzz.

So why would anyone try and snorkel at night? It might seem strange and intimidating. Anybody who has tried it will tell you that there is a different world yet to be discovered.

The mystery of snorkeling at night will provide you with a new outlook on your favorite snorkeling site which may have lost its day time charm. At first you will feel slightly anxious... everybody does, its only natural, but then once you get used to it, you will automatically replace your anxiety with excitement, curiosity and a sense of adventure.

At dusk, you will encounter aquatic life that you seldom see during the day, making sight seeing different from what you would usually see during day time. At night the reefs become alive with the different fauna.

There are a number of aquatic creatures that just don't come out in the day time. Nocturnal animals such as lobsters and shrimps become active, coral polyps open up at night to feed giving the reef a fuzzy and colorful sort of look.

You will also experience encountering luminescence microscopic plankton which generate light flashes if disturbed. Should you experience such an encounter, turn off your flashlight and wave your hands through the water. This will provide you with an unforgettable experience as you will see "sparks" igniting around you.. Its a great sensation... Try it, you will be in for a surprise.

Before entering the water - what equipment do I need?

Safe snorkeling is a must, especially when you are snorkeling at night. Therefore be sure that before conducting your night snorkel you are well equipped for the job. The difference to snorkeling during the day is that snorkeling at night requires additional equipment and more planning and preparation.

The most important piece of equipment is an underwater flashlight. The flash light will not only serve to bring out the colors and show you way during your night snorkel but will also make your position known to your snorkeling buddy.

When snorkeling at night, besides carrying a flashlight, I advise you to also consider using chemical lights. These are basically light sticks which use a chemical reaction. These type of lights serve as orientation lights for marking your own and your buddies location. It is wise to strap these lights onto your buoy flag staff. I also find these lights useful for finding my exit points. A snorkeling tip is to place them strategically at the entry points so that you will know where to exit the water. Example if you entered the water from either from land or boat, then strategically place them on the land or boat to guide you for an easy exit.

Another equipment you will find useful during you night snorkeling is a whistle. Attach this to your snorkeling vest and it will act as a signaling device to grab your buddies attentions should you be in an emergency situation. Again, it is important if all your buddies have this piece of equipment at hand.

Gear protection should also be taken into consideration. Protect yourself with an exposure suit, booties and gloves, since you are more likely to get colder due to the cool night air. Another advantage for you using protective gear is that you are also more susceptible to bump into things at night which would cause scrapes and cuts. However remember to take special care as not to damage fragile coral or other aquatic life.

This is an excerpt from an article appearing on Scuba-Snorkeling-Adventures.com. If you want to learn more on night snorkeling including planning and preparation and communication and emergency signals be sure to read the rest of our guide under the Tips and Techniques section of the site at http://Scuba-Snorkeling-Adventures.com/snorkeling-at-night.html.

Investing in Scuba Diving - What Are the Expected Costs to Start Scuba diving?

Scuba diving does not come cheap. In fact it is quite an expensive adventure sport. You have to prepare yourself to invest scuba so before even starting you have to be sure that you are willing to make the commitment. However the experiences that scuba will give you are priceless.

You have to understand that the cost of scuba diving, are segmented into three parts. These are Scuba Diving lessons and scuba diving Certification Costs, scuba diving Equipment and the actual Dives.

To begin with, scuba diving lessons and an accredited scuba diving certification is required before exploring the underwater environment. Expect to pay around 0-0 for the course leading up to the scuba diving certification.

The bulk of your cost of scuba will however be spent on your scuba diving equipment. Be prepared to pay around ,400 to ,000. However if you expect to dive only few times a year, then maybe renting is the wiser choice for you to go. On the other hand if you plan to dive regularly, buying is the only option. Why? Because first of all renting is expensive. Costs vary from about to for a two tank dive.

Besides using equipment that is not yours, somehow does not feel right. If you want to be comfortable with the equipment, which in my opinion leads to successful dives, then buy your own equipment. A tip... Do not skimp on your scuba equipment...remember your life lays in the hands of the equipment you will be using when you scuba, so go for reputable scuba diving equipment manufactures.

So, now let us discuss the cost of scuba diving in terms of each and every piece of scuba diving equipment:
The main piece of your scuba equipment is the air regulator. This is designed to reduce the compressed air within the scuba tank to a level which allows you to breath. The main key to this piece of equipment is reliability. Therefore go for the best regulators out there. Don't skimp on this one, the last thing you want when diving is a regulator failing on you. A cost for a good regulator including the air hoses is around 0 to 0.

The next piece of equipment which is mandatory in scuba is the buoyancy compensator device commonly known as a BCD. This equipment is essential to regulate your buoyancy whilst underwater. Expect to pay around 0 for a good one.

Another equipment is the scuba tank. These range in about 0 to 0 however, the cost in renting the tank is about the same as having your own tanks filled which is approximately to . So in this case it might be wise to just rent them out.

The next part of your scuba equipment are your mask, snorkel and fins. The costs for a good mask ranges about to , a snorkel about , whilst good pair of fins range from to 0.

A Dive computer and a depth gauge are both vital pieces of equipment, if you plan to dive regularly. Dive computers are necessary for monitoring depth and time limits when diving. These cost in the region of 0 to 0 for both pieces of equipment.

Besides to the items listed above, there are several other pieces of scuba equipment you will need for safety and comfort. A wetsuit will be required if you are to dive on moderate to cold waters. These range from 0 to 0. Gloves, boots and hoods may set you back an additional about to each. If you have opted for the wetsuit then you have to also consider getting yourself a weight belt. These are not so expensive and will cost around to .

If you think that this cost of scuba diving is over your budget, you can always buy the scuba diving equipment one piece at time. If this is the better option for you, then I suggest you start of with purchasing the regulator, then the BCD. In this time you can still rent the rest of the equipment however it will be much cheaper now that you own some of your scuba gear. However remember that if you were to buy your scuba diving equipment in bulk you can get some great deals through discounts so maybe the overall costs may be reduced.
