April 24, 2008
with a long, slender peninsula forming its trunk, Thailand offers dive opportunities in two distinct bodies of water: the Gulf of Thailand to the east and the Andaman Sea to the west. The Gulf is known for abundant marine life and the laidback dive hub of Koh Samui, but it’s hard to beat the Andaman Sea for clear seas, spectacular reefs and animal encounters. Many divers opt for day trips to the Andaman Sea out of Phuket, an island in the southern reaches of the country, but to get to the sea’s unspoiled reefs and islands, live-aboards are a must–and there are literally hundreds of them plying these waters. Perhaps the number-one destination for live-aboards is the Similan Islands, a chain of nine granite islands rimmed with white sand beaches. Farther north are the Burma Banks, a series of seamounts rising from 1,000-foot depths to just below the surface, and the Mergui Archipelago. Though part of neighboring Myanmar, the lush Mergui Archipelago is a geologic continuation of the reef structure and islands of the eastern Andaman. For the entire Andaman Sea area, conditions are best between November and March, when you can count on sunny skies, balmy breezes and moderate temperatures.

Dive tables
April 22, 2008Dive Tables, Decompression Tables or Tables are printed cards or booklets that allow divers to determine for a particular dive profile and breathing gas, the Decompression stops required for that dive in order to avoid decompression sickness.
With dive tables, it is assumed that the dive profile is a square dive, meaning that the diver descends to maximum depth immediately and stays at the same depth until resurfacing (approximating a rectangular line when drawn in a coordinate system where one axis is depth and the other is duration). Some dive tables also assume physical condition or qualifications of the diver, e.g., Navy dive tables should not be used by recreational divers.
More complex tables can take into account staged dives, dives performed at altitude, and decompression dives
Fiji
April 22, 2008
may be Fiji’s signature dive attraction, but there’s much more to the underwater story here. With more than 320 islands to choose from, divers never run out of options. The largest island of Viti Levu offers easy access to the widest range of sites (including the world-famous Beqa Lagoon and the shark encounters off Pacific Harbour) and has the most extensive diving infrastructure. Vanua Levu and Taveuni, to the north, feature otherworldly walls of snowy soft coral. And the smaller islands of the Yasawas, the Lau Group, the Mamanucas, the Lomaivitis and Kadavu each have a distinct underwater appeal. Acres of plate and staghorn corals have colonized the Yasawas and Mamanucas, considered to have some of the best vis in all Fiji. The bommies off the outer Lomaivitis are known for pelagics drawn to their shoals of baitfish, and the Great Astrolabe Reef of Kadavu is a top spot for big animal encounters.
Wild Wadi Water Park
April 21, 2008
The Wild Wadi Water Park is situated in Jumeirah, an area in Dubai, United Arab Emirates next to the Burj Al Arab and the Jumeirah Beach Hotel. The water park is operated by Jumeirah International, a Dubai-based hotelier.
Wild Wadi is an outdoor water park with a heated/cooled wave pool, multiple water slides and two artificial surfing machines. In addition, the park has the largest water slide outside of North America. Another feature of the park is an 18 m (59 ft) waterfall that goes off every ten minutes. The water park also has two gift shops, three restaurants and two snack stands.
It was featured in The Amazing Race 5 and The Amazing Race Asia 1, in which teams had to slide down a 21 m (69 ft) drop.

The Kuwait Scientific Center
April 20, 2008
The Kuwait Scientific Center is a huge complex built right on the waterfront. It includes all the following attractions: an IMAX 3D cinema, an Aquarium, a Discovery Place, the Dhow Harbour and the Salmiyyah Fishing Piers. Also included are a Gift Shop and the Scientific Center Restaurant. All of these are located within this complex. However, each one has a separate entry fee. It costs nothing to enter the complex itself; however, separate entrance fees are required to enter the Aquarium, the Discovery Place and the IMAX cinema.
Panama
April 20, 2008
but anyone who thinks the Big Dig is all there is to life in this jewel of a country is seriously missing out. Though it’s barely the size of South Carolina, Panama offers miles of coastline along two oceans, forest-draped highlands, spectacular islands and the dense and mysterious Darien Gap. Divers have a wealth of options, and often head for the healthy coral reefs that line the Atlantic coast. The Pacific coast, on the other hand, offers many opportunities for big animal encounters, especially in the waters around Coiba and the Pearl Islands (the archipelago now well known for its starring role on Survivor).
Due to its privileged geographic location at the crossroads of two continents and two oceans, Panama has extraordinary biodiversity, both under water and above. Since the isthmus is just 50 miles across at its narrowest point, divers have the unique opportunity of diving both the Pacific and the Atlantic in a single trip; ambitious divers can hit both bodies of water in a single day. One of the highlights of Pacific coast diving is Coiba, a former penal colony that, at 200 square miles, is Panama’s largest island. The best diving here is around a series of rocky pinnacles, some of which break the surface while others come to only within 100 feet of it. Because different Pacific currents converge near Coiba, marine life ranges from jacks, snappers and turtles–all fairly sure things–to less reliable but more heart-pounding sightings: humpback whales, hammerhead sharks, and, in winter months, the occasional whale shark.
