La Jolla Shores City of San Diego Lifeguard services provides public safety along San Diego s beach near the foot of Vallecitos is heavily used by scuba diving classes. http://www.sandiego.gov/lifeguards/beaches/shores.shtml
Extractions: Description: La Jolla Shores (8200 Camino del Oro) is a sandy beach approximately one mile long, adjacent to a residential area. In summer, waves at this beach are usually the most gentle of all San Diego beaches, although rip currents may still be strong at times. For this reason, many novice scuba classes are held at La Jolla Shores. Kellogg Park, a grassy area, is located behind the main lifeguard station and is ideal for picnicking. A wide cement boardwalk parallels a portion of the beach between the park and the sand. La Jolla Shores lies adjacent to the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Ecological Reserve. Fishing and removal of objects from this area is prohibited. At the north end of this beach lies the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Scripps Pier. The pier is not open to the public, but the Steven Birch Aquarium is within 1/2 mile of La Jolla Shores and is open daily. La Jolla Shores has the only beachfront boat launch within City limits. Small vessels can be launched directly into the surf at the foot of Avenida de la Playa, approximately 300 yards south of the lifeguard station. This is an unimproved boat launch and vehicles are allowed to drive on the sand in a very limited area at five miles per hour or less. Four wheel drive is highly recommended. Lifeguard Protection: A permanent lifeguard station is located adjacent to the main parking lot at the foot of Calle Frescota. This station is generally staffed daily from 9:00 a.m. to near dusk. Closing hours vary based on time of year. Check at the lifeguard station for further details.

Extractions: PURPOSE 1. This order prescribes the organization, responsibilities and procedures related to operational diving within the Canadian Forces (CF). GENERAL 2. Diving in the CF is performed by several units of Maritime, Land Force and Air Commands to meet a wide variety of operational and training commitments. While the primary tasks of each diving unit are determined by the roles of its command, there is nevertheless, considerable interaction among commands with respect to diving training, inspections, operational evaluations, maintenance of diving equipment and procurement of new equipment, diving-medical standards and treatment of diving accidents. This order provides administrative guidelines applicable to all units and headquarters involved with diving in the CF. 3. This order consists of four sections as follows: a.

Extractions: Deciding to renovate an older pool facility, or to build a new aquatic complex whether a traditional pool, world class natatorium, community leisure center, or waterpark; are major decisions which will require inordinate amounts of staff time and enormous capital commitments. Major errors in design which are overlooked in the early stages of the design and planning process can be disastrous and cause astronomical costs overruns. Even minor design errors will influence the operation of your facility and safety of your patrons for years to come. Doesnt it make sense to include an aquatic consultant as a member of your project committee, along with your architect, engineers, and contractors? Aquatic Consulting Services can assist you in building the pool of your dreams, by: Conducting an in depth study of current and future program needs Reviewing project feasibility studies Developing conceptual plans of the facility which will meet your programming needs in collaboration with your architect Providing project design data sheets to help you prioritize your goals and design needs Educating the design team about available options for: decking, barriers, pumps, motors and hydraulic requirements, filter systems, pool layout and dimensions, alternative sanitizers and oxidizers, chemicals, signage and warnings, handicapped accessibility, pool alarm systems, energy efficient pool lighting, hazardous materials regulations, pool surface options, deck equipment and hardware, diving boards, platforms and starting blocks, water features, maintenance equipment, chemical metering pumps, automatic chemical controllers, heaters, dehumidification equipment, pool blankets, movable floors and bulkheads, space requirements, saunas, steam rooms and spas, play elements, and locker room design
Pupukea Site scuba diving conditions improve farther out at depths of 30 to 45 feet. Under current regulations, poleand-line fishing for fin fish is permitted from http://cramp.wcc.hawaii.edu/Study_Sites/Oahu/Pupukea/
Extractions: Aerial photo of Pupukea area and Waimea Bay (1993 NOAA image courtesy of Steve Rohmann). Encrusting corals dominate colonized hard bottom in this high wave energy environment. Photo by Paul L. Jokiel. The coral reef communities along this north-facing shore are poorly developed due to the large swell that strikes this coast during the winter months. Coral cover is relatively low and consists mainly of encrusting species that are wave resistant. The most common corals are Porites lobata and Pocillopora meandrina . Encrusting corals such as Leptastrea purpurea Pavona varians and Montiora flabellata are found throughout the area.

Extractions: Chief Scientist, Mike Overfield, from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), compares a drawing of the USS Alligator, the Navy's first submarine, to an anomaly seen on video taken from the camera of the Nova Ray model 3500. (U.S. Navy Photograph by Chief Journalist John F. Williams) (Click on the image for a large version) My day began at 4:15 A.M. when I woke to board the research vessel at 5:00 A.M. I was a little groggy from traveling the day before and a bit nervous about how rough the sea would be because of a thunderstorm that was raging when I awoke. The storm quickly passed as the crew assembled on the deck of the research vessel to be briefed about activities for the day. My expectations were high with the hope that we might discover the Alligator today. At 6:00 A.M., YP679 set out to sea. The plans for the day included stops at several promising targets that were detected earlier in the week by side scan sonar and the magnetometer. Our first stop was a known wreck, the Dixie Arrow, where I had the opportunity to help lay line for the side scan sonar and magnetometer to be towed behind YP679. We had a quick pass of the sunken vessel before the site became crowded with recreational divers. The decision was made to pull-in the instruments that were in tow. A number of crewmembers are required to pull these instruments in, including myself. I have a new appreciation for crabbers in Alaska who pull and set crab pots for weeks at a time in rough seas.

New Jersey Scuba Diver - Marine Biology - Introduction This is often noted by land biologists, but for scuba divers it is equally true oceanography. Classification of Marine Organisms A Brief History of http://www.njscuba.net/biology/
Extractions: Courtesy of Jacques Cousteau National Estuarine Research Reserve Here is a guide to the most common and eye-catching sea life that you may run across while Scuba diving the shipwrecks, beaches, rivers, inlets artificial reefs , and inland sites of New Jersey and Long Island. Included here are representative species of fish, birds, mammals, reptiles, shellfish ( crustaceans and mollusks, ) invertebrates, plants, and algae, as well as the liquid and solid environments they live in. There should be enough here to identify almost anything you find. New Jersey is actually in an exceptional location for biological diversity. It is at the extreme southern range limit of many northern species, and the extreme northern range limit of many southern species. This is often noted by land biologists, but for scuba divers it is equally true under the water. In addition to this, many strictly tropical species are swept into the area by the Gulf Stream, and can be found later in the season until the winter cold kills them. Add to that the planktonic larvae of many northern species that are carried south in the on-shore currents to settle and grow in our waters, and you have an enormous diversity for your study or amusement.
