Fish round-up : the Butterflyfish

por Ksso el 28 de septiembre de 2011

I love Butterflyfish, they usually come in pairs and are kind enough to swim into the bule letting you take cool shots at them. Butterflyfish are part of the Chaetodontidae family which counts about 10 genera and 114 species. As described by the University of Michigan,members of this family vary considerably in terms of color, but all butterflyfishes share certain morphological traits such as a deep, laterally compressed body, ctenoid scales that extend onto the soft-rayed portions of the dorsal and anal fins, and jaws that may be slightly or extremely elongated. They can measure up to 30cm although the typical butterflyfish is more around 20cm and usually can be seen around 15-30m...

Fish round-up: Meet the boss : the Triggerfish

Diveboard feature updates : "Blazing Fast" dive edition, power to the users !

por Ksso el 06 de septiembre de 2011

This update has been on our mind for a very, very, very long time. We've been frustrated by the limitations of the dive editor wizard we had in place:

too little space to let us add more data kinds

too little flexibility to rearrange the data and make it both easier to read and manage while giving it more depth for advanced users

too slow to load (for some stupid reason it was loaded on demand instead of being pre-loaded within the page)

We broke it all to give you a totally rebuild and blazing fast dive editor with plenty of space to arrange the data in a readable way.To date the features are the same as with the previous editor, but with speed, and we're now busy at growing them.Aside...
