Objective Atlantinde : a treasure hunt in France's mediterranean sea

por Ksso el 02 de mayo de 2011

Objective Atlantide is a treasure hunt that has been around since 1989. Since 2003, a Mediterranean-sea-only version is organized over a period of 3 months. A pack of clay tablets (20000 this year) are scattered on popular spots of France's Mediterranean sea and groups of divers have to work together and find 14 of those to enter the final and have their club win one of the numerous prizes. The clay tablets are dropped at a max depth of 20m (60ft). The hunt just started this week-end, so if you're looking for you next dive, you may consider entering the challenge !

por Ksso el 04 de abril de 2011

It took so much more time and energy than I expected, but we're finally getting there ! Did you thing Diveboard was going to remain only a blog ? Of course not ! And while the blog remains one of the key aspects of diveboard as a way to share and feature interesting stories and interact with the community, it's time today to finally unveil the second side of Diveboard.But maybe a screenshot will help out a bit !As a scuba diver, there are gazillions of things I was missing. First things first, as a Mac geek I've been über frustrated for years to not be able to do anything useful with the dives stored in my Mares M2 - and let's be realistic the Windows software (IRIS) is a joke.

Donate for Japan

por Ksso el 15 de marzo de 2011

What's happening now in Japan goes beyond imaginable. Reactor meltdowns, quakes, radioactive contamination, tsunamis, thousands of deaths ... this all sounds like a bad drama.... yet this time it's real.I won't even talk about the consequences to the ecosystem, as you may remember from the last tsunami that hit Indonesia, those waves do harm the ecosystem, but the impact of a heavy dose of radiation are not well known.Anyway it's time yo support the Japanese Red Cross in their tentative of helping out the people there and donate. If you want to make sure your funds go to the Japanese red cross, you can either do a money transfer or use this form and google checkout.
