Mencari Gurita di Alam Liar

Oleh Matthew A. Birk, Ph.D.

Q3/Q4 2021

Gurita bersarang di sarang kecil, sangat pandai berkamuflase dan paling aktif pada malam hari, sehingga tidak semua penyelam pernah melihatnya saat menyelam. Tetapi ahli biologi Matthew Birk, yang mempelajari gurita, merasa bahwa tidak pernah melihat gurita di alam liar merupakan noda dalam kariernya dan berusaha memperbaiki situasi ini dalam perjalanan ke Pulau Santa Catalina di lepas pantai California Selatan.

Gar Waterman: Pemahat Siput Laut

Oleh Patricia Wuest

Q3/Q4 2021

Known for their striking colors, patterns and forms, nudibranchs are found in seas all over the world. Sculptor Gar Waterman’s fascination with these sea slugs extends beyond his aesthetic appreciation for their unique, organic form. Because most nudibranchs have a life span of less than a year and adapt rapidly to changes in their environment, they help scientists understand the impact of global warming on ocean health. With each nudibranch that he has cut, chiseled and polished from stone, Waterman hopes to communicate their quirky beauty and scientific role.

Merayakan Lamun

Oleh Shane Gross

Q3/Q4 2021

Manfaat melindungi lamun tidak dapat dilebih-lebihkan. Lamun memurnikan air, membantu melindungi dari erosi pantai, membantu mempertahankan perikanan skala kecil yang mendukung masyarakat, serta meningkatkan populasi ikan dan keanekaragaman hayati. Lamun menyerap lebih banyak karbon per area daripada hutan darat dan mengurangi pengasaman laut. Lamun yang sehat berarti laut yang lebih sehat.

Modifikasi Keterampilan Penyelamatan

Oleh Haley Davis

Q3/Q4 2021

The required skills in a rescue scenario — which involved a surface swim while providing rescue breaths and removing dive gear from the victim and rescuer — were not coming easily, especially if my dive buddy was larger than me. Techniques for rescue diving seemed suited for people with a different body type and skill set — at 5 feet, 4 inches tall, I am a petite woman. Practicing rescues was challenging at best and near-impossible at worst until a course director taught me techniques and modifications that made rescuing more accessible.

Memanggil Penyelaman

Oleh Tec Clark

Q3/Q4 2021

Calling a dive is not as easy as just giving the thumbs-up signal. There are steps to follow after the signal to cancel a dive. The dive briefing should cover these procedures, and the greater the dive’s potential risk, the more attention to detail the procedures and briefing should have to make calling the dive happen as safely as possible.

Raksasa Lembut Tonga

Oleh Vanessa Mignon

Q3/Q4 2021

Humpback whales feed in polar waters during the summer and then migrate to tropical or subtropical waters to breed during winter. Various locations offer seasonal whale-watching, but swimming with them is legal in only a few places — Tonga is one of them. Every year its warm and sheltered waters provide a nursery for the whales, which gather there between July and October after a long migration from Antarctica.
