Diving Technology – Sharks Finned Alive – IndonesiaBy Dave Moran
As the team here put the finishing touches to this issue I could not help but reflect on the huge diversity of activities that divers participate in and also man’s sometimes stubborn attitude as to the way he treats the environment. The diving adventures that rebreather technology has opened up for divers who are seeking to experience the discoveries of diving beyond the diving capabilities of normal scuba air diving is expanding at an amazing rate.

Deep Indonesia 2008’s main goal was to be a meeting place for exhibitors and visiting public so that the potential of Indonesia’s diving, adventure travel and water sports industries would be recognized. For me the Show did that and more. The emphasis on providing information about the marine environment and the need for strong conservation measures was outstanding. It was very gratifying to see the support of government agencies promoting a change in the way people and industries are thinking about the environment both above and below the water. MoreCorrective Lenses Underwater
Many divers require correction lenses for diving. In the lower light conditions prevalent under water the diver’s pupils open to allow more light into the eye. Underwater, therefore, uncorrected vision is worse than in the brighter conditions above the surface.This usually means that a diver’s vision underwater without correction is worse than on the surface similarly uncorrected.

When II think of Indonesia my mind pictures a culture that has survived thousands of years, ancient temples, exotic foods, bewildering spaghetti traffic and beautiful women! But it also pictures scenes of absolute stunning colour that coats what is regarded as the planet’s most complex and diverse marine ecosystem, commonly known as the Coral Triangle. 
Your divemask is perhaps the most important piece of your diving equipment. It is responsible for your security and safety. Remember to treat both your vision and mask amongst your most precious possessions.
On 27 January 1999 Tim Cashman and Dave Apperley did what many divers had fantasized about for years. They dived to 121 metres and swam around the remains of Ocean Liner RMS Niagara which lies off the Hen and Chicken Islands off New Zealand’s North Island’s East Coast. The Niagara was a victim of WWII when on 19 June 1940 she struck a mine laid by the German auxiliary cruiser Orion. She took 590 bars, of gold to the bottom of the Hauraki Gulf. I caught up with Tim when he returned to further explore the wreck. (See June/July 2007 Issue # 100 for the full story of this latest Niagara expedition and Issue February/March 2008 Issue #104 for the RMS Carpathia at 150m).
