Everyone thinks about diving around a tropical island along with a long list of other places but what about diving some of the extreme places.  Antartica being the one of focus here.  What is it like to dive there.  Do you want to dive into the extreme cold.   

Lisa Trotter wrote a book about diving in the Antartica called: Below Freezing: The Antartic Guide.  If you would like to see a review of the book, the people at www.divester.com  have wrote a review of this book.  Click here to read the review.

If you search across the internet you will find different groups that go diving at different points in the Antartic.  Once group that provides a lot of information about their previous dives and how they make the dives is the “Eco Photo Explorers” .  The Eco Photo Explorers are a New York based organization formed in 1994 to help promote public interest in protecting the underwater environment through knowledge and awareness using underwater photography.

They have a lot of interesting information on their website about not just the Antartics but all around the world.  They also write articles and take pictures that end up in a variety of different dive magazines and other media throughout the international dive community. 

http://www.ecophotoexplorers.com/antarctica_diving.asp - Is there individual page about diving the Antartics.  They even give specific information of what equipment they use to dive the extreme cold area.

Check out the Eco Photo Explorers website as well as their information about the Antartics.   They have a lot of good information there.  The next time you feel like getting out of the nice water and diving into an extreme location…. Look for Antartica!

Its hard to talk about a new type of fins. Manufacturers have been revolutionalizing the fin for a long time now. Its all starting to come down to what type of fin you like and is the fin a durable product. Aeris is making a new fin that we here at Dive Websites think you will fall in love with.

The Velocity XP. This fin comes with Areis’s Patented Nature’s Wing® Propeller Fin Technology
This helps improve your speed through out the water. They are claiming that it will help your speed by 30% but compared to other fins its hard to say until you really use them how much you’ll notice the speed change.

The Velocity XP comes with a nice foot cradle, easy buckles and straps… Everything you need to make your dive as comfortable as possible.

You can check them out and order them from http://http://www.diveaeris.com/p_fins_xp.html

I went to the Scuba Show in Long Beach on Sunday, checked out the exhibits and ran into some friends. I’ve been planning on going to the yearly Scuba Show for 5 years but something always comes up. This year, I put the event in my calendar and made myself go to it.  — from www.divester.com
