Scubaversity Newsletter
June/July 2012

Hello there!  

 

I think we are all in agreement about missing the normal Joburg weather, sweaty, sunny days! One way of escaping this miserable weather is to join us at Malongane, we just came back from an awesome Sodwana trip where the weather was warm the seas were flat and the viz 30m - not a word of a lie! Resulting in great diving and awesome fun!

What kids have to say about the ocean...

 

  • Oysters' balls are called pearls. (Jerry, age 6)
  • If you are surrounded by ocean you are an Island. If you don't have ocean all round you, you are incontinent. (Wayne, age 7)     
  • Sharks are ugly and mean, and have big teeth, just like Emily Richardson. She's not my friend any more. (Kylie, age 6)A dolphin breaths through an asshole on the top of its head. (Billy, age 8)
  • My uncle goes out in his boat with 2 other men and a woman and pots and comes back with crabs. (Millie, age 6)
  • When ships had sails, they used to use the trade winds to cross the ocean.
  • Sometimes when the wind didn't blow the sailors would whistle to make the wind come. My brother said they would have been better off eating beans. (William, age 7)
  • Mermaids live in the ocean. I like mermaids. They are beautiful and I like their shiny tails, but how on earth do mermaids get pregnant.   Like, really? (Helen, age 6)
  • I'm not going to write about the ocean. My baby brother is always crying, my Dad  k keeps yelling at my Mom, and my big sister has just got pregnant, so I can't think what to write. (Amy, age 6)
  • Some fish are dangerous. Jellyfish can sting. Electric eels can give you a shock.
  • They have to live in caves under the sea where I think they have to plug themselves into chargers. (Christopher, age 7)
  • When you go swimming in the ocean, it is very cold, and it makes my willy small. (Kevin, age 6)
  • Divers have to be safe when they go under the water.  Divers can't go down alone, so they have to go down on each other. (Becky, age 8)
  • On vacation my Mom went water skiing. She fell off when she was going very fast. She says she won't do it again because water fired right up her fanny. (Julie, age 7)
  • The ocean is made up of water and fish. Why the fish don't drown I don't know. (Bobby, age 6)
  • My dad was a sailor on the ocean. He knows all about the ocean. What he doesn't know is why he quit being a sailor and married my mom. (James, age 7)  
How Regulators Work
Night SpecialtyYou cannot breathe directly out of the tank because the high pressure would damage your lungs. Therefore, the cylinder is fitted with a regulator. The regulator does two things: It reduces the pressure from the tank to a safe level for you to inhale, and it supplies air on-demand. To accomplish these tasks, regulators have two stages...
