Your Guide To Scuba Diving

Many people think that space is our final frontier – and that is not entirely true. While it is more difficult to get to outer space, we probably know more about the various planets and environments in space than we do about what lies beneath the surface of our oceans.

Just as in outer space, there is a whole environment, or ecosystem, under the waters that cover 75% of our planet, with 70% of our planet being ocean waters. Beneath those waters there really is an entirely new world -a world full of beauty and mystery that few humans have the opportunity to experience.

But the lucky few who do have the opportunity to experience this vast unde water world are able to do so because they are scuba divers. Obviously, human beings cannot breathe underwater, so instead, they rely on a portable respiratory system that is self contained.

In fact, that is what the word Scuba means: Self Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus. This apparatus allows human beings to dive to depths that were once unthinkable, and to stay under the water for long periods of time, depending on how full the air tank is. Different mixtures of gasses are used in the air tank, depending on the length and depth of the planned dive.

Forages into this underwater world have become increasingly popular, especially since Scuba diving equipment makes it so easy. Now, if there is an ocean nearby, you can bet there are scuba divers, scuba lessons, and scuba diving clubs in the vicinity as well. There are even scuba diving clubs that are not located near oceans. These clubs plan trips around the world to go scuba diving in different oceans!

When you see the beauty that lives so peacefully under the water, it isn’t any wonder why scuba diving is so popular. In fact, it is a world that is so amazing and breath taking that you will want to make an under water camera part of your essential dive equipment.

While no sport suits everyone, most people who try scuba diving are hooked after their very first dive. Most people are looking forward to their next dive before they ever return home from the last dive. In our fast paced world, scuba diving offers the ultimate in relaxation and stress relief. Imagine a world where there are no phones, no palm pilots – and no rush.

You leave a world that is noisy, and enter a world where the only real noises you will hear are the bubbles from your scuba gear. Full view.  Click here to check it out

Exercise Without Effort

Like most people, you probably know that there are clear, tangible benefits to be gained from taking regular exercise, but, ideally, you would like to take that exercise without effort.

Exercise enables you to burn of the excess calories and thereby either lose weight or prevent extra bulk being added to your body in the first place. It makes you a fitter person as well, and that generally means that your life style will improve - you will have more energy to enjoy everything that you do - and live longer as a result.

The problem for most of us, however, is that (we claim) we do not have the time to take regular exercise, and for many folks, the inspiration or real desire to start exercising is just not there either.

When these people undoubtedly know that exercise is good for them, why should that be? Is it, perhaps, that taking up exercise seems to be far too much like hard work, and don't we do enough of that already?

This all hit home to me the other evening whilst I was reading an excellent new book 'Exercise without effort' that I recently managed to grab a copy of.

The first thing that struck me about the book was the title, which, being honest sounded a little absurd! After all, how can you 'exercise without effort' when effort is work?

However, after reading the book, my viewpoint has changed, and I'm pretty sure that yours would too.

By this I mean that those of us who are not exercise enthusiasts tend to view it as something that is outside our normal daily routine, whereas what the book does is highlight how exercise can (and should) be incorporated into that routine.

In other words, you do not need to go to the gymnasium or fitness club in order to get exercise. It is not necessary to go for a five mile run every morning, nor do you have to spend a small fortune on special training equipment or 'gear'.

'Exercise without effort' focuses on how exercise can be incorporated into you every day routine and how easy it is to do that.

Even if you work stuck behind a desk all day, every day, that is no excuse either, because there are simple, straightforward exercises that you can do even in the office environment that will get you fitter and more healthy in just a matter of days.

Now, before you get the comical image of someone in a singlet and shots prancing around the office doing their calisthenics, trust me, it is nothing like that. In fact, no-one else need even know that you are doing your exercises every day, although I wouldn't mind betting that, once they do and they see how much better you are looking, they'll be clamoring to join you.

Most of the ideas for exercise in the book are low-impact too, meaning that many are just about perfect for everyone, no matter what your physical condition is, or how old you are.

All in all, 'Exercise without effort' is a book that I would recommend to anyone that knows that they should be exercising more, but does not want to make a huge amount of effort to do so.

Getting fitter without killing yourself whilst doing so sounds just about ideal to me, so' Exercise without effort' gets a big thumbs up. Click here to check it out
