     <title>Dive Travel Deal: Stuart Coves Shark Adventure, Bahamas, OTHER, Bahamas</title>
     <link>http://feeds.scuba.com/~r/scubatravel/~3/iyVsjp8-m8k/DiveTravelSpecials.asp_ID_136</link>
     <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;November 18 - December 31 2009 Stuart Coves Shark Adventure, Bahamas, OTHER, Bahamas&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Your first dive is a "Free Swim" with the sharks on a magnificent wall. The sharks will follow you throughout the dive because we are close to our feeding site and they know the dinner bell will ring soon. However, no bait is exposed on this dive. This keeps the sharks curious and creates a very natural encounter for divers - just as you would encounter a shark in the wild. 

Your second dive is a shark feeding dive. Unlike ordinary dives - you will spend this dive kneeling on the sand bottom. Divers form a semi-circle in front of our professional shark feeder who will place a bait box. Your feeder utilizes this bait box and a pole spear to control the release of food which influences the sharks behavior. While novice shark divers may not notice it - during the shark feeding dives your feeder tries to keep the sharks in a "polite" feeding posture. However be warned - the sharks will come close - very close - but they are more interested in the bait than you!

Hugely popular, these presentations often have standing room only despite being able to seat more than 500 people.With hundreds of new ideas on the exhibition floor — plus the opportunity to try out and purchase the latest kit — theres no better place to go for diving information, advice and inspiration.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scubatravel/~4/wC5Qa_7Qp9Y" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

     <title>California Coastal Cleanup Day</title>
     <link>http://feeds.scuba.com/~r/scubatravel/~3/2-5UpYNROIc/eventcalendar.asp_ID_229</link>
     <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scuba Diving Event September 19: Los Angeles County Area Beaches, CA, USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Be a part of the largest volunteer day on the planet!     Coastal Cleanup Day (CCD) began in 1985 and has grown into a huge annual event. Every state with a coastline participates, including the Great Lakes states, and even some inland states clean river and lake shores. The one-day cleanup is international—at last count, over 60 nations participated—and may be the largest volunteer day on the planet.  Heal the Bay and the Los Angeles County Department of Beaches and Harbors are the Los Angeles County coordinators for the state of Californias Coastal Cleanup Day. We bring out over 10,000 volunteers to cleanup sites each year in L.A. County to over 50 sites along Santa Monica Bay and along inland creeks and waterways. Please see the sidebar on the right for information about the next Coastal Cleanup Day in Los Angeles County.  Coastal Cleanup Day involves individuals, schools, community and company volunteer groups. Volunteers in Los Angeles County typically collect tens of thousands of pounds of trash and recyclables during a three-hour period. By filling out the trash "data cards" during the cleanup, volunteers are helping to identify and stop polluters in the future.     Most people clean at the beach and on foot, but there are also special cleanups for inland creeks, boaters, kayakers, and divers. By far the most common item picked up are cigarette butts. Some of the more unusual items found in recent years were a chandelier, a briefcase full of graham crackers, and a bridal gown.  Coastal Cleanup Day is held annually on the third Saturday of September. Please see the sidebar on the right-side of this page for details about the next Coastal Cleanup Day in Los Angeles County. For other California locations, please visit the    California Coastal Commission website   .     F  or more information, contact us at (800) COAST-4U or  coast4u@coastal.ca.gov . Join us on Saturday, September 20, from 9 a.m. to Noon for the 24th Annual California Coastal Cleanup Day&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scubatravel/~4/2-5UpYNROIc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

     <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scuba Diving Event August 20 - August 22: Orlando, FL, USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Welcome to Surf Expo, where since 1976, manufacturers and retailers in the surf, skate, water sports, swim and resort industries have come together in a business-first buying and selling environment.  Surf Expo traces its beginnings to a 1975 board meeting of the Eastern Surf Association when a group of ambitious sales reps rented out rooms to show their lines to the buyers who had congregated in Virginia Beach, VA, to attend the meeting. The following year, Ross Houston, a board member, decided to make this more than just a “show and tell” and launched the first Surf Expo at Cocoa Beach’s Cape Colony Hotel. By its fifth year, Surf Expo moved into Orlando’s Tupperware Auditorium with 150 booths.

     <title>Dive Travel Deal: The Maldives Aggressor, Maldives, OTHER, Maldives</title>
     <link>http://feeds.scuba.com/~r/scubatravel/~3/P0ZGJyDDNhI/DiveTravelSpecials.asp_ID_97</link>
     <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;July 5 - August 23 2009 The Maldives Aggressor, Maldives, OTHER, Maldives&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The Maldives Islands lie Southwest of India. Scattered across the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, the gem-like islands of the Maldives depict the rare vision of a tropical paradise. Palm fringed islands with sparkling white beaches, turquoise lagoons, clear warm waters and coral reefs teeming with abundant varieties of marine flora and fauna, fascinates visitors as it has for thousands of years. 

There are three distinctly different types of diving: inside the atolls, outside the atolls and inside the channels or passes, which is where the currents are strongest and youll find the greatest congregation of fish life. Most intriguing are the cleaning stations, found around every corner and under every ledge. Groupers, Snappers, Surgeonfish, Eels, Parrotfish, even Giant Napoleon Wrasse park casually in corners, oblivious to all, (including cameras) while armies of wrasse, shrimp and other assorted cleaners pick at debris in their open gills and cavernous mouths. 

The big attraction, however, are the schools of fish that patrol the reefs in colorful packs: Humpback and Black and White Snappers, Trevally Jacks, Barracuda, Batfish, Unicornfish, Yellowback Fusiliers and Harlequin Sweetlips almost comical in design. The reefs larger inhabitants, including sharks, rays and occasionally even Whale Sharks, are often seen cruising in the blue.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;img src="http://www.scuba.com/resources/images/travelspecialsthumb.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scubatravel/~4/P0ZGJyDDNhI" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>

     <title>Catalina Chamber Day/Evening 2009</title>
     <link>http://feeds.scuba.com/~r/scubatravel/~3/dmTlOnJdyWc/eventcalendar.asp_ID_47</link>
     <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Scuba Diving Event May 6: , CA, USA&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;as you may or may not know, the catalina chamber is dedicated strictly to the treatment of diving accidents on a 24/7/365 basis. although we hope you’ll never need it, having the chamber available gives divers a vital safety net in the event something should go wrong with your dive. although there is a grant from la county, and the chamber gets income from some outside activities, chamber day provides a significant portion (close to 50%) of the chamber’s annual budget.  the main event is  chamber day , a full day of diving (two dives) at catalina plus a walking tour of the chamber at the isthmus. cost for this is $90 (plus $30 for food &amp;amp airfills) which gets you the diving, the tour, a t-shirt, and five raffle tickets.  for those who can’t take a day off but would still like to participate we have the  flying dutchman , a mythical boat but a big part of chamber day as it’s the perfect place for those who can’t do the event. those who choose to “dive” the dutchman get a special limited-edition t-shirt (available only to those who sign up for the dutchman) as well as raffle tickets.  there’s also the  chamber challenge , where the diving community is “challenged” to raise extra funds for our chamber, through specific donations (usually $100, but also $500 and $1000), which then hopefully challenges your friends to match your generosity.  r affle tickets  can be purchased for the daytime raffle (you need not be present to win) whether you’re going on a boat or just want a chance at winning some fabulous prizes.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/scubatravel/~4/dmTlOnJdyWc" height="1" width="1"/&gt;</description>
