One of the many doings a Offshore Diver is an experience like no other. An Offshore Diver is a person who works for oil and gas industry. Some divers can travel all over the world, while some can just sit in one area. Our classroom guest speaker, Mr. Romer, is a retired Offshore Diver who now works as a Diver Manager, who teaches others how to dive and one of the many possibilities while being underwater.
When Mr. Romer was still a diver, he traveled all over many areas that included ice. Mr. Romer visited Alaska, the North Pole, And Antarctica. When doing his job, Mr.Romer would go under the ice and make repairs or installation on one of the equipments that create the company he his working for. Sadly, Mr.Romer only made 7.00$ on that job back in the day. More like doing a chore from your parents if you ask me.

One of the reasons were neck problems that were created from wearing a helmet. This helmet was made of metal that helped him breathe underwater and to show people who were on ships to see what they were doing with a camera installed. The helmet was very heavy being out of the water which must of been harder for him when in the water. Also, when Mr. Romer retired and became a Diver Manager, he gained weight and could no longer become a diver unless his weight and body strength was back into place. Another reason is the accidents that may occur when working underwater. When cleaning a machine from reefs or coral, they use a Sandblaster that will shoot the reef and coral off the machine to make it clean. If possible, it may accidently lose control and can either cut you horrifically or decapitate your entire limn off. No
From my research I’ve discovered he loves rock climbing and he went to work as a rock surveyor in 1977 and his boss encouraged him to go back to college because he had a knack for math and engineering. He also tutored a retired navy pilot in mathematics and the pilot encouraged Mr. Herrington to enlist in the Navy. He listened to his friends and went back to college and later joined the navy. Herrington graduated from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs, Colorado. He later went to the United States Naval Academy and graduated with a Master's degree in aeronautical engineering from the Naval Postgraduate School in Monterey, California. He once said “I think a lot of people need to realize that you can fall down, but you have to get back up and keep running.” “ You just have to keep trying.“ Herrington really enjoys math and science and wants all stu...

I was raised in Jacksonville, Florida; “the river city” as most natives call it. As stated by the St. Johns River Water Management Disctrict the city has this nickname because it is home to the largest river in Florida, the St. Johns. The St. Johns is also one of the two rivers in the United States that flows north (2013). Since I was surrounded by it my whole life, activities involving water were very common. One of my family’s favorite things to do is have a fishing tournament for Easter on my grandparents’ dock on the St. Johns River.
Nowadays, it is a very dangerous and risky adventure to take a ship to the Northern Sea. We are so advanced in technology, but still no one wants to risk their lives. The captain and his crew were traveling during the navigation season, but they were facing fog and icebergs on their way. They were stuck in ice and mist for a whole day. Finally, around two o?clock the fog and mist was gone and they could only see the endless ice surrounding them.
...nstrated his ability to climb ladders and to dive. On the surface, he had to walk at least 12 steps, wearing the 290-pound helium/oxygen rig. He was also required to dive in scuba gear and engage in physical training with other dive school students. That physical training included calisthenics and running.
Submerged is book one of the five part Alaskan Courage Series. This novel is about the McKenna family and their experiences and encounters with other characters such as Bailey and Landon. They are trying to solve a murder case that involved a plane crash and a loved one perishing. The title of this well-written book, Submerged, has multiple meanings. “Submerged” could reference the sunken shipwrecks, the feelings of Bailey, and the physical submersion of an island containing a church.
Since ice fishing is a risky activity, it is crucial do certain things before attempting to step over the ice. This article explores five of them as follows.

To me the term dive deep means to keep going on as far as possible. Obstacles will come crashing your path toward success, but you have to keep moving forward. When I was in high school, I joined track and dance. Every day I had difficult tasks to perform. Whether it’s to do pirouettes (an act of spinning on one foot) or running three miles in the rain, I managed to keep pushing myself. Even when I was injured, I kept pushing myself. My coach would always tell us “pain makes you stronger” and it sure
We have all been underwater at some point in life whether it was in a pool, lake, or in the ocean, but that was probably for a short amount of time. With Scuba Diving, you get the opportunity to be underwater for more than 10 minutes at a time without having to worry about things on the surface. With Scuba Diving already having been banned temporarily a while ago in Crater Lake because of concern about the environmental impacts of invasive species to the marine ecosystems, some people think that Scuba Diving could become banned in more places, if nothing is done to combat the problem. Today, I will discuss Scuba Diving and its effect on the environment along with how to make it safer for the environment. During this past year, I learned to scuba dive and was certified for Scuba Diving at Neptune Dive and Ski. Today, I will discuss the effect of Scuba Diving on the environment through my research, product, and learning stretch. The first task that I was faced with was gathering information about Scuba Diving and researching the problem and the multiple ways to resolve the problem that it has on the environment. I researched the problem and ways to resolve the problem that Scuba Diving has on the environment, with my thesis focusing on how Scuba Diving although damaging to marine life and plants, could with the proper training be one of the best helpers of the present and for the future of the ocean life. Scuba Divers go into some of the nicest bodies of water in the world with the intent to observe and interact with the environment that is beneath the water. However, some Scuba Divers lack the proper training and knowledge necessary to dive in the water safely and carefully. Scuba Diving is meant for recreational use and for educat...
