There are about 70% of our earth is covered by water, and people just know a little part of it now. Underwater tourism is an excitement and adventure, and it is also a special tourism concept.

Travelers can join this tourism by many different methods, such as underwater restaurant, underwater hotel and underwater activity.

Moreover, it also require participants to have a great body, because they need to stay underwater for a long time. (The top five scuba diving destinations in the United States are Key Largo, Florida; Maui, Hawaii; Big Island, Hawaii; Florida Spring; Kauai, Hawaii.)
Lastly, sea-walker diving is also a famous activity that provides participants opportunities to observe the underwater world in the underwater tourism industry. Compare to the snorkeling, sea-walker diving can provide tourist more time and chances to observe the marine organism and environment. There are many tourist willing to try sea-walker diving because the participants can join even they don't know swimming. ( Australia’s Great Barrier Reef is one of the most famous seawalker diving destinations of the world because of its high level water
It all began with good intentions. People thinking that they can control these animals and not expect any negative impacts. It was all due to wanting to explore and entertain with the animals. However, not all animals are meant to be taken from the wild to be show animals. After many years of unfair ways, SeaWorld is doing the right thing by closing down the whale exhibit even if it isn’t by choice because it is unhealthy for both the humans and animals involved.
The First five weeks the student’s learn life saving, knot tying, underwater knot tying, basic first aid, and surf passages in small inflatable boats. Along with this is a 50-yard underwater swim, which must be completed and the students are often revived when they pass out. Also throughout out the whole six months of BUD/S (Basic Underwater Demolition School), the Seal Teams go through many torturous events and lessons. One of these being surf torture. This is where the entire class must wade into the surf zone to their waistline, then sit down with arms linked. Just to let you know the water in Coronado, California never gets above sixty-eight degrees during the summer and fifty-eight degrees during the winter. There the men with linked arms will sit there for hours at a time, soon the cold sucks out all of their body warmth and the whole class is shivering in unison as the waves crash over there heads.

In February of 2010, a woman named Dawn Brancheau died while working as an animal trainer at SeaWorld in Orlando, Florida. There has been a large amount of debate about the circumstances surrounding her death—some say she slipped and fell, while others say that she was dragged in by one of the orcas, Tilikum. The controversy over her tragic death brought this question to the surface: should parks like SeaWorld be closed down for safety reasons? While this argument has been going on for a long time, the death of Brancheau spurred a wave of debates about whether the park should be allowed to remain open. On one side, people believe the parks should be shut down and the animals should be released from captivity in an effort to protect the animals and the humans. On the other side of the argument, people believe the parks should be kept open because of the benefits they offer to the world in education and conservation. In light of SeaWorld’s recent transitions, I believe the park should remain open to the public.

Surfing has come a long way since it was first conceived (roughly 1500 years ago). From the Polynesian “watermen” and Hawaiian Kings, to the European takeover in Hawaii and surfing's American debut in the early twentieth century and all the way through present day, surfing has had a rich history. Over the decades, surfing has fit in to a number of roles in society, but whether we surfers are seen as beach-bums or heroes (as of late), we still surf only because we love it, because the ocean’s calls us, because nothing else on this planet can create the sensation felt by riding a wave.
Diving is the sport of jumping or falling into water from a platform or springboard, usually while performing acrobatics. It is said that there are two categories of divers they 're those who perform with magnificent skill, grace, beauty, and courage then there is Greg Louganis.

It doesn’t matter how much faith you have in your swimming skills, the ocean is not the same as freshwater and if you end up in it you will be grateful for your PFD.
“Finding Nemo was without the doubt one of the most successful and memorable Pixar movie, and the art team didn’t leave anything to chance. To understand the underwater world better, they took scuba diving courses in oceanography, marine biology and more.” Earth's oceans and lakes are certainly not meant to be welcoming to visitors on land. Scuba divers and underwater explores face the same difficulties that astronauts face. Equipment is there to ensure that your dive is safe, and there’s most likely always peers to help you out.

My confidence in swimming and snorkelling in the open ocean has remarkably improved over the snorkelling excursions. I now feel more comfortable swimming further out to sea and diving down under rocks and ledges searching for marine life. It was an exciting experience to explore and snorkel
This essay is the respond to the Local Council Member who has wrong idea about a common archetype of adventure tourist. This misconception based on ignorance of current tourism industry, could potentially be a dangerous for local economy and development. The local authority must be well informed about present conditions with the tourism market, before they will make a far reaching decisions about the development direction in this industry. Currently, there are many organisations whose monitoring an international tourism business and this knowledge supposed to be good use for our common good.
Tourism is an important and intricate element to society. It affects economical, social, cultural and environmental elements. Tourism can be argued to have a negative impact on the environment and decrease our already depleting resources, but tourism can also be argued to be a major contributor to strengthening economies, spread cultural traditions and improve people’s lives.

Thinking of surfing brought me to think about my brother who is a surfer. I reminisced about the times he and I had sat quietly in the ocean waiting to see that perfect bump in the horizon. He taught me a great lesson in surfing; you don’t always have to pick the first option because there are more opportunities to
When we took our vacation to Minnesota, we spent most of our time out on the water. Part of the reason for this is the amount of fishing that gets done up there, but another is the water skiing that goes on daily. I am a part of the group that water-skis throughout the day. Although, instead of waterskiing, I will wakeboard. This is basically snowboarding, except you are getting pulled behind a boat while holding onto a regular ski rope, or a
