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. The undersea world attracts people to explore the mysterious of the ocean, and the underwater tourism is growing very fast basic on the new technology. Travelers can join this tourism by many different methods, such as underwater restaurant, underwater hotel and underwater activity. There are many travelers will try to have the experience of underwater tourism and spend a lots of many for that. Travelers

Snorkeling is one of the most common underwater activities now base on most people can go snorkeling which has lesser requirements than other underwater activities. The equipment of snorkeling are only a diving tube, a set of flippers and a mask. The people of people snorkeling was that people tried to collect some

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
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.
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.
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. He was born in San Diego, California in 1960 was adopted by Peter and Frances Louganis as a young boy Greg faced a lot of obstacles. He had a very difficult relationship with his father who was abusive towards him in a physical way. Greg was also suffering in the eyes of his peers who would make fun of him because of his dyslexia. Soon he began to head into the direction of sports he figured out that he excelled amazingly in any sport he took dance and gymnastics classes
“People have been diving ever since primitive man was forced to collect food from the sea,” says HawaiiScubaDiving.com (“History of Scuba Diving”, HawaiiScubaDiving.com Internet). Man has always been curious about the underwater world and has sought to explore it. This drove man to come up with new ways to extend his reach into the underwater world and to make the trip less difficult. Over time underwater exploration has been made easier due to man’s passion for exploring a fascinating new underwater world. Inventions such as regulators, self-contained breathing apparatuses, oxygen tanks, neoprene suits, and many more technologies have been used to make underwater exploration as easy and efficient as possible. Scuba diving has evolved into a wide range of advanced technology for the average person to explore a whole new underwater world.
“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.
Swimming has taken on many forms since that time period some reasons include recreationally, utilitarian, combat, scuba diving, swimming races, marathon swimming, and water polo and diving. Recreational swimming has been around since the Greeks and Romans. Young children often learn to swim in a recreational setting with instructors. The water is an unsafe place for some. Swimming in open water occasionally ends in drowning. Since the nineteenth century, swimmers have turned to a supervised area for a safer environment. When learning to swim in North America, younger kids are usually taught “freestyle” or the crawl, while breaststroke is taught in Europe and Asia (MLA 7th Edition).

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.
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
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
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...
