Scuba
What scuba has contributed to our conquest of the ocean is already enormous.
To professional students of the sea it is nearly as important an invention as the printing press, and to amateurs it has been no less liberating.
With the simpler but equally important devices of face-plate and fins, it has made diving one of the great participant sports of our generation, and one of the great sources of education.
Amateur divers have made underwater photography, once the specialty of a few highly trained specialists, a mass hobby.
They have discovered new species of marine life. They have probed the wrecked skeletons of ships that otherwise might have been lost to history.
But our weapons of exploration and discovery are still just partially successful. The knowledge they give us is intimate but not deep.
We still know almost nothing about most of the 140 million square miles of ocean that surround us, of the shape and history of the continents they conceal, of their immeasurable and untapped resources, of their relationship to life itself.
Perhaps some day we will. The sea gives up its secrets slowly.
The history of diving is largely the story of equipment. The introduction of face-mask, fins and snorkel in the '30's planted the divers' flag firmly in underwater territory.
Exposure suits added new dimensions of area and season. And finally the demand-regulator lung took thousands of divers to depths that until then had been the exclusive province of men with hard hats and air lines.
But scuba has not made the mask-fin-snorkel combination obsolete.
If there's one opinion that all diving experts share, it's that nobody should simply strap on scuba and plunge, with no previous underwater experience.
Scuba should not provide anyone with his first look at the world under the surface. Before you bet your life on your ability to handle a lung, you should become a competent skin-diver—with mask, fins and snorkel as your only gear.
This is no mere dull preliminary chore. Actually, many of the top divers, hunters and photographers prefer to use the basic trio and rarely or never use lungs.
Besides, you can do things with just a mask that simply aren't possible with scuba.

Re: LA Times article on skipping breakfast
If you measure the shoe size and the level of literacy based on a random sample of people you'll find that smaller size is predictive of illiteracy. Now, that's hard data. An explanation that children who are yet to learn how to read are driving the shoe size/illiteracy correlation would be adding a layer

Best Dive Sites on the Planet
Diving is perhaps one of a few activities that integrates excitement with serenity and relaxation. This is why it has become a favorite hobby all around the world.
The activity gives traveling a whole new meaning. It allows a person to be able to have a new perspective about how he relates to this surroundings and to the planet in general. Diving in the best dive sites in the world is one of the common dreams that are shared by thousands of diving enthusiasts out there.
This article tries to give some narrative pictures about some of the best dives sites in the world. The totality of a certain dive should be seen to be able to appreciate it. One shouldn't look at a dive site in terms of the aquatic wild life, or the clarity of the water, but he should also look in to the history and the culture that is embedded in the waters.
Yongala
The Yongala dive site is perhaps the best dive site in Australia, or perhaps in the world. It is actually a shipwreck and the stories behind it are what make it a very good dive site.
In the early 1900’s, the ship was wrecked by a magnanimous cyclone in Queensland. The unfortunate event cost more than a hundred people and a famous racehorse. The 109 m. long shipwreck was officially protected as a historical site during the 1980s.
As one diver puts it- “The Yongala is all about the fish!” One can see teeming aquatic life beneath the surface of the site’s waters. Sea snakes, manta rays, turtles, octopuses, tiger and bull sharks, corals, you name it, the Yongala has it.
For those people who are interested in taking a peek inside the shipwreck, there’s some bad news. Divers are forbidden to enter the ship and it would cost him a lot if he breaks this rule. The mystery of the shipwreck adds up to the value of the dive site.
Tubbataha
The Tubbataha reef in the Philippines is also a very popular diving destination. Why? Because the biodiversity in this dive site can compete with any of the dive sites in the world. The Tubbataha reef, in fact, was named as one of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization’s World Heritage Sites in 1994.
If you want to take a dip in the Tubbataha reefs, then you should set your schedule ahead of time because the diving season in the reef is only from the middle of March up to the middle of June. This is to protect the vast amounts of fish species that feed on the reef during the other times of the year.
Barracuda Point
It is a dive site that is located in the small island called Sipadan which is near Sabbah. One will have to take a boat ride from Semporna which will take about an hour to get to the dive site.
Divers love this spot because of the swarming schools of fish (especially the barracudas) that swims around. A negative comment about it is that the currents can be too strong sometimes but nonetheless, it’s one great dive site.
The best time to dive at the Barracuda Point is from December to February.
Florida Keys
Perhaps the best dive site in the United States is the Florida keys. The main reason why divers go here is that it has the longest reef in the western world. The waters are crystal clear down to more than a hundred feet. There are around 500 shipwrecks which can be explored. There’s also an underwater hotel! Would you believe that?
There are many entities within the area which can help you with your diving needs. You can hire a professional guide or rent video equipment from the nearby shops at the dive sites.
Illes Medes
Illes Medes is located in L’Estartit in Spain, Costa Brava, Spain. It is approximately 135 kilometers from Barcelona. The temperatures here are very conducive for diving. The fish here are somewhat friendly because they aren't that scared of humans and they actually come close to the divers. The peak season for diving here is August.
These are just some of the wonderful dive sites in the world. Take your pick now and dive your way towards the heavens under the seas.
