Dangers of Underwater Exploration There are over fifty careers that have a sort of connection to underwater exploration. Many people explore for a living and others only for personal interest such as scuba diving. There have been many theories about objects getting lost in the ocean and many people go deep in the ocean to find them. For example, the lost land of Atlantis is said to have silver and gold (Drye). Based on Plato’s writings, philosophers say that as punishment to the…

makes it appear as they are sunbathing swimming on their side, hence the name “sunfish”. These two discoveries for me were uncanny compared to any experience I've had especially deep sea diving. Having spent nearly the entire stay in South Carolina underwater i decided it might be time to view the wildlife in the national parks as well. To really get a full grasp on the environment this great state held. Having asked around the local dive instructors and a few tourists i had a chance to meet…

Underwater Reverie in the Deep Sea As an underwater cave’s ominous mysteries are explored, the fish start to play. The stalagmites’ aged decay brings whimsy in a way that’s impossible to find elsewhere. A lone scuba divers shines a light forward, while normally he would be uncomfortable, he is in awe.

ases is the sum of the pressures exerted by each of the gases. This is pretty straight forward. It becomes most useful for anyone qualified to fill a scuba cylinder. Lets say your target working pressure is 3000 psi (206 bar) for a typical SCUBA cylinder fill. Normally, you would take the air from the room you are standing in, compress it down, and pump it into a cylinder. Some people prefer the use of different breathing gases.

with others. My placements during my college years in the Developmental Services Worker program took this group interaction to another level where the significance of being part of team took on a whole new meaning as I applied my education to real life experiences and grew in knowledge and as a person. My team experience working with Autistic children in a classroom situation was a very positive one. I was excited that I would finally get to work with the children in the field I had…

My leadership journey started a long time ago, when at the age of four I began to realize that my youngest brother was looking at me as a role model. He was mimicking everything I was doing and saying. At this young age I didn’t understand the tenets of leadership but I understood that I had to set an example because someone was following me. Since then, I further developed my commitment to helping people to excel, providing guidance with necessary and collaborating with people. My journey…

Working in a team is a practice as old as the first human relationships, in which we collude with other individuals in order to achieve a common goal, and ultimately share both the success and failures of the operation (Buchanan and Huczynski 2011). However, working in a team is a difficult practice where there are many individuals with different ideas, all of them wanting to implement their own methods to attain that final, common goal. Differences in morals, culture, principles and…
