Week 6: Item 14

Technorati is another useful tool for scuba divers because it's organized by format. Divers like to see videos and photos of sites, besides narrative. It really helps to get a better understanding of what a dive site is really like. Of course there's the usual extraneous and downright silly, useless stuff too. Example: A man posted his video of his cat, Hawkeye, scuba diving. That's right, a cat went scuba diving in his owner's swimming pool. The man created scuba equipment for the cat and and the cat went diving in the pool with the man for over an hour. Crazy...
There is valid and interesting information too, though. I read on Technorati that the world free diving (NO scuba equipment, just using lung capacity) championships were held last week in Sharm El Sheikh, Egypt, a world class dive site. The winning man has free dived to 112 meters--phenomenal.
