Poseidon introduces its new family member, the Poseidon Tech at Rebreather Forum 3 in Orlando, Florida. The world’s first rebreather to have a fully automatic bailout system, the Poseidon Tech features a redundant back-up rebreather with fully automatic switching. In brief, you can say it’s two rebreathers in one.
In the event of a malfunction, the Poseidon Tech’s safety system switches from the primary to secondary rebreather without missing a breath – or you missing a beat. With a secondary dive computer, nothing gets lost in the switch. This gives the diver time to evaluate the situation, enabling them to make better decisions. The diver can then make manual additions to the system, or leave the system in automatic mode.

"Divers will be able to explore the remains of an original Elizabethan shipwreck which is set to be lowered into a lake.
The remains of the 16th-century "Gresham Ship" are to be moved to the Stoney Cove National Diving Centre in Leicestershire more than 400 years after it sank in the River Thames.
The move will be co-ordinated by the Nautical Archaeological Society, which will use the ship as an "underwater classroom" to train the next generation of nautical archaeologists." 
Recently, a student diver asked me for tips on how to reduce his air consumption in order to enjoy longer dives on a single tank. This got me thinking back a bit. I realized that during basic open ... 
(DiverWire) Earlier this week, local business leaders joined shipwreck enthusiasts for a ceremonial 10th anniversary dive on the 510-foot Spiegel Grove wreck, the former U.S. Navy landing ship dock that has been transformed into a massive artificial reef, six miles off Key Largo. They also took time out to lay the ashes of Tom Maher, 54, a researcher who gathered economic data on the Spiegel Grove’s role as a dive attraction. Maher died last year of a heart attack and had requested the wreck as his final resting place.

PARIS - The wreck of the Atlantic liner Titanic will this month come under UNESCO protection, as it has now lain at the bottom of the Atlantic for 100 years, the United Nations cultural body said Thursday.

In the cool waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean lies the California spiny lobster. The California spiny lobster is an irreplaceable member of the kelp forest ecosystem. One of the most important ecosystem services the lobsters provide is maintaining the population of sea urchins, which otherwise consume kelp. 
In a part of the ocean known as the North Pacific Gyre, human-produced plastic has increased 100-fold over the past 40 years, according to a new study. This is the infamous Great Pacific Garbage Patch, which is not an actual floating island of garbage, but which is filled with floating bits of plastic, often fingernail-sized, mostly from the U.S. west coast and from the east coast of Asia. The new study led by graduate student researcher Miriam Goldstein at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego indicates that the plastic in this part of the ocean has provided new habitats for some marine creatures, which in turn can be expected to create a subtle shift in the ocean food web. The study was published May 9, 2012 in an online issue of the journal Biology Letters.
