Never Go Diving Without a Magnetic CompassJakob Jelling A magnetic compass is an indispensable device which divers should always carry and be able to consult while they dive. The compass might make the difference for a lost diver allowing him to find the shore, which he couldnt do without it. Having a magnetic compass is crucial at the moment of wishing to know where we are while being at the water. Whenever a diver is checking on his equipment and making sure he has everything he needs, one of the first things he should check is for his compass. A diver should never go into the sea without having this device with him. It doesnt matter if it is an experienced diver or not, any one could get lost if they didnt have a magnetic compass with them. Using a magnetic compass is not as easy as it might seem and it might take some practice before the diver is able to use it and read it properly. Actually, many divers tend to feel like they dont need to learn or practice with their compass, and they dont find out their mistake until they are into the water and need the help of this device. Any sea related sport requires a compass as an important piece of equipment. It is fundamental for navigators to use compasses and consult them, and actually they could not practice their activity without the information which these devices provide. Actually, a compass turns into a safety device due to the importance of the help it gives for those who consult it while being at the sea, whether they are navigating, diving, or practicing any other related activity. It is very easy to get lost while being at the sea, and having a compass might be the only way to learn where we are and in which direction we should move. When all we have around us is sea and it looks all alike, there might be no way for us to know where we should go. Therefore, having a magnetic compass and learning how to properly follow its indications is vital for all divers.

I went to the sporting goods store bought a few boxes of shells, some paper targets, and earplugs. I headed to the local rifle range for a task that I thought would take a few minutes to complete.

Hell-Roaring Creek The first Summer that I lived in Colorado provided me with an opportunity to do some field work in the western Rocky Mountains.To reach my first campsite, I followed a rutted dirt road along the bank of Hell Roaring Creek, and found a rocky path that led to an abandoned mine.A cold, mountain stream gurgled and murmured within its narrow banks, at the bottom of a narrow defile carved by furious erosion to expose towering, jagged cliffs of maroon sandstone on one side, and a more gently sloping mass of granite on the other.By early afternoon, the maroon hills were softened by shadow, too steep to allow even the high Colorado sun to fully illuminate the bottom of the miniature gorge.I unfolded my double-burner Coleman stove, and placed it carefully on the hood.As the twin burners hissed bright blue heat, searing mixed vegetables on one side and Dinty Moore on the other, I watched swallows dart after insects against the backdrop of the waning Rocky Mountain sunset.I basked, self satisfied, in the sounds of the gurgling creek, the ever softening sunlight, lengthening shadows, and lilting, cool breeze.As dusk encroached, I settled in by flashlight with a Stephen King novel.I read, mesmerized as rain pattered on the roof and lightning flashed, momentarily revealing the churning mass of foliage around me and briefly illuminating the high cliffs, now turned blood-black. 4 Surefire Ways NOT To Lose Weight At Your Health Club Everyone has their own individual reason for joining a health club, lose a few pounds, tone up, lower your blood pressure, strengthen a bad back or shoulder, perform better in sports, or just keep in shape by playing some basketball or racquetball.
