Question #1:

Water light refraction help?

On a calm, bright day, you're scuba diving in a deep lake (n = 1.33), 6.60 m from your sailboat. When you are 3.30 m below the surface, the top of the sailboat mast appears to you to be in a direction 33.0° from vertical. Calculate the height of the mast.

I've tried this so many times, and I just can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. :(

Question #7:

Please rate my essay? I really need some help!?

Here it is:

This summer, my family and I spent a week of July in the quaint sea side town of Ningaloo, located in the western extremes of Australia.
One day, a scuba diving session was scheduled for our family. Looking at the calm, cerulean blue sea water one wouldn’t expect to see something stupendous underneath it but all my incredulity vanished as the flurry of bubbles which shrouded my vision as a result of diving into the water cleared and revealed to me a colourful underwater metropolis of coral.
I tried to exclaim “wow” but what came instead were a few bubbles through my diving mask as I saw the eerie brain coral, the peculiar table coral and the rainbow of colours which painted these underwater marvels making them look astonishingly beautiful. The striped clownfish, the colour changing cuttlefish, the Yellow Tangs and the little damsel fish increased the beauty tenfold.
As I began plucking coral samples, I was unaware of a huge figure looming up behind me until I turned around and looked it straight in the eyes. It was at least 12 metres long and had a black body which was striped and spotted with pale blue. I immediately recognised it as a whale shark and didn’t panic as whale sharks are known to be very docile creatures. The titan serenely floated over to me and gave me a playful nudge. I realised it was a friendly creature so I grabbed onto a fin gently and to my surprise the creature began to swim, pulling me along for a ride. I mounted onto its back, holding onto its fin for support. It was like riding a horse except much more exciting. The shark began to move up and down, twisted its body and swam in loop de loops with such speed it was like an underwater roller coaster! Before I knew it the shark began to swim towards the surface and it actually leaped into the air like a dolphin. It was truly an enchanting experience with the salty sea wind in my hair, a beautiful sunset and riding my new friend (whom I incidentally named Obsidian)!

The topic was "An enchanting summer experience" and I came up with this (this is a true story mind you).

Question #8:

What are some good ideas, tricks, etc i can do to be more like the "Most Interesting Man in the World?"?

SHould i...

1. learn like 300 words in 10 different languages to make it SEEM like i know 10 different languages - so i only have to learn 3000 words to trick people into thinking i am fluent in 10 languages?

2. Collect souvenirs from eBay to make it look like i've visited every square inch of Planet Earth and sailed the 7 seas - even though i rarely leave my home town.

3. ALways have a tan, even though i hate the sun.

4. Put some fake scars on my body or face and have some cool stories as to how i "got" them.?

Question #9:

What is a cutscene and how is it related to scuba diving?

Question #10:

Tampon problems..please help?

I'm 14, and I started my period at 11. I've been trying to use tampons for quite a while now, but I just can't do it. I'm not sure exactly where it goes, and at what angle. I'm supposed to be going to a scuba diving lesson tomorrow, I've looked forward to it for a long time, but my period is still here today and it most likely will be tomorrow. :(
I try and try, and every time it never works. It makes me angry at myself, and I end up in tears because I can't do a simple everyday task that all women do.
Is it possible for your vagina to be too small for a tampon? I've tried using the small applicator ones, but I still can't get them in. It feels horrible. The instructions on the leaflet I got with them don't help at all.
The most I've got one in is about 2cm, then the squirmy feeling is too much and it hurts if I push any more. Could this be because of my hymen? I'm don't really know what my hymen is supposed to look like either.

What am I doing wrong and does anyone have any tips for me? Please explain in detail, the things that seem obvious may not be to me. Thanks

Question #11:

Rate my essay please?

It's about an enchanting experience I had during summer vacation:

This summer, my family and I spent a week of July in the quaint sea side town of Ningaloo, located in the western extremes of Australia.
One day, a scuba diving session was scheduled for our family. Looking at the calm, cerulean blue surface one wouldn’t expect to see something stupendous underneath it but all my incredulity vanished as the flurry of bubbles which shrouded my vision as a result of diving into the water cleared and revealed to me a colourful underwater metropolis of coral.

The striped clownfish, the colour changing cuttlefish, the Yellow Tangs and the little damsel fish increased the beauty tenfold.
All of a sudden, a huge figure loomed up from behind the reef from which I was plucking samples. It was at least 12 metres long and had a black body which was striped and spotted with pale blue. I immediately recognised it as a whale shark and didn’t panic as whale sharks are known to be very docile creatures. The titan serenely floated over to me and gave me a playful nudge. I realised it was a friendly creature so I grabbed onto a fin gently and to my surprise the creature began to swim, pulling me along for a ride.

It was truly an enchanting experience with the salty sea wind in my hair, a beautiful sunset and riding my new friend (whom I incidentally named _____)!

See the "_____" well I can't think of a name for the whale shark. Any suggestions please? (But not Shamu...)

Question #12:

DIVERS: What are some good diving fins to buy for scuba class?

I am taking a scuba class and need a mask, fins, and a snorkel. I may be getting them from Dick's Sporting Goods although they don't have many varieties.Was wondering what is a good fin I can buy for class which will be held in a pool that will be from 55 degrees to 86 degrees. Ones that go fast and are comfortable. I will also be wanting to keep them for when I travel the world. So below are a few links to what I may be getting from Dick's.

Question #13:

is it safe to jump into the water from about 3 to 4 meters into a pool after scuba diving?

I went scuba diving twice today up to 23-24 meters each time and now i was wondering if it is safe to jump into the pool from about 3 to 4 metres, the pool being 3 meters deep or would i get sick from it? thank you!
just to addd something... i have already jumped it many times as have people much much heavier than me... soooo it is fine to jump it maybe i got the heights wrong, but i said 3 to 4 metres and i know the pool is 3 metres... so please someone answer me the actuall question i was askinggg thank you!!

Question #14:

Do you know many scuba divers that go diving on there own at sea?

Question #15:

I can't go underwater without holding my nose or blowing out. Any tips? I want to swim underwater!?

If I hold my nose I can swim underwater and open my eyes. If I don't hold it I have to blow out and then I run out of air! Otherwise it feels like water is going up my nose and it's a really horrible feeling. Any tips? I have to get very comfortable with this for scuba diving courses.

Question #16:

What is it like to go Scuba Diving for the first time?

I am planning on signing up for some Scuba Diving classes but I am still nervous about being under water with big fish. And I have a fear of really cramped places, but I have always liked swimming. Is the first time going really scary? I have never done anything like this before.

Question #17:

In regards to scuba diving and snorkeling.... pressure equalization...?

I have been an avid snorkeler and free diver (no tanks or snorkel or fins) for a few years and have never had problems equalizing pressure in the ears. I did a free dive in silver springs glen in ocala, florida a couple of weeks ago. the deepest point is about 25 ft. i started my free dive with no problems. when i got to about 18 feet i couldn't equalized pressure in the left ear no matter what i tried! i even shallowed up to about 12 feet and still couldn't equalize. i decided to push through it and right before i got to the bottom my left ear gave way... i was extremely dizzy and disoriented and VERY lucky i knew to stay calm and surfaced. i barely made it to wading depth and i kept falling all over the place. What went wrong. i have never had this issue before...why now? what other ways could i have attemted equalization without having punctured my ear drum?

Question #18:

What kind of things have you learned from the movies, or as we call them the pictures?

These are the things that I have learned.

During all police investigations it will be necessary to visit a strip club at least once.

If being chased through town, you can usually take cover in a passing St. Patrick's Day parade - at any time of the year.

All beds have special L-shaped cover sheets which reach up to the armpit level on a woman but only to waist level on the man lying beside her.

All grocery shopping bags contain at least one stick of French Bread.

It's easy for anyone to land a plane providing there is someone in the control tower to talk you down.

Once applied, lipstick will never rub off - even while scuba diving.

The ventilation system of any building is the perfect hiding place. Nobody will ever think of looking for you in there and you can travel to any other part of the building you want without difficulty. There is never any dust or lint in the ventilation ducts.

If you need to reload your gun, you will always have more ammunition - even if you haven't been carrying any before now.

You're very likely to survive any battle in any war unless you make the mistake of showing someone a picture of your sweetheart back home.

Should you wish to pass yourself off as a German officer, it will not be necessary to speak the language. A German accent will do.

If your town is threatened by an imminent natural disaster or killer beast, the mayor's first concern will be the tourist trade or his forthcoming art exhibition.

The Eiffel Tower can be seen from any window in Paris.

A man will show no pain while taking the most ferocious beating but will wince when a woman tries to clean his wounds.

If a large pane of glass is visible, someone will be thrown through it before long.

When paying for a taxi, don't look at your wallet as you take out a bill - just grab one at random and hand it over. It will always be the exact fare.

Kitchens don't have light switches. When entering a kitchen at night, you should open the refrigerator door and use that light instead.

At night, women should investigate any strange noises in their most revealing underwear.

Mothers routinely cook eggs, bacon and waffles for their family every morning even though their husband and children never have time to eat it.

Cars that crash will almost always burst into flames or explode.

The Chief of Police will always suspend his star detective or give him 48 hours to finish the job.

A single match will be sufficient to light up a room the size of a baseball stadium.

Medieval peasants had perfect teeth.

Although in the present day it is possible to fire weapons at an object out of our visual range, people of the 23rd century will have lost this technology.

Any person waking from a nightmare will sit bolt upright and pant.

It is not necessary to say hello or goodbye when beginning or ending phone conversations. It only wastes time.

All bombs are fitted with electronic timing devices with large red digital readouts so you know exactly when they're going to go off.

It is always possible to park directly outside the building you are visiting.

It does not matter if you are heavily outnumbered in a fight involving martial arts. Your enemies will wait patiently to attack you one by one by dancing around in a threatening manner until you have knocked out their predecessors.

Police Departments give their officers personality tests to make sure they are deliberately assigned a partner who is their total opposite.

When they are alone, all foreigners prefer to speak English to each other.

You can always find a chainsaw when you need one.

Television news bulletins usually contain a story that affects you personally at that precise moment.

Question #19:

What is the best way to beat my asthma?

I have just returned home after 7 months travelling to find out my brother is no longer asthmatic. This angered me very much. Now I am the only one in the family suffering from this humiliating, weakening illness that could very well hold me back from doing what I want to do with my life - join the army and graduate from the military academy. It is so cruel, it is as though fate is taunting me by relieving my brother of his asthma, especially since his was far worse than mine in earlier years and our parents even feared that he would never be able to even scuba dive. Well, look how things turned out...

It could be something to do with the fact that we have always owned cats, and perhaps because of this I am always a bit ill (blocked up nose, allergic sort of reactions) when I am at home, and/or in part thanks to an exercise regime my brother currently follows that helps him control his asthma.

I need to be strict with myself about this. I am going to have to be disciplined. How can I defeat my asthma? I don't want my life to be controlled, I don't want to be prevented from achieving my lifelong ambition due to this humiliating, pathetic ailment that has caused me so much ire. I have considered beginning an exercise regime - is this a good way to combat it, with exercise (particularly aerobic)?
