There are for example fragments in ' Sapphic ' meter praising the Dioscuri, Hermes and the river Hebrus ( a river significant in Lesbian mythology since it was down its waters that the head of Orpheus was believed to have floated singing, eventually crossing the sea to Lesbos and ending up in a temple of Apollo, as a symbol of Lesbian supremacy in song ).

The current is circumpolar due to the lack of any landmass connecting with Antarctica and this keeps warm ocean waters away from Antarctica, enabling that continent to maintain its huge ice sheet.

During the crossing, the river grew dry as soon as the feet of the priests carrying the Ark touched its waters, and remained so until the priests — with the Ark — left the river after the people had passed over ( Josh.

Related to the border in Piran Bay is Slovenian access to international waters in the form of a corridor which would require Croatia to cede its exclusive rights over at least some of its territorial waters to the west of Umag.

The leading military power in the region, France has detachments on Mahoré and Réunion, and its Indian Ocean fleet sails the waters around the islands.

The Casiquiare is not a sluggish canal on a flat tableland, but a great, rapid river which, if its upper waters had not found contact with the Orinoco, perhaps by cutting back, would belong entirely to the Negro branch of the Amazon.

Nevertheless, the upper layer remained suspended above the lower layer because its waters were warmer and thus less dense.

When the upper layer cooled so its density was greater than the lower layer, the waters mixed ( 1978 – 79 ).

Some groups allege that Diego Garcia and its territorial waters out to have been restricted from public access without permission of the BIOT Government since 1971.

Oxygen levels in the river were depleted to the point where fish were unable to inhabit its waters.

As was the case with LORAN C, its primary use was for ship navigation in coastal waters.

For 20 years, the two powers struggled for supremacy in the western Mediterranean Sea, primarily on the Mediterranean island of Sicily and its surrounding waters but also to a lesser extent in the Apennine peninsula and North Africa.

He also added its captain, Nuno da Silva, a man with considerable experience navigating in South American waters.

The Ghana Navy provides defence of Ghana and its territorial waters, fishery protection, and internal security on Lake Volta.

* 1965 – The wreck of the, valued at over $ 50, 000, 000 and said to have been the most powerful Confederate cruiser, is discovered by then teenage diver and pioneer underwater archaeologist E. Lee Spence, exactly 102 years after its destruction.

A Blue whale has been measured as 33 metres long ; this drawing compares its length to that of a human diver and a dolphin

In the early 1960s, the British Dunlop Sports Company brought out its yellow Aquafort neoprene wetsuit, whose high visibility was designed to improve diver safety.

Aristophanes ( Birds, 304 ) and others use the word κολυμβίς ( kolumbis ), " diver ", for the name of the bird, because of its swimming motion in the air.

It is an excellent swimmer and diver, and pursues its fish prey underwater.

The Slavonian Grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver, and pursues its fish prey underwater.

The Black-necked Grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver, and pursues its prey underwater, eating mostly fish as well as small crustaceans, aquatic insects and larvae.

The Little Grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver and pursues its fish and aquatic invertebrate prey underwater.

Before putting on the dry suit, the male diver puts on a condom catheter, which is similar to a condom except that it is made of thicker material with a cuff or adhesive ring to prevent it from slipping off, and its end connects to a built-on drain tube.

The simple case of a fixed ratio discharge can be achieved by concentric bellows counterlungs, where the exhaled gas expands both the counterlungs, and while the larger volume outer bellows discharges back to the loop when the diver inhales the next breath, the inner bellows discharges its contents to the surroundings, using non return valves to ensure a one-directional flow.

If the diver persists, the shark will either retreat or launch a rapid open-mouthed attack, slashing with its upper teeth.

Once the air bubble becomes smaller and more water enters the diver, the diver displaces a weight of water that is less than its own weight, so it becomes negatively buoyant and sinks in accordance with Archimedes ’ principle.

Assuming such a state were to exist at some point, any departure of the diver from its current depth, however small, will alter the pressure exerted on the bubble in the diver due to the change in the weight of the water above it in the vessel.

Most entry-level training is similar across the diver training agencies, although some may emphasize certain topics earlier in the program, such as the inclusion of diver rescue in syllabuses such as CMAS 1 * and NAUI, and its absence from other equivalent courses such as PADI.

The diver uses a BC to maintain this state of neutral buoyancy by adjusting the BC's volume and therefore its buoyancy, in response to various effects, which alter the diver ’ s overall volume or weight, primarily:

The orientation of a static and stable object in water, such as a diver, is determined by its center of buoyancy and its center of mass.

Generally, the diver has minimal control of the relative position of the center of buoyancy in the BC during a dive, but only its quantity.

However the diver can change the buoyancy center by control of his equipment setup, which includes its configuration and weighting locations, which ultimately influence where his effective BC lift is positioned relative to his Center of Gravity.

The medium pressure gas, at about 10 bar / 140 psi over ambient pressure, expands, reducing its pressure to ambient pressure, blowing out any water in the chamber and supplying the diver with gas to breathe.
