Things worth knowing about Sharks:
“He who fears an animal will only see its threatening behaviour” – this quote from Nobel Prize winner Bertrand Russell seems to capture better than most sentiments the relationship between shark and man. Most people simply know too little about sharks in order to overcome the fear being propagated through the media. Sharks are always depicted as monstrous man-eaters in sensational films and reports. A new image of the animals is only slowly emerging in the media. This “man-eater” is gradually being portrayed as an intelligent predator with more of an aversion to humans. Sharkproject has compiled facts and information on this here in the Shark Compendium.
They will constantly be developing this knowledge library further, adding new research findings and chapters. So it’s worth dropping by at regular intervals!

The Word “Shark” in different languages:

Deutsch:

Haiothek Wissenswertes über Haie
“Wer Angst vor einem Tier hat, wird in dessen Verhalten immer nur das Bedrohliche sehen!” pointierter, als dieser Ausspruch des Nobelpreisträger Bertrand Russel, kann man das Verhältnis zwischen Hai und Mensch nicht beschreiben.
Die meisten Menschen wissen einfach zu wenig über Haie, um die über Medien permanent geschürte Angst zu verlieren. In sensationsgierigen Filmen und Berichten sind Haie immer noch die menschenfressenden Monster. Erst langsam setzt sich ein neues Medienbild der Tiere durch. Aus dem “Menschenfresser” wird so allmählich ein intelligenter und dem Menschen gegenüber eher scheuer Räuber.

Fakten und Informationen dazu auf der Seite Sharkproject
Diese Wissensbibliothek wird sich permanent weiter entwickeln, mit neuen Forschungsergebnissen und neuen Kapiteln. Es lohnt sich also mehrfach im Jahr mal reinzuschauen.

VSO Day

Victory in the Southern Ocean Day for the Whales

Pilot Chris Aultman and crewmember Mark Cullivan in an emotional embrace.
Photo: Barbara VeigaIt’s official – the Japanese whaling fleet has called it quits in the Southern Ocean, at least for this season. And if they return next season, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society will be ready to resume their efforts to obstruct and disable illegal Japanese whaling operations.

“The Nisshin Maru made a significant course change immediately after the Japanese government made it official that the whaling fleet has been recalled,” said Captain Alex Cornelissen from the Bob Barker. “She looks like she’s going home!”

The Sea Shepherd ship Bob Barker has been tailing the Japanese Nisshin Maru factory ship since February 9th making it impossible for the whalers to continue their illegal whaling operations.

“I have a crew of 88 very happy people from 23 different nations including Japan and they are absolutely thrilled that the whalers are heading home and the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is now indeed a real sanctuary,” said Captain Paul Watson.

The Sea Shepherd ships Steve Irwin, Bob Barker, and Gojira will remain in the Southern Ocean to escort the Japanese ships northward. “We will not leave the whale sanctuary until the last whaling ship has departed,” said Gojira captain Locky MacLean.

“This is a great victory for the whales,” said Captain Watson, “but we did not do this alone. Without the support of the people of Australia and New Zealand, we would not have been able to send voyages out for seven seasons from Australian and New Zealand ports. We are grateful to Senator Bob Brown and the Australian Greens Party. We are very grateful to Mr. Bob Barker for giving us the ship that turned the tide in our efforts to force the Japanese fleet from these waters. We are grateful to all our onshore staff and volunteers, supporting members and ship crews. We are grateful to the Chilean Navy and the government of France for their support. It is a very happy day for people everywhere who love whales and our oceans.”

It’s official – the killing of whales in the Southern Ocean Whale Sanctuary is over for this season and the whalers did not even take 10% of their quota. Sea Shepherd estimates that over 900 whales have been saved this year.

“It’s a great day for the whales,” said Sea Shepherd Chief Cook on the Steve Irwin Laura Dakin of Canberra, Australia, “and it’s a great day for humanity!”

Despite many press releases worldwide the Thai Government DOES NOT close all dive sites in the Andaman Sea and the Gulf of Thailand region!
Correct is that a few Dive Sites will be closed due to research. The dive sites which will be closed do not reflect on diving pleasure in Thailand. Please find the links where you can see and find more detailed information that only a few reefs will be closed for scientific research purposes:
Another fact: The coral bleaching comes from to warm water temperatures and not from Divers at all!

http://www.tatnews.org/VISITOR-INFORMATION/5263.asp

Also coral bleaching phenomena is not damaging more than 10% of all corals throughout the Kingdom’s seas, but partly in shallow water areas some of the coral life. You still can enjoy wonderful and colourful reefs in the Andamnan Sea and as well in the Gulf of Thailand!

We awaiting you and looking forward to some amazing dives!

The Poseidon Dive Academy Team!

Pressemeldungen mit mangelhafter oder gar gänzlich fehlender Recherche ziehen Kreise und verbreiten, alle Riffe in thailändischen Marine National Parks werden gesperrt - Das ist SCHWACHSINN..!!!Richtig ist, dass ein paar wenige Tauchpläzte zu wissenschaftlichen Studienzwecken gesperrt werden, die nicht tauchrelevant sind, bzw die sowieso kaum einer der thailändischen Tauch-Fan-Gemeinde kennt oder jemals betaucht hat. Namentlich und geografisch gelistet findet Ihr die gesperrten Riffe unter folgendem Link:

http://www.tatnews.org/VISITOR-INFORMATION/5263.asp

Dem ungetrübten Tauchspass in thailändischen Gewässern steht also nach wie vor nichts entgegen!

Wir erwarten Euch und wünschen euch immer gut Luft!

This is the deepest known cave in Thailand and all of it is underwater. It is a very deep vauclusian resurgence with two surface pools which join underwater. The sump contains fresh water, even at -240m. There are several other deep resurgences in this area and the source of the water is not known.
The site was first dived by Matt London and the Thailand Cave Diving Project around 1993. The two surface pools were connected at a depth of 84m. These dives pushed the cave to a depth of -120m using open-circuit equipment. Exploration was resumed in December 2005 when Bruce Konefe, Cedric Verdier and Mike Gadd reached a depth of -150m using rebreathers. In May 2006 Verdier and Gadd extended the cave to -201m. The bottom of the sump was eventually reached by Ben Reymenants in November 2006 at a depth of -240m.
If you do this please ask us first. It is dangerous to dive in caves especially if you go deep! Instructors and divers lost there life in these cave.
But nevertheless there are also many Caves around to reach by foot on land. You’ll need torches to explore these caves and if you like Bats then this is a must!
All can be reached by walking from this lake!
If you have any questions please contact me!
Have lots of fun exploring undiscovered worlds!
