| |
|
While on vacation to Crete I decided I wanted to try scuba
diving, I used to do some in the Lochs and around the coast of
Scotland when I was younger.
It was a beautiful place we were staying with a wide clear bay
and a few fishing boats, there was a small diving school just up
from the beach. I popped in to see what it would cost and see
what sort of things I would be able to do. The scuba industry is
regulated by different bodies depending where in the world you
dive.
I had trained in Britain where the British Sub Aqua Club (BSAC)
is the governing body and you have to get certified and trained
by a local BSAC club in order to dive there. They keep records

| Article Title :: When You're Losing Distance |
| |
|
One of the most annoying (and disheartening) problems that
golfers often face is losing distance on their shots. One round
of golf and you're hitting the ball like Tiger Woods, the next
week you're hitting so poorly you probably feel as if you could
throw the ball farther than what your club face is doing for you.
So what happened?
Could be any number of things, really. Before blaming it on your
swing (which you will eventually do) consider a few other
suspects--which can and do affect your swing.
If you've had an especially stressful week or if you've been
hitting the gym and your muscles are tight or sore, that could
be the culprit. When you muscles aren't lax enough to make a

| Article Title :: Catfishing The Right But Simple Way |
| |
|
There are a few basic methods that are effective in catching
catfish. Bear in mind that specific methods are applicable to
specific kinds of waters. That is because techniques and baiting
mixtures are formulated for specific targets.
The following methods are simple, yet proven successful when
used:
1) Rigging method - Depending on the bait used, loop the bait
holder or the treble hook from a line to a preferred distance to
the end. Bait movement is not suggested; therefore, a weight
must be used to allow the rig to be still. A good distance shall
be about 18" to 24."
Same as the first method, using the Slipweight to make the bait
stable is also effective. The weight does not matter as (read full article) |
