Ocean Stuff: Volcanoes of the Deep

"There is something down there- And it is not us!"

-The Abyss

I've alwasy been attracted to the Ocean. Even before we 'migrated' from Melbourne, I remember as a kid of about five seeing a picture of a Scuba Diver on a box in a store - and knowing that is something that I will o when I "grew up".

At the age of 10 I started to skin dive with friends and remember noticing that it like enetering a different dimension or another world as soon as my head was placed under water.

I got my Scuba ticket in Dampier as soon as I left home - and plan to get my Advanced certification soon which will allow me to (legally) access depths greater than 30m.

I have just come across a new IMAX film which is due out soon which I plan to take my son to see called Volcanoes of the Deep and has got great reviews in 'Scuba Diver' magazine.

Exploring the deepest reaches of this magnificent planet has to be one of the most exciting challenges facing man. It is intriguing that it is only during the last 100 years have we had the technology to see possibly the most beautiful parts of creation.
