	Underwater - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Underwater, sometimes shortened as U/W, is a term describing the realm below the surface of water where the water exists in a natural feature (called a body of water) such as an ocean, sea, lake, pond, or river.
		The solid surface location on the planet closest to the center of the orb is the Challenger Deep, located in the Mariana Trench at a depth of 10,924 m (35,838 ft) under the sea.
		With increasing depth underwater, sunlight is absorbed, and the amount of visible light diminishes.

	MSN Encarta - Diving (underwater)
		The earliest reference to underwater diving techniques occurs in the manuscripts of the Greek philosopher Aristotle, which refer to a diving bell used by forces of Alexander the Great to clear the harbor at Tyre in 332 bc.
		Underwater, the pressure of the air trapped inside the barrel displaced any water that might enter.
		Few advances in underwater diving equipment occurred from the 4th century bc to the 1600s, but since the 1600s inventors have devised several methods for working underwater.

	The Truth about Underwater Burning Safety (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		During underwater burning operations, hydrogen is a constant presence created by the use of an electrical current, and the high temperature in the kerf (cut-line in the steel).
		In the case of underwater cutting, hydrogen and oxygen are being liberated from the water because of the extremely high temperature of the steel being cut as well as the tip of the rod doing the cutting.
		This type of underwater burning operation goes back to the salvage of the ships sunk in Pearl Harbor in 1941, and for every severe accident to a diver doing this type of burning operation, there are probably thousands of similar operations done safely and efficiently.

	Underwater Photography Primer
		Underwater photography combines the challenges of (1) trying to make an aesthetic statement that hasn't been made by thousands of photographers who've dedicated decades of their life to the craft, with (2) trying to stay alive.
		There are no tripods (at least not usually), objects underwater are not where they appear to be or the size they appear to be, you work within limits of a tank of air and one roll of film per dive.

	Taking the Plunge - A guide to Starting an Underwater Welding Career
		As a general rule, candidates seeking underwater welding as a career will decide whether or not they are comfortable with their career choice after completing basic commercial dive training.
		Underwater welding is a skill you also have to master once you obtain the basic commercial diving skills required.
		Primarily these skills are: underwater cutting (oxyfuel, abrasive water jet, mechanical cutting equipment, etc.); fitting and rigging; inspection and nondestructive testing (visual, magnetic particle, ultrasonics, radiography, eddy current, etc.); drafting; and underwater photography (still photo and video).

		It's not that Underwater shouldn't be allowed sweet moments; it's just that this leaves the listener unprepared for the eight-minute static hum of "I'll Say Your Name." Likewise, "Silver" opens like a Portishead jam outtake, until chorus lines intrude.
		Underwater has sidestepped pretension to create an album for cloudy days and rainy nights, filled with all those classic, bereaved emotions: longing, regret, blame, trust, betrayal.

		If I was scuba diving, so going deeper, I'd buy an underwater digital camera, for the option of no film costs, and being able to delete bad photos, so being more cost effective in the long term.
		I used it snorkeling (no underwater dives), so the max depth the camera could have been at was 5 feet.
		I had a very bad experience with Bonica Sea Explorer camera, but this might be common for Bonica underwater cameras that have similar housing where two halves are held together by the hinge on one side and the latch on the other.

		And the underwater housing is dedicated to the camera, and so all those features are accessible even underwater!

		Those designing the craft are now looking at the next generation of underwater robots—ones that can do more than identify something dangerous like a land mine—but can also destroy it.
