Dive deep and retrieve these seal sticks

Advantages: Good aid to water confidence
Disadvantages: none

...We have some Zoggs seal sticks at work. They are amongst our swimming tools, aids, toys. These swimming aids are suitable for children aged 3+. These seal sticks are a dive stick aimed at encouraging children to gain water confidence. These sticks are 19x3x4 cm, weighs 0.272 kg. These sticks usually come in a carry bag set of 4 different coloured seal sticks blue, green, red and yellow .Each one has a round blue head with black eyes and mouth markings at one end of the tubular stick. At the other end is a black seals foot. Each one has Zoggs printed in black around the coloured tube. They are made of a smooth plastic. The tube is a softer a more flexible plastic than the head and foot. These sticks are quite durable. These seals are weighted so when thrown into the swimming pool they will sing to the bottom and stand...

The Mask review

Advantages: Very very funny
Disadvantages: None

...The Mask is a comedy made in 1994 and was part of the trifecta (the others being "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" and "Dumb & Dumber") that propelled Jim Carrey from unknown to superstar. It also made a star of another unknown actor, this time being Cameron Diaz. Jim Carrey plays Stanley Ipkiss, a bank clerk and a really nice guy. But, he is a bit of a pushover and never really stand up for himself. After a particularly bad day, he stumbles upon a mask, that he finds out depicts Loki, the Norse god of mischief. When he puts on the mask, he turns into a green faced, wacky, snappy dresser! He's confident, romantic and not afraid to fight for what he believes in, so you could say he just brought out what Stanley is really like inside himself. So, together with his dog, Milo, they go out and paint Edge City red! Well, green really. This...

Mudd Mask

Advantages: Leave skin so smooth, easy to use
Disadvantages: Takes ages to remove

...Occasionally I like to have a pampering night where I sit in front of the TV, do a face mask, paint my toenails and generally do girlie things. One of my favourite face masks to use is the Mudd range of face masks. Range The Mudd range is quite varied and includes masks which exfoliate, a medicated mask, masks for men and the original mud mask - which is my favourite. Packaging The original face mask comes in 5 inch x 3 inch sachet which is white and brown. Each sachet contains 15ml of the face mask. On the front of the sachet there is a small picture of a woman with the mask applied to her face and I have to admit that it literally looks like she has covered her face in mud! Next to that picture is a slightly larger picture of the same woman with very healthy looking glowing skin. On the back of the packaging, there is all...

Excellent diving in the Maldives

Advantages: Warm water, clear, lots of life
Disadvantages: Some dives not that exciting

...I recently did a dive trip to the Maldives, not a destination I would have planned on as I've always thought of it as a honeymoon destination. I travelled on a liveaboard boat, doing a circuit of dive sites around North and South Male atolls and Ari Atoll. Water temperature was mostly 28-30C, with mostly visibility of 15-25m. The weather was generally very warm, and fairly humid. Some of the dives were phenomenal. The highlight was the dive at Manta Point (though it's best to point out that there isn't just one but several manta points around the Maldives, partly according to season). We had 20+ mantas swooping in just over our heads, hovering and observing us as we observed them! Our second dive there wasn't as good but still around 10 mantas checking us out over the cleaning station. There were several other drift dives that were...

SS Yongala - Diving the Wreck

Advantages: Huge fish and loads of them, Spectacular
Disadvantages: The Price

...I have a love of all things watery, so for me spending a week at sea diving the outer GBR, is somewhat close to my idea of heaven. Having spent a week exploring this underwater realm and all the weird and wonderful creatures that lurk within it, we finished off our trip with what has to be one of the most spectacular dives I think I?ve ever done. A wreck dive on the SS Yongala, one of Queensland?s, if not Australia?s top diving attractions. History The SS Yongala (named after the aboriginal word yonggluh ? meaning broad water) was a steel passenger and freight ship built in Newcastle (England) in the early 1900?s. Reaching 350 feet (110m) in length and weighing in at 3,664 tonnes she was capable of reaching top speeds of 15.8 knots. Originally commissioned for the Adelaide Steamship Company, and after her launch in 1903 she...

Dive In At The Deep End!

Advantages: Easy acess to hotel, coral reefs onsite, friendly staff, good prices
Disadvantages: None

...diving equipment on it can make it easier than stairs. As you enter through the main entrance, there are two rooms on your left ? this is where we did our paperwork/theory sections and watched the video section of the course work each day. They had a section behind the counter which passed into the gear set up area where you found the masks, suits and equipment hire area. They also had a cold drinking water machine which was certainly needed after all the diving as I found it made me thirsty! Courses Scuba Diver Course The first course open to people to try is the Scuba Diver Course which is 2 days of skills and an open water sea dive. When we did our Open Water, there was another woman who completed the Discover Diving and she sat in on our course to complete hers. You get a certificate to state that you have completed this course...

The Mask

Advantages: Easy to use, lasts a long time, cleanses and purifies your skin.
Disadvantages: Looking very ugly with it on & slightly dries out my skin.

...out at the top of the 't'. The main body of the tub is a peppermint colour which matches the colour of the cream. It has directions for use on the side. ~ Main ingredients ~ Glycerin ~ an effective moisturiser that helps improve softness and maximise hydration. Kaolin clay ~ This is said to control shine. It deeply cleanses, drawing out any impurities from the skin. It also helps restore the skin's natural balance. Tea tree oil ~ this has natural, purifying anti-bacterial properties which helps soothe blemised skin. ~ What does the B.Shop say about this mask?~ This is a clay based mask which deep cleanses to encourage clearer skin. It's a deep cleansing mask that helps refine the skin and combat blemishes, while absorbing excess oils, leaving the skin feeling clean, refreshed and revived. ~ So does it do all of this...

Mozambique - world class diving without the crowds

Advantages: Good diving, WHALE SHARKS!; not too crowded
Disadvantages: Infrastructure still developing, food overpriced

...This is a review of the dive sites around Tofo Beach near Inhambane - Mozambique offers a growing number of dive regions but can only comment on this one. I spent a week diving in Tofo in January 2009. Mozambique is emerging after civil war as a prime dive destination. Tofo is known particularly for manta ray sightings, as well as whale sharks, particulrly in summer. Water conditions were unusual while I was there in that it's usually a very warm time of year, with good visibility. This year, the water had been slow to warm up, so instead of the 26-28C that I was expecting, there were thermoclines on the deeper dives going down to 15C! Most of the deep dives were around 20-21C. The surface was still warm, around 24-26C, so you'd be fine by the safety stop, and it was baking once out the water (30C plus). With the thermoclines...

Scrummy Mask!

Advantages: Super-soft skin, smells yummy
Disadvantages: None

...I visited my local Lush branch last week in search of a fresh face mask to sort out my tired looking skin. I do use their products fairly regularly, but it had been some weeks since I'd used a fresh mask and my face felt like it could do with a treat. I went towards the end of the day and was pleasantly surprised that they still had a full range of fresh masks, although this did make my job of deciding which one to take home a little more difficult! The lady working there suggested trying their most recent conconction -oatifix. She said it was deeply moisturising and particularly suited to dry and sensitive skin. For those of you who haven't tried Lush's range of Fresh Face masks - these are made with fresh ingredients (which can often be found in your kitchen) and contain no preservatives. For this reason they need to be kept in...

Review of Lush Oatifix Fresh Face Mask

Behind the mask is an exceptional film

Advantages: Amazing story and brilliant performances
Disadvantages: The softness of the picutre due to the way it was shot

..., I have revisited this film numerous times as it is one of the most compelling dramas I have ever had the pleasure to watch. What is also quite amazing about this film is that it was released in the middle of the 80s when the cinema going audiences seemed to want innocent entertainment like "Back to the Future" instead of powerful true life dramas such as this. For me when I read that a film is based on a true story I approach it with a certain amount of caution, but whilst I cannot say how accurate this interpretation is, I can say that it is vastly different to the majority of films which base their plots on a real life story. Whilst the usual route of action for true story films is to pile on the sentiment with highly contrived scenes which focus on pushing the audiences' buttons to gain a desired emotion. "Mask" steers well clear...
