Advantages: A great camera for someone to just jump in the water and have a go with
Disadvantages: You will outgrow the camera especially if you move beyong the novice level

...This was the first underwater camera I bought, and I did so at a time when I actually knew nothing about underwater photography, but just had an urge to go and do it. The MX10 in my opinion turned out to be a great camera for someone like myself who knew very little about the subject. It's easy to use and the only thing you have to remember with the camera (like any other underwater photography is to get as close to your subject as possible), is to guess you distance and set the exposure setting accordingly. Then it's just a case of pointing and shooting. I took the MX10 with me to Eygpt, States and the far East, and it's light enough to keep in your hand luggage. The next great thing about the MX10 is that not only is it easy to use and light to carry around, but you can buy a variety of lenses for Macro and Micro photography, so... Read review

Advantages: An unusual experience, good for the skin
Disadvantages: A long walk, the salty water may sting after a while

...~Summary~ The Dead Sea, this was the main reason for my trip to Israel. The healing properties of the waters may be overstated, but you can't go to Israel and not experience mudpacks and swimming in the salty water. The resorts are well equipped with showers, lockers, toilets, restaurant and products to take back home. The actual Dead Sea waters are receding so it is a long walk to the water edge, but there is a land train if you have trouble walking far. The waters are a bit stingy on the skin so I would advise caution if you have sensitive skin. ~Introduction~ The Dead Sea is in Israel and is shared with Jordan. The Dead Sea is renowned for its revitalising properties and products from the Dead Sea area include mud masks, bath salts and other bathing items. The Dead Sea is also below sea level in a valley and has very high salt... Read review

...this is the first poem i ever did and i wanted to share it and see if others could relate to what i was trying to say. Standing and staring at the deep blue sea, Thinking how clear it is to see Closing her eyes she try’s To look into her heart To see her own blue sea Seeing it within she sees how deep and dark, it flows Standing and staring at her own hearts sea Seeing the pain and misery Hoping that one day it will flow clear as the deep blue sea. i would love to hear peoples thoughts on this and if you could relate to what it was that i was thinking at the time i wrote it. I did actually write this standing by the sea in Blackpool.... Read review

Advantages: Don't miss it.
Disadvantages: None

...Near Paphos, I also visited the Ancient Roman theater. It is similar to the one in Verona (Italy) but this one is smaller. The beauty about this structure is that it is built in a semi circle manner with a small platform or flat area in the centre of the semi circle, where you can stand and speak and everyone will be able to hear you. It is un believable. This structure sits high on the hill side over looking a flat plane of land with the sea clearly visible not too far away. It is a beautiful setting, especially if you are with someone who likes a similar atmosphere. After visiting this ancient site, i went down the plains to the sea. The sea in this region of Cyprus faces the African continent and is rough. It is not advisable to go swimming in these parts but sitting by the sea with the strong sea-breeze splashing salt water on you... Read review

Advantages: Sitt and chill out
Disadvantages: Dont get water in your eyes it hurts

...I visited the dead sea about 10 years ago now and still remember it very well. We visited for an afternoon on a trip from Jerusalem. The drive was breathtaking through the desert and beduin camps, and down to the dead sea. The temperature was scorching hot between 35-40c and quite humid near the sea. It ws amazing to get in and sit in the sea and fload without worrying about swimming, all pools on holiday should be like this. I sat and read the paper just for a clasic photo. Claims are also made about the mud of the dead sea containing healling properties well i believe as our mud fight cured my heat rash. Only thing is dead sea is on isralels border and you have to put up with guard towers and the odd soldier. I recomend anyone go to israel but maybe hold off for a few years until it settles down. Well worth the wait... Read review

...sachets included with the tank. These are water purifier, ''Instant Life'' (eggs) and growth food. You don't actually need to buy a special sea monkey tank though, a clean pint glass or jam jar will do so long as you measure in the correct amount of water. The job of the water purifier is to make the water just right for your sea monkeys, mainly by neutralizing any metal oxides that may come from your plumbing and getting rid of any chlorine or fluoride, which would otherwise kill off your sea monkeys. You should ideally use bottled spring water (NOT mineral water, and obviously not sparkling water) rather than tap water. However, tap water is okay to use so long as it has been boiled and then thoroughly cooled overnight You need to measure the correct amount of water into your sea monkey tank, (usually 300ml or 10 fluid ounces), and empty...

Advantages: Sea Breeze
Disadvantages: non

...Southampton is not a very interesting place, to be honest. It is not much of a city life, and not a country side. So, it doesn't have the best of both sides. However, there is a quite interesting place called Ocean Village. It is not very big, but, there are a few pubs and a club and a couple of good restaurants. Because it is by the sea, so, I like to have dinner there especially in the summer. I enjoy the sea breeze, a pint of cooling beer, and a nice meal at a fairly reasonble price.... Read review

Advantages: Alot of shows and cafes
Disadvantages: Only a couple of rides

...Sea World Orlando <<< Rides >>> There are only two rides at Sea World Orlando The Kraken, which is a High-speed roller coaster! And the Journey to Atlantis, which is a roller coaster, boat ride! The Kraken is Floorless and you sit in Rows of 4, then you go at a High-Speed through Twists, Turns, Corkscrews, Loops and Inversions! The Journey to Atlantis log flume is a boat ride where you sit in rows of two and sit in a carriage or 6, and you go through a adventure boat ride and then you go down a big drop, then go back into the rest of the story and then you go at a high-speed roller coaster jus around a corner! And then get soaked!!! They are both really good rides! <<< Shows >>> There are a lot of shows in Sea World Orlando there is the shamu show Believe where you watch a Killer Whale do tricks and Stunts!

Advantages: Buy one day, get one free, short queues
Disadvantages: Doesn't compare favourably with Disney

...Sea World - Orlando I've been to Sea World a number of times now, and to be honest, have never really been that impresssed. Not even the recent addition of the Journey to Atlantis ride (their version of Splash Mountain) takes this anywhere near the quallity of the top Disney Parks. By far the most impressive attraction is the Shamu (the Whale) show which is repeated a number of times each day. You can get close contact with all of the animals, but its more like a zoo than a theme park. On the positive side, when you visit Sea World you get another days entry free of charge. This is useful for when your Disney hopper pass has ran out and you are fed up with shopping. Another positive is that you can get a free Bud in the Busch hospitality tent. Additionally, queue time is much less than at Disney.... Read review

Advantages: I's probably one of the best poems i've written
Disadvantages: sorry if you don't like the rhyming

...The sea is large the sea is blue A golden line runs clearly through he ripples on the surface spread The world of the sea has gone to bed In this strange and wonderous sea Away from the world of you and me Another world also thrives A world full of wonderful lives. For deep below the sea of blue Creatures are living, old and new They swim around their underwater world Different shades of blue unfurled From fish to crab, from gillls to fins The world below is full of grins For no creature knows of greed or sin The creatures are happy and don't make a din The sharks have teeth like little swords They to this world are the respected lords The creatures fear them but have found If they stay away at lunchtime they'll be safe and sound The fish are beautiful and quite small A thousand could be fitted into a hall The crabs ae silent but quite...
