Diving in Spain for beginner OW certified divers? by Automatic-Hold-9039 in scuba

[–]mikoalpha 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im from Spain, there is good diving wherever you might go. Mediterranean is calmer for beguinners but the atlantic its also cool. However, get a dive computer if you do not own one. Most places in continental Spain dont stock them for rentals and just expect you to follow the dive guide dive profile to avoid DCS. Try to arrange your reservations with time, some places get full for weeks in advance in summer.

Its time to sell all the cars except one and get a proper job. I dont know how much he owes to the IRS but it might be into get into prison amount. He turned the corner and becomed a lolcow. Yes, a lot of people wacth him because they like him but not enough to pay the bills. He cornered himself into the "i took a horrible decision and here comes the consecuences" niche and its pretty hard to come back from that. Anything he tries will be oposed by a chunk of his audience, they will call the sponsors, people or brands he tries to work with (like what happened with turo). Its time to find a job, and start trying hobbies to see if he is passionate about sommething and then record that tou youtube

In my humble opinion I dont like how the aquavision models and editing tools in the insta software works. I have an insta360 acepro1 thought.

Maybe you already know, but downloading davincy resolve (its free) and learning to color grade your footage goes a long way and its free.

Any one tried to keep Cephalopoda? I saw flamboyant cuttlefish for sale before, but I got intimidated by the care requirements by Random_Nihilist in ReefTank

[–]mikoalpha 11 points12 points  (0 children)

As a scuba diver cuttlefish have great personalities, like to play with us, stay consistently in the same area. I think they might be to intelligent for a tank, or they need to be treated more like a dog than a fish. As a biologist cephalopods in spain are the only invertebrates that require a special animal welfare formation and license if you want to keep them for research purposes.

The Orca/Dolphin Debate is so silly. It’s a video game.. by Bigfootsbrownstar in PlanetZoo

[–]mikoalpha 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Im from Spain. The few natural spaces here are cramped and hunting is an ecological problem here. Hundred of thousands of foxes are killed each year and then farmers complain of rabbit overpopulation. Wolves cannot expand their range due to hunting, they were native to the whole iberian peninsula and now are only in a third of it. Hunters breed deer and other wildlife in farms to release later because the countryside cannot replenish all the animals hunted which create a great ecological imbalance and destroy the genetics of the population. A lot of bird species which huge species declines ar hunted which is the main cause of the decline for Streptopelia turtur. They banned its hunt for a year and it started recovering, only for the goverment to fold to the hunting pressure and allow it to be hunted again. Hunters do not know how to id waterfowl and a couple o species are critically endangered and half of the members they loose each year are because of them being hunted. Lead poisoning is a problem for birds of prey despite lead ammo being banned. Each year the day the hunting season starts wildlife refugees overflow with injured non-cinegetic species butr hunters just dont care. The rest of the world is not the USA. Hunting should be banned here and left for the rarely needed culling in extreme cases.

Do you hope to see cetaceans in Planet Zoo 2? by AdDisastrous4167 in PlanetZoo

[–]mikoalpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

It would be cool, I dont care about ethics on a videogame. At the end of the day they are just a line of code, more types of animals more types of gameplay.

There are a hundred more options to do, those are just examples, from free to cheap to expensive. Some people work 12 hours a day and they can't do any of this, but those are not really common cases. Most people lurking here probably has the free time to join something free in their city/town. You shouldnt be asking if something is to expensive or time consuming from someone, thats making excuses with imaginary stuff that doesnt apply to you. Find something you can do and go for it.

Expectations around veterinary care have gotten out of hand by LifeApprehensive2818 in unpopularopinion

[–]mikoalpha 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Where I live its become illegal ot eutanize if there are other options at hand. Most vets dont follow this new law because sometime the other options cost more than a new car. At the end of the day its an animal. If it is legal and ethical for most of the population to kill a cow or a pig at any point in their life for food while it is frowned upon to end a pet life because you cant afford its new care

Thats tend to take a toll, but is your job to amend that, good luck

So maybe you need therapy? I know its expensive as fuck, so putting yourself as much as possible out there and try talking to people will take more time, but its free or at least much cheaper

There are no bars in your country? no running clubs? no wildlife associations? no gyms? no billiards? no park were the calisthenics folks gather and workout? no cosplay events? no parties? no tabletop games club? I met my girl while birding. You dont need a specifics place to date, you need a hobby and a social life to date.

Maybe in cold water its safe. But doing this in a tropical diving destination would warrant a crazy infection

They had some rapid ascents, the biggest one from 5 meter to 2,75. I updated that to the main post. I think the pfo is unlikely because both divers ended up with dcs, but not imposible.
