Diving Under Control:
Assessing Your Limits as a Diver
Life is full of limits, and so is the sport of scuba diving. The challenge of safe, responsible diving is not simply to develop personal limits. More importantly, we must learn to reassess those limits as our capabilities and situations change, and to stick to our self-imposed limits even when pressured to do otherwise.

Carbon Dioxide’s Role in Global Warming:
A Litmus Test for the Ocean
Climate change researchers predict that by the end of the century ocean pH could drop as low as 7.8. That would represent a 150 percent increase in acidity in a little over 200 years. The author explains the problem of “ocean acidification” and how it may profoundly change the ecology of the sea.
