 New Report on Rising Ocean AcidityA National Research council study out on Thursday indicated that oceans have become 30% more acidic over the last 200 years. The report was requested by Congress. The report warns, “Ocean acidification is a growing global problem that will intensify with continued CO2 emissions and has the potential to change marine ecosystems and affect benefits to society.” DivingInDepth.com’s Official Newsletter Q1 2010 – Volume 7DivingingInDepth’s Monthly Newsletter – Diving In!! What’s new! Recent feedback for our readers has been that our posts of underwater photographers and their work are overwhelming favorites. With this in mind, we have approached two photographers to see if they can share their work! Graham Casden of Ocean First Divers and Chris Kovaz of Divers Only have both provided us with recent photographs of their undersea journeys! Chris comes back for the second time. An Interview with Chris Kovaz of DiversOnlyChris Kovaz is currently Digital Media Director for DiversOnly.com. You can hear him weekly on Divers Only Radio. He is an active diving photographer whose photos first appeared on DivingInDepth’s website several years back. He graciously agreed to appear on our site again and do an interview! Most recent photos at DivingInDepth.com: chris-kovaz-scuba-diving-photos-february-2010/ Chris, is a diving prodigy from Florida, but has traveled extensively all over the world. His love of underwater photography gradually developed after his father, Blaise, helped get him certified as a diver at the age of 12. After receiving a 2-mega-pixel camera and an Ikelite housing from Blaise, his career had finally begun. He became much more accomplished after completing his first class with Stephen Frink in 2005. After the improvements made in that short week, Chris knew photography was his future. Chris currently shoots a Canon 1Ds MarkII with a Sea Cam housing. Chris has been diving in extravagant places such as, Belize, the Bahamas, Utila, Roatan, the Galapagos, Fiji, and the Florida Keys.
