		<description><![CDATA[It&#8217;s funny &#8211; it seems like all of the sponsors of the scholarship are on the cutting edge of their area of the industry.  Lucky for me, when I visit them I get to see what&#8217;s coming next year and what new products will change the way we explore and experience the oceans.  Lucky for [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Bubble-Free Zone</title>
		<description><![CDATA[The breathing-gas economy has a lot to do with it (think about spending 8 hours underwater with only two 3 liter tanks), and the idea of doing surface intervals underwater is definitely exciting, but it was the lack of bubbles &#8211; the complete and utter silence &#8211; that really sold me on rebreathers.  On our [...]]]></description>

		<title>Rebreathing in California</title>
		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;m in between San Diego and LA and I haven&#8217;t left the house in three days.  I&#8217;m staying with Jeff Bozanic, one of the most knowledgeable and experienced rebreather instructors on the planet, learning rebreather dive theory and spending hours in the pool getting comfortable on the units.  Closed-circuit rebreathers are complicated units, far more [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[“Let’s dive us up a shipwreck!”
My time in Dry Tortugas seemed to fly by. My days consisted of diving, eating, doing chores, and sleeping. To start it off, I stayed up until 4:00 am packing my bags in California then I drove to the airport for a long flight to Florida. Upon arrival, I discovered [...]]]></description>

		<title>Heat-Wave of the Future</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Diving is a very complicated sport.  It’s not the skill set required for basic recreational dives that makes it complicated.  You could even argue that some of the most advanced technical diving is not so much complex as it is dive-table-intensive, or training-heavy.  What makes diving so complicated is the equipment that we rely on [...]]]></description>

		<title>Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park</title>
		<description><![CDATA[Kaloko-Honokohau National Historical Park was established in 1978 and preserves the coastal sections of two ahupu’a or traditional land divisions of Kaloko and Honokohau. This area of land extends from the upper slopes of the volcano down to the coast and out into the ocean.  It includes the Kaloko fishpond, which was constructed with lava rock and is an excellent example of traditional aquaculture as fish were raised in the pond to sustain the population. Most of our dive sites were located in Honokohau Bay or just outside of Kaloko fishpond.]]></description>
