Toxic sea Part3

Is this WORMWOOD? Could a asteroid strike at sea disturb neclear bombs? The search for Neclear chemical and biological weapons in the world's oceans: Buried at Sea chronicles this shocking environmental story. Hundreds of thousands of tonnes of highly toxic materials lie scattered on ocean floors - in barrels that are rusting away and releasing their lethal contents. While we worry about weapons of mass destruction in the hands of rogue states, the West's legacy may prove far more dangerous. During the Second World War, Canada produced more chemical weapons than any other of the Allies. After the war, and during the Cold War era, massive weapons stockpiles were simply dumped into the ocean by the United States, Britain, Canada, the Soviet Union and Germany. They were considered buried and done with forever. Information about known dumps was either mishandled or suppressed. his documentary takes us on a journey to discover some of the most dangerous dump sites. The oceans are vast and finding weapons lying underwater will prove difficult. However, the health of marine species and coastal communities is at risk. Buried at Sea takes viewers on an underwater search and weaves the stories of people around the world whose lives have been affected by these chemical weapons. Buried at Sea is directed and produced by John Wesley Chisholm and co-produced by Kent Martin for the National Film board of Canada.

Diving with sea lions off of Anacapa island

Although I have 3000 dives and have been diving for 23 yrs, this was my first dive with sea lions. This dive was everything I hoped Cali diving would be. Swimming through the kelp and getting up close to the sea lions was amazing! We had over 50 sea lions playing around us. they would want to play pass the kelp leaf with me and blow bubbles in my face. I just wish i hadn't used most of space on the dives before or i would had lots more of their antics.
