We often perceive that there isn't much to see beneath the surface of our rivers and streams, but once we look underwater, a whole new amazing world appears. Fish of all sorts of colors, shapes, and behaviors live in our freshwater ecosystems. The streams themselves create otherworldly breathtaking streamscapes, and we get to witness incredible ecological feats, such as thousand-mile fish migrations. Creek and river snorkeling brings all of these things into view. Snorkeling our rivers and creeks is an excellent way to experience streams on their terms from beneath the surface, and it is the vehicle to adventure, challenge, beauty, and discovery right in our own backyards. You don't need to travel to exotic places for adventure and discovery. You just need to snorkel your local stream. Snorkelhead is the perfect introduction to the growing sport of river snorkeling. Experience the thrill, danger, excitement, and discovery that can be had in your local stream. All you need is a mask, a snorkel, and an appetite for adventure. Underwater naturalist Keith Williams endures wintertime ice, springtime floods, and summertime rapids as he travels the East Coast to explore and discover the underwater world of North America's rivers and streams. Snorkelhead brings you along on his adventures. Contains more than 30 full-color photographs.

The full visual history of the special forces combat diver from World War II to the present day.Combat divers are an elite within an elite. Every special forces combat diver is required to pass selection twice - first into the elite military unit and then a combat diving qualification. The combat dive units themselves are tiny and the operations highly classified. The role of a military diver is inevitably a lonely and a dangerous one, whether clearing mines or striking from the sea against enemy-held targets. Fully illustrated with rare and unusual images, Combat Divers reveals their little-known yet fascinating operations, from Dutch Special Forces combat divers covertly operating against Somali pirates to the actions of Soviet Spetsnaz divers in Swedish territorial waters during the Cold War. It also examines how the most famous units, such as the US Navy SEALs and the Royal Navy's SBS, are currently operating and adapting to threats in a multitude of theatres. Combat Divers gives an insight into specialist kit and vehicles presently used and equipment that is being developed and trialed throughout the world. Covering a variety of kit, from dry deck shelters to mini-submarines and swimmer delivery vehicles, former Royal Marines Commando Michael G. Welham draws on his own extensive diving experience to reveal exactly how this equipment is used by special forces dive teams. As their kit and equipment constantly evolve, so does the nature of their work and even the team element. Combat Divers also details the first female combat divers and includes their own first-hand accounts about their groundbreaking roles within their respective units to create a fascinating history of these elite special forces operatives.

DET FRAGMENTEREDE SIND er en gribende fortælling om rejsen gennem forfatterens liv, og om hvordan mentale traumer sætter dybe spor i hverdag og familieliv.Da han som familiefar var så mentalt nedbrudt, at han ikke engang kunne binde sine egne snørebånd.I bogen følger vi Christian Nielsens rejse fra en barndom i misbrugets skygge, videre til fire år i udlandet som dykkerinstruktør, uddannelsen som erhvervsdykker i Søværnet, et årti ved politiet, tre hårde år med arbejdsrelateret PTSD og til sidst seks år som dykkertekniker ved Frømandskorpset. Udover skelsættende oplevelser med dykning og arbejdet som politimand følger vi processen i samfundet, når man bliver diagnosticeret med alvorlig arbejdsrelateret PTSD.Samtidig er bogen en positiv fortælling om det danske velfærdssystem, og det sikkerhedsnet der er spændt ud under hele befolkningen. Om at være så mentalt knækket, at hver dag føles som den sidste, og alligevel komme videre med et nyt liv.Bogen indeholder konkrete værktøjer, der kan hjælpe andre med at ændre post traumatisk stress til post traumatisk vækst. Et lille skridt ad gangen. Bogen er et opslagsværk om de teknikker og metoder, der hjalp forfatteren tilbage fra helvede, samt et helt unikt indblik i, hvad det kræver at blive rask igen. Den kan med fordel læses af alle, der selv ønsker at blive mentalt stærkere, men henvender sig også til fagpersoner, kollegaer, familier og pårørende, der ønsker at forstå, hvordan det føles at leve med et fragmenteret sind.
