Eco-Photo Explorers as we present:
Frozen Fins: The Art and Science of Ice Diving |
 When the weather turns cold and the local waters turn to ice, many divers pack up their dive gear and wait for the return of summer. Some hasten its arrival with a trip to warmer climates while winter maintains its grip on the north. But the arrival of winter does not need to mean the end of local diving. In this program, you will learn the techniques, equipment requirements and reasons for safely venturing below the ice in one of diving’s most challenging, and rewarding, activities: Ice Diving. Join Eco-Photo Explorers as they explain the “hows” and “whys” of ice diving and introduce you to some of the best places to dive beneath the ice. Date: Saturday, March 27, 2010Track: TBD Time: 10:00 pm - 10:45 pm

Pirates, Ghost Ships & Seafaring Superstitions |
 The
ocean can be a dangerous, frightening place. Through the
years, mariners have encountered pirates who plundered their
ships and terrorized their crew, and have seen ghost ships
that seemed to be sailing the seas without a trace of their
crew.
Through it all, these brave seafarers sought explanation for the many mysteries of the sea and comfort from its dangers in legend and folklore. Ahoy, Matey! Join Eco-Photo Explorers for a fun-filled program as they tell the real stories of Pirates, Buccaneers and Privateers and examine the mysteries of some of the most famous Ghost Ships of all time. Along the way, many of the superstitions of the sea will also be discussed. Date: Sunday, March 28, 2010Track: TBD Time: 10:30 am - 11:15 pm
