7th Annual Ice Hole Festival Ticket Sales Hit Record Numbers

LAKE OKOBOJI, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- International Scuba is thrilled to announce the success of the 7th Ice Hole Festival. The event celebrates the unique thrill of ice diving while promoting scuba diving certifications. The festival is hosted at the Arrowwood Resort in Iowa but draws attention from across the world.

Ticket sales hit record numbers. Along with new sponsors and media outlets wanting to cover the festival. Excitement was felt among participants and organizers. In what started as a Texan's bucket list entry. With a diver walking into International Scuba in Carrollton, Texas. He inquired about scuba diving under ice. Everyone knows there is no ice in Texas. So, Richard Thomas, owner of International Scuba, called his friends in South Dakota, which is known for its ice.

Meeting up with Colonel Echols of Land Shark Scuba in Sioux Falls, they organized the first weekend of ice diving. Locals showed up to watch the crazy Texans willing to risk freezing on a -20F day. It turned out the joke was on them. Everyone had so much fun and bonded while completing an extreme sport that a pact was made to repeat it again next year with the locals. So became the legend of the Ice Hole Festival.

The event has grown every year. It now draws certified scuba divers from Canada, Mexico, Florida, Arkansas, Texas, Illinois, and California.

According to Rich Thomas, Owner, and Operator of International Scuba, "The unique nature of the environment seems to really attract the southern scuba divers that want to test their skill in a harsh environment. And the Friday Night Ice Hole Cutting and bon fire has become legendary. It includes pizza, drinks that warm your heart and toes, and a bonfire on ice."

Thomas adds, "Our mission was to create ice divers from the top down, and I believe this festival has a very strong group of Instructors and Course Directors, ready to take us forward every year."

Next year's event is already in the books. Dive Shops reach out to receive promotional materials. Early bird shops will benefit with links to sign up in our ice hole shop locater, posters, and a minimum of one industry wide press release.

World Open Water Swimming Association’s Final Review: Nyad’s 2013 Cuba to Florida Swim Ratification Denied

SOUTH SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- The World Open Water Swimming Association's (WOWSA) Advisory Board reached a decision regarding Diana Nyad's submission for ratification for the Cuba to Florida swim in 2013.

Our decision is rooted in the following considerations:

Integrity in Sport: At the heart of any sport lies its integrity. The rules and regulations established by ratifying bodies, no matter how large or small, are designed to ensure a level playing field for all participants. When these rules are ill-defined or ignored, intentionally or otherwise, it disrespects the achievements that are made under strict adherence to the rules.

Precedent: This decision sets a standard for upcoming athletes and ratifying bodies. By not addressing the provision of ambiguous documents and the creation of an association lacking indicators of authenticity, we may inadvertently suggest that outcomes matter more than the means to achieve them. Such a stance could unintentionally prompt future athletes to stray from established norms, thinking their achievements might eclipse any irregularities.

Documentation and Procedural Failure: During our evaluation, we came across rules from an association whose existence at the time of the swim, or at any point, could not be verified. We found a document with rules that seemed to have been retroactively dated, and there were inconsistent statements from crew members. Observers who play a vital role in recording swim details and ensuring rule compliance, often holding more significance than GPS data, had missing entries for a span of over 9 hours.

In light of these factors, we've chosen to preserve the sport's integrity by denying the ratification of the swim. We've issued a supplementary report that delves deeper into the matter and highlights various inconsistencies and findings, all of which have been publicly shared to ensure transparency.

Moving forward, to ensure the integrity of our sport and prevent such incidents in the future, we commit to the following actions:

* Ensure rules are declared prior to any swim attempt.

* Require strict adherence to established rules and standards in the course of any open water swim attempt.

* Require documentation of adherence to established rules and standards in the course of any open water swim attempt.

* Mandate strict pre-swim planning procedures for all record attempts.

* Collaborate with the community to define clear criteria for legitimate associations in our sport.

* Enhance support for those who share concerns or observations.

* Offer training and ethical guidelines for officials, observers, and participants.

Enthusiasm Filled the Lake as Scuba Divers Came Together for International Scuba’s 6th Annual Ice Hole Festival on Feb 6, 2023, at Lake Okoboji, IA

LAKE OKOBOJI, Iowa /ScoopCloud/ -- Scuba divers from Canada, Mexico, and the USA joined International Scuba's 6th Annual Ice Hole Festival. The week started off with pro level scuba diving training. There were several people to help gear up. As soon as you are out of the water, our hospitality team takes over, with a cup of hot soup, drinks and more food. All while other divers help take your kit off.

Once you are warmed up you rotate into a support position. This is the secret that brings everyone together. The amount of coordinated teamwork is nonnegotiable, and everyone takes their job seriously.

Instructors and even a course director got their certifications on site. International Scuba showed how training agencies can work well together with PADI and SSI both sharing the hole to create new ice diving professionals. With our new instructors and the group's experience, they had things running smoothly all week.

PADI, one of our title sponsors has stepped up big for several years. On loan for the weekend is Charles Dupont, ice diving expert and PADI Rep for much of Canada. SSI also showed up to represent. Mark R Scott III has been a large portion of our program. It took a year to fully embrace this PADI and SSI effort, but it works, and all of us are winners for it. Fourth Element was our first sponsor and a serious asset to the Ice Hole Festival. International Scuba also welcomed Boji Divers. They conducted most of the salvage on the lake by cutting the hole. Cutting ice is no easy chore.

"Our mission was to create ice divers from the top down, and I believe this festival has a very strong group of Instructors and Course Directors, ready to take us forward every year," says Rich Thomas, Owner and Operator of International Scuba.

Next year's event is already in the books. Save the date: February 8 through 11, 2024. Lake Okoboji, Iowa.

Dive Shops: reach out to receive promotional materials. Early bird shops will benefit with links to sign up in our ice hole shop locater, posters, and a minimum of one industry wide press release.

Carbon Monoxide Super-Meter for Inspectors and Scuba

LOS ANGELES, Calif., /ScoopCloud/ -- Forensics Detectors, a gas detection expert company residing in Los Angeles, California, has introduced its highly sensitive 0.1ppm carbon monoxide "super-meter," an innovation that has been designed to help users prevent low-level carbon monoxide poisoning and detect very small carbon monoxide leaks.

The Carbon Monoxide super-meter has been specifically designed to measure the smallest amount of carbon monoxide, where other carbon monoxide detectors and meters would simply not have the lower-level detection sensitivity. The carbon monoxide super-meter was designed for Scuba Divers, HVAC Inspectors and Air Quality Inspectors using superior sensing technology made with nanotechnology graphene electrochemical sensor technology to ensure maximum sensitivity down to 0.1ppm.

An important application for low-level carbon monoxide is heater and furnace inspection. Heater exchangers are found in all furnaces in homes and businesses. Most furnaces are gas burning and produce carbon monoxide. The carbon monoxide produced in a furnace is designed so that it is contained within the walls of its heat exchanger. The heat exchanger is the metal wall or tubing that is heated up when the burners are ignited. Carbon monoxide is released in the home when a heat exchanger forms small cracks or pin-holes due to thermal stress and corrosion.

The exhaust of the heater's combustion can enter the heated air stream and then accumulate in the living areas. Carbon Monoxide can also enter into vehicle cabins due to exhaust leaks, manifold cracks or poor vehicle cabin, trunk or panel seals. Over time, these leaks typically increase that may quickly lead to dangerous levels of carbon monoxide accumulation.

Another major problem is found with scuba diving. Carbon monoxide can enter a diver's air cylinder if the air compressor intake valve is placed too close to the engine exhaust or if the lubricating oil in a malfunctioning compressor becomes hot enough to partially combust, producing carbon monoxide that then resides in the diver gas bottle. If inhaled during diving, symptoms include nausea, headache, weakness, clumsiness, and confusion. Carbon monoxide affects are amplified as a diver's depth is increased. For example, a value of 5 ppm would have roughly the same effect as 25 ppm at the surface due to depth increasing the partial pressure of the inhaled carbon monoxide. Therefore, a small amount of carbon monoxide in a diver's cylinder can be amplified multiple times at depth, and as such, be extremely dangerous.

With these challenges in mind, Forensics Detectors created the carbon monoxide "super-meter" that detects carbon monoxide with 0.1ppm resolution. The super-meter is small, battery-powered and has a loud 85dB alarm that will buzz, vibrate and flash LEDs when the CO level has exceeded the adjustable alarm threshold. For real-life robustness and operation, the super-meter is also waterproof and passes a 20 foot shock drop test.

"Typical home wall mounted carbon monoxide detectors are made to alarm between 60 to 240 minutes when carbon monoxide exceeds 70ppm. This is simply too high for homeowners to be warned when their heat exchange fails. Other CO meters have a lower detection range of about 1, 2 or 3 ppm," says Dr. Koz, Chief Engineer at Forensics Detectors. "We wanted to give scuba divers, vehicle drivers, home occupants and HVAC technicians a new tool to detect carbon monoxide accumulation as soon and as low as possible, down to 0.1ppm with a real-time digital display that can handle the everyday knocks and rough handling while on the go. This is a game changing product at an affordable price point."

About Forensics Detectors

Forensics Detectors was established in 2017 by Dr. Koz to offer consumers affordable and innovative gas detectors, meters and analyzers. Dr. Koz is a world-renown expert in toxic gas detection and continues to be inspired to develop innovative products for public health and environmental well-being. The company is located in California on the lovely Palos Verdes Peninsula where the company designs, develops, manufactures and sources products that meet Dr. Koz's strict technical requirements.

Polovolo is a part of a successful recruiting experience. There are many great water polo showcases, clinics, club events and tournaments which athletes can take advantage and Polovolo works in a complimentary way with these things by connecting them all into a well-organized athlete story of activity, progression and accomplishment - at both the personal and athletic levels.

Polovolo also provides a solution to college coaches who need sport-specific information about the prospective student athletes delivered efficiently.

Badges are activated by Polovolo staff only after verification of the information submitted by the athlete. Access to Polovolo by coaches is free.

Stand Up Paddleboarding (SUP) Clinics and Tours in San Francisco, CA

SAN FRANCISCO, Calif. /ScoopCloud/ -- Adventure Out, California's leader in outdoor adventure, is now holding Stand Up Paddleboard clinics and tours at Mission Bay & Mission Creek Park in San Francisco. These programs will bring Adventure Out's professional and quality programming to the heart of San Francisco. On and off-board instruction will ensure that all participants are hitting the water safely and responsibly.

Mission Creek Park is truly a featured gem in the Mission Bay Parks system. It's the perfect place to experience open spaces and green places, right in downtown San Francisco and on the water's edge of the SF bay. The new SUP program by Adventure Out marks the first collaboration with the City of San Francisco and the Mission Bay Park System to offer high-quality, professional and legitimate outdoor guiding services at the City sanctioned park. Paddlers will be able to launch from the public boat ramp at the park and learn basic skills in the calm waters of Mission Bay, before heading out to McCovey Cove and the nearby San Francisco Giants baseball stadium.

Adventure Out CEO Cliff Hodges explains the importance of these guide-to-government relationships: "Several sectors of the outdoor guiding industry have been operating for decades now on public lands with little or no regulation. While this may have been convenient for independent guides, it has led to a decrease in professionalism and safety standards. Adventure Out has been working with local, state, and federal governments for the past 17 years to clearly define permit standards for all commercial guide services and outdoor professionals in every location that we operate."

Moduline Cabinets Chosen by the New York Yacht Club American Magic Racing Team

BROCKTON, Mass. /ScoopCloud/ -- Moduline Cabinets, a leading high-alloy aluminum cabinet manufacturer, was recently chosen by the New York Yacht Club American Magic racing team to outfit their work containers. The team is a combination of The New York Yacht Club and Bella Mente Quantum Racing Association. They will compete in the upcoming 36th America's Cup in New Zealand in 2021.

"We chose Moduline Cabinets to be installed in our containers because of the high quality, durability, weight, and looks of the customizable aluminum cabinet systems," said a representative of the yacht racing team.

Moduline Cabinets make the perfect choice for stationary or mobile work environments. The cabinets are lightweight for transport in the yacht containers, trailers, and mobile vehicles. Since they are lightweight, the gross vehicle weight (GVW) is reduced, improving gas mileage.

The design and construction of the high-alloy aluminum cabinets make them as strong, or stronger, than many steel cabinets available on the market. Aluminum keeps the overall weight to a minimum while also being corrosion resistant. This added benefit of aluminum makes them the right choice for any marine environment.

Moduline Cabinets are proudly made in the USA out of high-alloy aluminum. The engineering and precise workmanship reflects in the high quality cabinets, tool boxes, and accessories. We guarantee our cabinets and products to last a lifetime.

"We have seen a huge upswing in orders from yacht racing teams from around the globe and are very honored that a team like Bella Mente Quantum Racing has chosen our cabinets for their containers. We look forward to a long relationship with Bella Mente Quantum Racing and becoming more involved with the yacht racing industry in the coming years," said Tim Cass, Sales and Marketing Manager for Moduline Cabinets.

Moduline Cabinets has built high-alloy aluminum cabinet systems for almost 30 years. Their primary focus started with the auto racing industry. Since the company's beginning, other industries have sought their cabinet systems. Now, Moduline Cabinets serves almost every industry from garage and shop organization, to marine, aviation, education, and many more industries in-between.
