When they are underwater, how do the lantern things in the James Bond movie work? They are all scuba diving and they have fire looking things. What are they? Do they really exist or are they just another James Bond "gadget" that we will only dream about, at least for the next 50 years?

Water light refraction help?

On a calm, bright day, you're scuba diving in a deep lake (n = 1.33), 6.60 m from your sailboat. When you are 3.30 m below the surface, the top of the sailboat mast appears to you to be in a direction 33.0° from vertical. Calculate the height of the mast.

Question #13:

Please rate my essay? I really need some help!?

Here it is:

This summer, my family and I spent a week of July in the quaint sea side town of Ningaloo, located in the western extremes of Australia.
One day, a scuba diving session was scheduled for our family. Looking at the calm, cerulean blue sea water one wouldn’t expect to see something stupendous underneath it but all my incredulity vanished as the flurry of bubbles which shrouded my vision as a result of diving into the water cleared and revealed to me a colourful underwater metropolis of coral.
I tried to exclaim “wow” but what came instead were a few bubbles through my diving mask as I saw the eerie brain coral, the peculiar table coral and the rainbow of colours which painted these underwater marvels making them look astonishingly beautiful. The striped clownfish, the colour changing cuttlefish, the Yellow Tangs and the little damsel fish increased the beauty tenfold.
As I began plucking coral samples, I was unaware of a huge figure looming up behind me until I turned around and looked it straight in the eyes. It was at least 12 metres long and had a black body which was striped and spotted with pale blue. I immediately recognised it as a whale shark and didn’t panic as whale sharks are known to be very docile creatures. The titan serenely floated over to me and gave me a playful nudge. I realised it was a friendly creature so I grabbed onto a fin gently and to my surprise the creature began to swim, pulling me along for a ride. I mounted onto its back, holding onto its fin for support. It was like riding a horse except much more exciting. The shark began to move up and down, twisted its body and swam in loop de loops with such speed it was like an underwater roller coaster! Before I knew it the shark began to swim towards the surface and it actually leaped into the air like a dolphin. It was truly an enchanting experience with the salty sea wind in my hair, a beautiful sunset and riding my new friend (whom I incidentally named Obsidian)!

The topic was "An enchanting summer experience" and I came up with this (this is a true story mind you).

Question #14:

What are some good ideas, tricks, etc i can do to be more like the "Most Interesting Man in the World?"?

SHould i...

1. learn like 300 words in 10 different languages to make it SEEM like i know 10 different languages - so i only have to learn 3000 words to trick people into thinking i am fluent in 10 languages?

2. Collect souvenirs from eBay to make it look like i've visited every square inch of Planet Earth and sailed the 7 seas - even though i rarely leave my home town.

3. ALways have a tan, even though i hate the sun.

4. Put some fake scars on my body or face and have some cool stories as to how i "got" them.?

5. Have a shark tooth collection, and maybe buy a surf board with shark bites on it.?

6. Learn to scuba dive?

WHAT ARE SOME MORE, AND BETTER IDEAS??

Question #15:

What is a cutscene and how is it related to scuba diving?

Question #16:

Tampon problems..please help?

I'm 14, and I started my period at 11. I've been trying to use tampons for quite a while now, but I just can't do it. I'm not sure exactly where it goes, and at what angle. I'm supposed to be going to a scuba diving lesson tomorrow, I've looked forward to it for a long time, but my period is still here today and it most likely will be tomorrow. :(
I try and try, and every time it never works. It makes me angry at myself, and I end up in tears because I can't do a simple everyday task that all women do.
Is it possible for your vagina to be too small for a tampon? I've tried using the small applicator ones, but I still can't get them in. It feels horrible. The instructions on the leaflet I got with them don't help at all.
The most I've got one in is about 2cm, then the squirmy feeling is too much and it hurts if I push any more. Could this be because of my hymen? I'm don't really know what my hymen is supposed to look like either.

What am I doing wrong and does anyone have any tips for me? Please explain in detail, the things that seem obvious may not be to me. Thanks

Question #17:

Rate my essay please?

It's about an enchanting experience I had during summer vacation:


This summer, my family and I spent a week of July in the quaint sea side town of Ningaloo, located in the western extremes of Australia.
One day, a scuba diving session was scheduled for our family. Looking at the calm, cerulean blue surface one wouldn’t expect to see something stupendous underneath it but all my incredulity vanished as the flurry of bubbles which shrouded my vision as a result of diving into the water cleared and revealed to me a colourful underwater metropolis of coral.

The striped clownfish, the colour changing cuttlefish, the Yellow Tangs and the little damsel fish increased the beauty tenfold.
All of a sudden, a huge figure loomed up from behind the reef from which I was plucking samples. It was at least 12 metres long and had a black body which was striped and spotted with pale blue. I immediately recognised it as a whale shark and didn’t panic as whale sharks are known to be very docile creatures. The titan serenely floated over to me and gave me a playful nudge.

It was truly an enchanting experience with the salty sea wind in my hair, a beautiful sunset and riding my new friend (whom I incidentally named _____)!

See the "_____" well I can't think of a name for the whale shark. Any suggestions please? (But not Shamu...)
