Monday the 15th march

For my front cover, I am going to include a picture of me scuba diving. There will be lots of colours in the background and I will include facts about scuba diving and why I enjoy it so much. I will try to persuade my reading audience to be more interested in scuba diving. With other facts like how it became a sport/hobby, how i started to get into it and all my passions for scuba diving. My double page spread will have lots of photos i have taken of scuba diving and all my facts I know about my hobby. Hopefully my front cover will be eye catching and will persuade the public to read. 

my title is going to be -  the deep 

my first paragraph is going to be about be about the general idea of scuba diving-

i am going to talk about PADI, which is the scuba diving course i took part in. PADI is a really helpful scuba diving course. I did the beginners course and the advanced open diving course. You also have to do written work for PADI. I sat around 2 exams before i was allowed to dive, and there were many instructors their guiding me through it. 

Tips for diving would be to be confident and stay calm, if you do not remain calm then your breathing will speed up the rate your oxygen will decrease. Scuba diving is more than just a hobby, its something that is supposed to sooth you as you indulge into an underwater world you cannot see often. You get so much thrill and happiness from diving, and that is why it is my hobby. 

here are some famous divers that i could talk about in my magazine

• Victor Berge – Swedish diving pioneer and author (1891–1974) helmet diving
• James F. Cahill – American scuba diving pioneer (1926–2008) credited with introducing scuba diving to the USA.^[2]

• Philippe Diolé – French author and undersea explorer (1908–1977)

scuba diving facts that i could include in my article

• Scuba stands for “Self contained underwater breathing apparatus”.
• Sharks kill 8 to 12 people each year world wide. ...
• Once you get below 10 metres depth, you can't see red or yellow!
• Sound travels five times faster underwater than in air, which makes it almost impossible to establish where sound is coming from, as we rely on the time difference between our ears to do so.
• Oxygen becomes toxic when under pressure, so at depths greater than 42 metres, special gases with low oxygen are used.
• Jacques Cousteau invented Scuba gear in 1943, calling his cylinder the aqualung.
• Nitrogen narcosis affects all divers – it’s the effect of Nitrogen being breathed at depths of more than 25 metres. It’s a little like being slightly drunk.
• Children can learn to dive as young as 8 – the limiting factor is that they must be able to manage the weight of the equipment.
• The Great barrier reef is the largest living organism on the planet, with a surface area greater than England.
• The Gray Whale migrates more than 10,000 miles every year.
• The diving equivalent of the mile high club is called the 20 metre club.

i could base some of my article on the risks of scuba diving, and the fear that is associated with it. You can feel very intimidated. especially when your surroundings are as vast as when your in the oceans. You are within other animals habitats, and you always need to be aware of your surroundings. My dad went scuba diving and was stung by a box jellyfish, and he had a huge scar on his arm for years. Scuba diving runs in my family, as well as injury.

i will be talking about what i am aware of when i am diving, and perhaps the storys of my family members experiencing issues and dangers when diving.
