Funny Ted Talk with marine biologist Thierney Thys taking us into the world of the Mola mola, or giant ocean sunfish. Didn’t know they fed on jellyfish, sweet. Via 10 Million Clicks for Peace. »They had one that gained 800 pounds in 14 months, I said, “now, *that’s a true American!”« :-P
Can’t believe it, but she’s being quoted and everything:

Upon the success of the single seat AS1 model, American company Aqua Star has created a two person underwater scooter, the AS2, allowing couples to share the underwater experience together. Both riders are free to dismount, swim around and climb back aboard, sharing air from scuba tanks in the diving helmet. Maybe an idea for the head coach to take his apprentice with him into the pool during technique practices? :-P
Check out the incredibly sweet AS1 too :-)

Didn’t expect that difference, thought it would be more resolution than color.
