Diver Roger Bly near the conning tower of the Yukon

From what I’ve heard unofficially, this woman was finishing her Advanced Open Water course and during her second dive on the Yukon, something went wrong and she was unconscious on the surface. The life guards were called and able to wake her up. So, this story has a happy ending, the woman walked off the boat.

The woman was exploring the the former Canadian destroyer Yukon when she “had some difficulties and made a rapid ascent,” Lt. Nick Lerma said. “When she surfaced, she was unconscious.”

Her instructor and the crew of the charter diving boat Marissa pulled the woman from the water and rendered first aid, and called lifeguards around 11:20 a.m., Lerma said.

She was able to walk off the rescue boat when she returned to shore, the lieutenant said. She was taken to UCSD Medical Center.

This wreck/artificial reef was used as a missile tower test platform for submarine based warfare. They would load a missle into it, sink it underwater and launch the missile. Of course, when the Navy was finished with it, the ceremoniously dumped it into the ocean as an artificial reef, very close to the Mexican Border.

So Adobe released an online version of an image editor that that are calling, Adobe Photoshop Express. It’s targeted at people who need to do casual and basic image edits.

It’s not going to replace the full blown Adobe Photoshop but it will solve for most people’s needs. Plus, it comes with 2 gigs of storage and allows you to connect with some popular social media sites but not Flickr as of yet.
Give it a shot, it’s worth the price and does a pretty good job.
