    Everybody thanks for heartiest welcome! I didn't expect so many posts in this tread!
    Dan, concerning the name of the Black Sea there are some hypotheses
    1 . Turks and other conquerors, trying to subdue the population of the coast of the sea, met furious repulse from local population, for as nicknamed the sea — Black, inhospitable.
    2 . One more hypothesis of an origin of the name is based that metal subjects (for example, anchors), the seas lowered in water are deeper than 150 m for a long time, became covered by a raid of black color thanks to effect of hydrogen sulfide.
    3 . The name to the Black Sea was given by the seamen observing black color of water during storms.


    Best Regards.

For the first time a mask with a snorkel I put on at the age of six years, since then I try not to remove it. Now I live in a Palm Coast, FL, I dive/spearfish often, my favorites places is Ponce inlet and Jupiter Florida. I am a PADI dive master candidate.
