Water Toys
August 26 , 2008
It’s good to be man (or woman!) new gadgets come out on a nearly daily basis and one of my new favorites is a fish finder.
Oh no, don’t roll your eyes. THIS fish finder is placed on your wrist! Go Go Gadget Fish finder! Stick your wrist into the water, and watch as little video fish pop up on the screen. No fish…well, that means you need to go out a bit further! Perfect for those in small canoes or fishing boats or out in a pond or small lake without today’s modern conveniences.
Cleaning the pool is a pain in every pool owner’s weekend chores. Getting kids to clean the pool- yeah, right! But with this new ‘toy’, even my 2 year old might be able to make some sort of contribution to pool maintenance! Introducing the Remote control pool boat skimmer! For a mere $139 (which, really is comparable to most high quality skimmers), you can clean and play for a full 50 minutes on a full charge! The boat picks up debris into a removable net which is cleaned out as needed, or when you are finished!
This is definitely on my wish list!!!
Do you have a new and favorite toy for fishing or the pool? Upload your videos today and share with the SplashVision community!
That’s a wrap!

Top 3 Beach Resorts & Spas
August 15 , 2008
As hard as it is to believe, summer is actually winding down. Fall is just upon us, and winter not that far behind (seriously! I promise!)
Wyndham Cozumel Resort & Spa
Looking to unwind after these busy summer days? Perhaps a trip to the top rated beach resort spas will refresh you for the rest of the season!
With summer winding down are you feeling a little tense? Stressed out? Are you craving your next vacation? Now is the perfect time to plan a trip to the
Caribbean , where some of the top spas in the world are offering some serious pampering.
The Spa at Rosewood Little Dix in Virgin Gorda in the British Virgin Islands is known as one of the most beautiful places to relax in the
Caribbean . If being tucked away in a lush tropical garden, high on a cliff overlooking the sea sounds good to you- this is the place! The spa specializes in Hot Stone Massage (a personal favorite!), an entire body ‘facial’ like treatment known as ‘The Caribbean Breeze’, and a two hour body massage and exfoliation treatment.
Next is Curtain Bluff in
Antigua ! This new spa is built into a bluff overlooking the ocean An intimate experience, the Curtain Bluff offers only 5 treatment rooms! Relax to the sound of waterfalls while you enjoy the caviar and champagne massage- you get to drink champagne, but its also poured all over your body! If you are sunburned from laying too long on the beach (tsk, tsk!) the Water Lilly Wrap helps relieve the pain and soreness associated with sunburn! And in case you are worried about those cellulite bumps on your backside, the Green Coffee Wrap promises to help reduce the appearance of fat and produces a nice, slimming effect!
And for my third top pick, we go back to the British Virgin Islands, to the
Peter
Island resort and spa! If exclusivity and luxury are requirements, this is the place to book! Conde Nast even named it as one of "The Best Places to Stay in the World"! While surrounded by natures perfection, you can enjoy a Thermal Sand Bundle Massage – which is kind of similar to a hot stone massage, only heated sand bags are placed on tension areas!
There it is folks- my three top spa retreats in paradise galore! Where is your favorite spa location? Upload your video and share your experience with the SplashVision community today!
That’s a (hot sandbag) wrap!

Strange World Below
August 15 , 2008
It’s a strange, strange world out there. Yes, we have strange people, but even under the great oceans lurks strangeness.
Indeed, some creatures of the sea can seem more alien than anything you can imagine. But even worse, some of them can seem more frightening than your worst nightmare.
Unlike most sea and landl life, these creatures survive in the depths of the oceans, with no sunlight to supply energy or help create food supplies. Few of them venture to where they can find ‘normal’ prey, but most survive using the earths energy and internal heat. Some prey on each other, while others still simply survive on microscopic organisms.
For years, scientists have been hoping to learn more about how these strange communities survive. They are targeting a region of undersea volcanic vents nearly 150 miles south of
Baja California
. The site is part of a seismically active region where lava oozes from fractures in the earth's crust.
The answer lies in these vents. As sea water circulates within the earth's cracks, it heats to more than 700° F, absorbs minerals from surrounding rocks and becomes saturated with sulfur-rich compounds. Under heat and pressure, these compounds are converted to hydrogen sulfide. A poisonous, malodorous substance, it is a feast to bacteria living in the geysers. They thrive upon it and, in turn, become the primary food source in this ecological niche.
Do you have videos and photos of strange sea creatures? Upload your video to SplashVision today!
That’s a wrap!
