Best of Pacificklaus, Part 3

I have been writing this blog since late 2012, for 6 1/2 years, on a variety of topics ranging from scuba diving, underwater photography, travel through Southeast Asia and random stuff which came to my mind! I recently checked Google Analytics to see which blog posts where the most popular ones. It’s an interesting mix between travel writing, scuba diving physiology, parodies and some completely out-of-the-box stuff.

Today: the most popular blog posts, numbers 4 to 2:

Number 4: A lot of Cockroaches

I like to travel, and I like travel writing. Sometimes you share your hotel room with creatures you’d rather avoid.

Number 3: Snooting

There are techniques in underwater photography, and there are gimmicks. A snoot is a gimmick. I am always happy to make fun of snoots and snoot-fetishists.

Number 2 : Tec diving Physiology

A few years ago an interesting study was published which systematically explored some issues in decompression theory. It’s been widely mentioned as a justification to switch to dissolved-gas based deco models. However, reading carefully what experiments (great imo) and calculations (hmmm…) they did is of great value. This is what this blog post is about.

I also posted a link to this post in the tech diving section of Scubaboard. This certainly brought out the elite battalion of the 1st keyboard warrior brigade!
