Scuba Education Book For Children

aquanautica-kraki As an initiative of Dieter Heinz, former owner of IWM, we finished development of the Aquanautica in 2006. The educational book for children scuba courses in shallow waters has 27 pages and explains all details in a language that makes the complicated subjects easily understandable. All illustrations and layouts were made by Calamar-Park (or the former Underwater Promotion Office) while all contents were supervised and directed by Dieter Heinz who took a great part in developing children equipments for MARES/Italy.

The German version of the Aquanautica received wide appreciation by the CMAS (Confédération Mondiale des Activités Subaquatiques) and was officially recommended by the Federation of Diving Centers VIT (Verband Internationaler Tauchschulen). Continue reading “Scuba Education Book For Children”

Diving Bell ‘Medusa’

Together with the popular MARES Diving Center of IWM of Dieter Heinz in Antalya/Turkey we decided in 2006 to construct a simple diving bell for touristic purposes in a depth of appr. 9m. This diving bell would serve as an advertisement carrier, sales tool and later as a decompression stop bell if successfully positioned. It should last for at least two years being removed during six winter months. As a design we wanted the construction to follow the shape of a jelly fish and to look a bit futuristic. After agreeing and drawing the final design we calculated costs of 1000 € which included the umbrella, the skeleton, the counterweights and the working force. Continue reading “Diving Bell ‘Medusa’”

Pressure Experiment

The pressure difference in passenger planes is easily understandable if you take a soft and empty plastic bottle, close it at the highest position of your flight (in the upper part of the image) and watch again while landing. You will see that the pressure makes the bottle shrink (in the lower part of the image). Continue reading “Pressure Experiment”

About CalamarPark.com

CalamarPark.com is an independent ‘Initiative for Studies on Aquanautic‘. Our aim is to develop a new generation of modular, serial underwater habitats for human occupation with emphasis on human scale and habitability. The facility and its mobile module will be open to several interdisciplinary applications, such as underwater archaeology, specialized tourism, space training missions etc.

Within this scope we are convinced that this is the best approach to attract attention for the marine habitat and increase interest to its environmental issues.
