Diving with dangerous sharks without a cage appeals to the thrill seeker, Burgess says, adding, "It is taking further and further steps farther and farther toward danger." The tour, provided by Scuba Adventures of Riviera Beach, Fla., promoted its dives as great hammerhead and tiger shark expeditions. Although the company issued a blanket "no comment" when contacted by TIME, its literature made clear the divers would be in the water without any cages while the sharks were being fed - a practice banned in Florida...
...insure the best results we will be 'chumming' the water with fish and fish parts," the Scuba Adventures website stated. "Consequently, there will be food in the water at the same time as the divers. Please be aware that these are not 'caged' dives, they are open water experiences.

...changed its name from Money Key to Melody Key. His house rests on stilts and is built in the shape of two hexagons in order to better weather hurricanes.

His new Horizon watch is the result of his long fascination with black holes. Newson, who's designed everything from cars to door handles, named the Horizon for the edge of black holes, where gravity's pull becomes so intense that time disappears. The biomorphic design, with receding perforations that give the illusion of moving through space, heralds the relaunch of the Ikepod watch brand, which also includes redesigns of the Hemipode and Megapode watches...
