Smart Swimming Goggles With Augmented Reality To Identify Organisms
I don't go anywhere without a few gadgets in my bag, which is probably one of the reasons I don't dive or go underwater much. Water and gadgets don't typically go together unless you go out of your way to buy the waterproof stuff. These smart swimming goggles could change all that though. They are s ...
World’s Oldest Rock Found…It’s 4.4 Billion Years Old & Tiny
If you are wondering why that picture is so blurry, it's because it's magnified so much. The world's oldest rock was recently found in Australia, and it's the size of a grain. It's about as wide as a human hair, and this 4.4 billion year old "rock" is turning out to be quite significant as far as pr ...
Underwater Egg Trick: Divers Crack Egg Deep In The Ocean
Do you know what happens to an egg if it's cracked deep in the ocean? In this example, the egg was cracked 32m below the surface. It's one of those interesting tidbits of information that might help you on some random Saturday night when you are playing an obscure trivia game with a case of beer and ...
Woah! Enormous Sand Drawings On The Beach
It seems the beach inspires many artists. Since a lot of us grew up making sand castles, I suppose it only makes sense. After I saw the pictures in Richard's article entitled 18 Astonishing Star Wars Sand Sculptures, I didn't think I would see sand art again that would impress me. That is pretty muc ...
Have Fun Making Pawprints In The Sand
This is an official cute alert! How fun would it be to go to the beach and walk in wet sand leaving animal footprints (or would that be pawprints) behind? Super fun, right? That's what I'm saying, which is why I'm bummed that these sandals are only made for kids. I wonder if I can squeeze my foot in ...
The Octopus That Lives In A Beer Bottle
We talk a lot about recycling on Bit Rebels. We only have one planet Earth, and once it's ruined, we can't just make another one. We have to each take responsibility and do our individual parts to help the environment thrive. It's really the only way to make a difference. It really takes the par ...
The Smartest Animal I’ve Ever Seen
Everything that I'm about to write is based on the assumption that the video below is real. It's so nuts to me that an octopus could do this, so I have to consider the fact that it's fake; however, for right now, I will assume it's for real.
So, we all get it that animals are smart, right? Afte ...
Gorgeous Vacuum Cleaners Created From Ocean Trash
It's no secret that our oceans are polluted with trash. Plastic is the most common material found on our beaches. Misty did two massive beach clean-ups this year, and she confirmed that plastic was what they picked up the most. She even wrote an article about how we can turn discarded plastic int ...
Check Out These Tuxedos In The Ocean!
This is just bizarre to watch! There is something so perplexing about seeing men in tuxedos swim in the ocean. This latest Improv Everywhere event took place at Coney Island where hundreds of people frolicked on a mile long stretch of beach in their formal wear.
This event, which took months to ...
Here’s An Inflatable Pool For Your…Boat!
If you thought you'd seen it all, then this is going to make you realize you haven't. I have always thought that if you own a boat, that means you're kind of close to the water when you're on it, especially if it's in the water being used. However, I guess I was wrong cause if you need a pool when ...
Your Future Underwater House – Design Inspiration
Could you imagine living underwater in a self-sustained pod? I think the idea sounds intriguing, but I bet in real life, it would get old quick. After all, there wouldn't be any restaurants or nail salons down there, right? :)
Seriously though, this design is very inspiring to me. We've writte ...
The Most Thrilling Free Dive You’ll Ever See
I haven't been putting many videos in my articles lately. The reason is because I've become somewhat of a video snob. It has to be a really, really captivating one for me to include it.
This 4-minute video took my breath away. I've always been fascinated with base jumping, and I've even writt ...
This Teenager Set A World Record In Her Pink Boat
What were you doing when you were 16 years old? I was working at Wendy's, talking to my girlfriends about boys, and experimenting with blue eyeshadow for the first time.
Guess what this teenager just did? Jessica Watson, a 16 year old from Australia, sailed around the world, by herself, in her ...
The World’s Smallest Cannon Is Lethally Fun
I think everyone is fascinated with pirates and those huge ships sailing the seven seas in search of gold and jewelry. At least it seems that way if you look at the success of the Pirates of The Caribbean movie series starring Johnny Depp as Jack Sparrow. Each movie is more extraordinary than the ...
Twitter Flip-Flops: Perfect for Adding Followers at the Beach
A few days ago Misty wrote an article about creative summertime flip-flops. Just like Misty, I love flip-flops. I have at least a dozen pairs and I wear them all the time. I have one more pair to add to our Bit Rebels collection. When I saw these, I instantly knew I had to share them with you.
