Hockey Takes a Dive

Fancy your slapshot? Forget about it. Fastest skater in the rink? Big deal. Won the “Who-Can-Hold-His-Breath-the-Longest” competition? Bingo. Underwater Hockey may be your sport.

This melted-down version of ice hockey adds the feel of water polo and the strategy of soccer, but underwater hockey substitutes swimming and snorkeling for skating and checking.

Kenny Adventure - Scuba in Aruba v1.20

If what you crave for is a relaxing game experience, then join Kenny in his quest for treasures in Kenny's Adventure - Scuba in Aruba. This wonderfully-crafted game comes to life as Kenny, a brave young man, sets out on an underwater journey to search for a family relic. Crowned with the Crystal of Destiny, this relic brought good luck to his grandfather until it was stolen by pirates and broken into peaces. Now these peaces rest in different parts of the world. Your mission is to help Kenny find all the peaces and restore the family relic.

Upon the game launch, players will immerse themselves into wonderful underwater locals with exotic ocean flora, corals, and ruins of an ancient city in the background. These vibrant, cartoon-like visuals will accompany you all the way through sixty game levels in three diverse worlds. Along the way, you must collect different coins, gold, diamonds, and artifacts. The latter will be you key to the next level. Once you have collected all artifacts, the bathyscaphe will take you and Kenny to the next level.

For all this seeming simplicity, the game may be a challenge at times. You will meet different ocean creatures like hermit crabs, sea urchins, and octopuses. Guide Kenny with caution because their sharp spines and strong tentacles can hurt him. In places where it's impossible to walk, Kenny can swim. Jumping on a white jellyfish or on floating bubbles, Kenny can move up and reach for high places...[FileBuzz]

Scuba Poker

It's an event making a big splash in our community. For the fifth year, the Children's Miracle Network is getting divers to go all in for a good cause.

About 25 poker players turned out at Aqua Sports in south Springfield to play their best underwater hand. Organizers say the unique event is gaining a lot of support from divers and fans who just want to watch.

Chrystal Conway of Children's Miracle Network says "it's a great way to get the community involved. There's so many things going on. This is a different outlet so people can come and have fun, get in the water, and do something for the community as well."

Children's Miracle Network hoped to raise about 3 thousand dollars Saturday.

100% of the money goes to children's hospitals across the country...[OzarksFirst.com]
