A pokemon doesn’t need to be at a certain level to learn surf. As long as you have the HM surf you can teach it to any water pokemon or any pokemon that is able to learn it.
Surf is used in the ocean/lake [obviously] and is helpful to get through different water routes and to islands. The attack is quite powerful and effective.
So yes your goldeen can use it.

That idiot Steve Irwin – the australian nature lover who fed an aliigator while holding his 2 month old infant – has finally been killed by Nature.
A Manta Ray whipped him with its tail while he was swimming -scuba diving near a coral reef.
How exactly does a manta ray kill you? Does it put a huge hole in you or is the poison just very strong?
Is there a body suit that can protect you from a ray’s tail?

USA Today reported on an upcoming toy that “will let you test and hone your Jedi-like abilities.”
Well, according to the article, the Force Trainer “comes with a headset that uses brain waves to allow players to manipulate a sphere within a clear 10-inch-tall training tower.”
The wireless headset will read the person’s brain activity “and the circuitry translates it to physical action.”
This fall, you can pretend to be Yoda for about $100.
Is this the infancy of mind control? If it can detect brain activity, doesn’t it only make sense that our brain can be influenced by a similar “transmitting” device?
Not so many years ago, you would crank the handle and speak into the mouthpiece asking Sara to connect you with Doc Johnson. Now we surf the net with our phones while driving down the road.
Today it’s a headset you wear to manipulate a ball. Tomorrow, it’s the hidden wires in buildings transmitting messages via “waves” to manipulate us to buy this thing or vote that way.
Is this just an experiment to assess the effectiveness of a future mind control technology?
In recent months, Newsweek detailed how a vending machine already exists that can send out a subliminal “audio” signal to whatever human being may be walking by it, with the suggestion that “You are thirsty now. Wouldn’t you like a soda.” And as this suggestion exists below the normal conscious sensory apparatus of a human, it has an extremely powerful effect. The entire experience takes place through beaming microwave energy at the hapless human.
All over this County, phone crews are updating cable installations, optic fiber channels, and other high tech installations. Some critics have pointed out that these installations could easily carry the “mind-control” microwave pulse signal devices as well. With these devices the subliminal message might not be involved with purchasing sodas, but with causing indifference to an unwanted war.
We as a species have never experienced an onslaught of such electromagnetic pollution before. Although the earth itself operates through a giant magnetic field, the current that it puts out is direct current, not the pulsing emanations of these waves. We are now a guinea pig species. What will come of these experiments will only be known as time unfolds.

How long does it take to train for recreational scuba diving? I’m interested in seeing coral reefs and some interesting marine life.
Also, if anyone has any advice/tips on schools in Toronto that would be great.
ps. I have average swimming skills
Thank you!

I visited Hurghada on the shores of the Red Sea in Feb. of ‘98 and I could swear coral reef color patterns were a lot more vivid and varied than what I saw during my recent visit in September of ‘07. I am wondering if water tempearture changes have an effect on their colors, or what I saw is the result of erosion due to excessive snorkeling and scuba diving.
