The Complete Diving System 2 Divator Product Overview PRODUCT OVERVIEW DIVATOR THE COMPLETE DIVING SYSTEM 2 DIVATOR PRODUCT OVERVIEW A tragic bus accident in Sweden after the Second World War raised the concern that divers could not be quickly deployed to the crash site. The Swedish government asked Interspiro (“AGA” at that time) if they could provide a rapid deployment diving device for search and rescue operations. Interspiro began an extensive research program and in 1948 the Worlds first underwater breathing apparatus for search and rescue was presented to the Swedish authorities. The device, commonly referred to as the “iron bed” (because of the shape of the carrying frame), featured a breathing valve with inhalation and exhalation in the same diaphragm. The first of many Interspiro innovations in the field of diving. Today, over 60 years later, the latest generation of Interspiro SCUBA – DIVATOR – is still the preferred choice for professional divers around the World. The Interspiro diving philosophy is a system approach. The reason is simple and obvious, to obtain the highest possible safety level for professional divers. © 2015 Interspiro AB, Sweden.

Even if you are not acquainted with Interspiro products, it is quite likely that you have seen the DIVATOR Full Face Mask watching professional divers on television. But the real magic is not the face mask, rather is it the balanced breathing valve with its high capacity, low breathing resistance and extreme resilience to dangerous fluids. FULL FACE MASKS & BREATHING VALVES 5 FULL FACE MASKS & BREATHING VALVES The DIVATOR Full Face Mask consists of a balanced breathing valve with high air flow capacity and low breathing resistance. The DIVATOR Breathing Valve is available without safety pressure, and with safety pressure for diving in contaminated water. Specially-designed visor gives divers excellent field of vision while reducing positive buoyancy. The full face mask can be equipped with the DIVATOR Heads-Up Display (HUD) low air warning and the DIVATOR Hatch, an ambient breathing valve enabling divers to keep the face mask donned while on stand-by. 4 2 1 3 1 The balanced DIVATOR breathing valve is one of the best- 3 The DIVATOR Full Face Mask is very easy to drain from water tested breathing valves available.

HATCH The DIVATOR Hatch consists of an ambient breathing valve mounted on the side of the full face mask visor – not interfering with the field of vision – and gives the diver ambient air while on stand-by or at surface level. The Hatch is easy to operate: pull to open and push to close. Ambient breathing will not only increase cylinder duration time but will enable the diver to keep the full face mask donned while on stand-by.

Haller1 Cooperative Institute for Limnology and Ecosystems Research, University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Robert A. Dalrymple and Ib A. Svendsen Center for Applied Coastal Research, University of Delaware, Newark, Delaware, USA Received 4 May 2001; revised 17 October 2001; accepted 6 November 2001; published 28 June 2002. [ 1 ] Wave and current measurements are presented from a set of laboratory experiments performed on a fixed barred beach with periodically spaced rip channels using a range of incident wave conditions. The data demonstrate that the presence of gaps in otherwise longshore uniform bars dominates the nearshore circulation system for the incident wave conditions considered. For example, nonzero cross-shore flow and the presence of longshore pressure gradients, both resulting from the presence of rip channels, are not restricted to the immediate vicinity of the channels but instead are found to span almost the entire length of the longshore bars. In addition, the combination of breaker type and location is the dominant driving mechanism of the nearshore flow, and both are found to be strongly influenced by the variable bathymetry and the presence of a strong rip current. The depth-averaged currents are calculated from the measured velocities assuming conservation of mass across the measurement grid. The terms in both the cross-shore and longshore momentum balances are calculated, and their relative magnitudes are quantified. The cross-shore balance is shown to be dominated by the cross-shore pressure and radiation stress gradients in general agreement with previous results, however, the rip current is shown to influence the wave breaking and the wave-induced setup in the rip channel.

My internship took place at the New Heaven Reef Conservation Program on the island of Koh Tao, Thailand. During my internship I performed a study on the corallivorous Crown of Thorns starfish, which is threatening the coral reefs of Koh Tao due to high density ‘outbreaks’. Understanding the biology of this threat is vital for developing effective conservation strategies to protect the vulnerable reefs on which the islands environment, community and economy rely. Very special thanks to Chad Scott, program director of the New Heaven Reef Conservation program, for supervising and helping me make this possible. Thanks to Devrim Zahir. Thanks to the New Heaven Reef Conservation team; Ploy, Pau, Rahul and Spencer.

I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving. I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day. Now I’m able to teach the success I had to new Instructors and I look forward to share my passion and success in Diving with you!
