  • Estimating Your Air Consumption
    10/29/2019 Alert Diver | Estimating Your Air Consumption Estimating Your Air Consumption Advanced Diving Public Safety Diving By Mike Ange Mastering Neutral Buoyancy and Trim Military Diving Technical Diving Scientific Diving and Safety Program Oversight Seeing the Reef in a New Light ADVERTISEMENT Do you have enough breathing gas to complete the next dive? Here's how to find out. It is a warm clear day, and the Atlantic Ocean is like glass. As you drop into the water for a dive on North Carolina's famous U-352 wreck, you can see that the :: captain has hooked the wreck very near the stern. It is your plan to circumnavigate the entire structure and get that perfect photograph near the exposed bow torpedo tube. You descend to slightly below 100 feet, reach the structure and take off toward the bow. Unfortunately, you are only halfway, just approaching the conning tower, when your buddy signals that he is running low on air. Putting safety first, you return with him to the ascent line — cursing the lost opportunity and vowing to find a new buddy. If you've ever experienced the disappointment of ending a dive too soon for lack of breathing gas or, worse, had to make a hurried ascent because you ran out of air, it may surprise you to learn that your predicament was entirely predictable. With a little planning and some basic calculations, you can estimate how much breathing gas you will need to complete a dive and then take steps to ensure an adequate supply. It's a process that technical divers live by and one that can also be applied to basic open-water diving.

  • Directives for the Use of O 2, Nitrox, Trimix, Rebreathers, Stage Tanks
    Safe cave diving training with Swiss Cave Diving Instructors Directives for the use o f O 2 , Nitrox, Trimix, Rebreathers, S tage Tanks and DPVs during Cave Diving Courses General The rapid development in the area of sport diving in relation to the u sage of special gas mi x- tures and rebreather didn't stop in cave diving. However, for legal and technical reasons it is compulsory to control and regulate the use of such tec h nology during the training courses within reasonable limits.

Violation of those rules by the participants will lead to expulsion without any financial compensation. 1.

The r ule of thirds (or a more constraining one) has also to be applied to this tank. - all tanks must be equipped with one complete regulator rig (incl. pressure gauge). - all tanks that may be deposited somewhere in the cave during the dive have to be clearly marked with the name of the user . - addition ally , a ll tanks containing other gases than air must carr y a gas - tag and the MOD written in big sized numbers (approx.

  • <P>The Texas Education Agency (TEA) Proposes the Repeal of <*>100
    The State Board of Education (SBOE) adopts the repeal of §§130.13, 130.14, and 130.308-130.310 and new §§130.123-130.127, 130.315-130.318, 130.420-130.435, and 130.485-130.491, concerning Texas Essential Knowledge and Skills (TEKS) for career and technical education (CTE). The repeals and new sections are adopted without changes to the proposed text as published in the March 6, 2020 issue of the Texas Register (45 TexReg 1551) and will not be republished. The adopted repeals and new sections update the TEKS to align with recent legislation requiring the board to consolidate high school technology applications TEKS into CTE TEKS and eliminate TEKS for duplicative courses. The new sections also update the TEKS for CTE to add a new career cluster in energy to align with revised programs of study. REASONED JUSTIFICATION: The 86th Texas Legislature, 2019, passed House Bill 963, which required the SBOE, not later than March 1, 2020, to conduct a review of the TEKS for CTE and technology applications courses for Grades 9-12 and amend the board's rules to consolidate courses and eliminate duplicative courses. The SBOE is only required to implement this provision if the legislature appropriated money specifically for that purpose. If the legislature did not appropriate money specifically for that purpose, the SBOE may, but is not required to, implement a requirement using other appropriations available for that purpose. The legislature did not appropriate money specifically for the purpose of implementing this requirement. Texas is redesigning state-level programs of study to include coherent and rigorous content with challenging academic standards and relevant career and technical content.

    Update on Alzheimer’s Disease June, 2006 Stephen S. Flitman, MD, Medical Director 21 st Century Neurology 3100 North Third Ave Suite 100, Phoenix, Arizona (602) 265-6500 www.neurozone.org Alzheimer’s Disease (AD), first described by Dr. Alois Alzheimer in 1907, is a disorder that 10 million Americans are thought to have, but less than 40% are diagnosed or receiving treatment now. It is very common, affecting people ages 40-90 with 2-4% prevalence at ages 65- 75 and increasing in subsequent decades. After heart disease, cancer, and stroke it is the fourth leading cause of death in the US. AD is a disorder of the gray matter of the cerebral cortex. It is characterized clinically by gradually progressive dementia and pathologically by extraneuronal plaques and intraneuronal neurofibrillary tangles by light microscopy. AD progresses anatomically via the connections made by affected neurons. It starts in the entorhinal cortex and then spreads to the hippocampus, basal nuclei, and then to the neocortex. It spares primary motor and sensory cortices, preferentially attacking association areas in the frontal, parietal, and temporal lobes. Affected regions have neurochemical deficits of acetylcholine, glutamate, and serotonin. The degree of dementia correlates with the decline in these neurotransmitters in biopsy or autopsy tissue. While short-term memory deficits predominate early in the progressive dementias, the term dementia is reserved for a clinical syndrome of memory disorder plus at least one other cognitive realm: language, motor or procedural memory (praxis), spatial function, and executive function (decision-making, planning, overall control of behavior). As an etiology for dementia, AD accounts for about two-thirds of cases, with metabolic causes and Lewy body disease making up the lion’s share of the remaining third.

  • UNH/AAUS Diving Manual
    FOREWORD BY AAUS Since 1951 the scientific diving community has endeavored to promote safe, effective diving through self-imposed diver training and education programs. Over the years, manuals for diving safety have been circulated between organizations, revised and modified for local implementation, and have resulted in an enviable safety record. This document represents the minimal safety standards for scientific diving at the present day. As diving science progresses so must this standard, and it is the responsibility of every member of the Academy to see that it always reflects state of the art, safe diving practice. American Academy of Underwater Sciences ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS The Academy thanks the numerous dedicated individual and organizational members for their contributions and editorial comments in the production of these standards. The University of New Hampshire’s dive manual is based on the AAUS template that was approved by the AAUS BOD December 2018.

    shark tales Shark feed in South Africa Text and photos by Brandi Mueller On one of my recent dive trips, a post-diving dinner conversa- tion turned to capturing epic shark photographs. A magazine photo editor was in our group, and I wanted to know how pho- tographers got those perfectly lit, very close shots of sharks, which is typically an animal that is quite shy around divers. He told me shark feeds, or using bait to lure the sharks, is one of the only ways to get sharks close enough for those types of photos. There are limits of light in underwater photography and strobes and video lights only go so far, so getting them to come Shark Diving close is necessary. — Tips on Photographing Sharks There are few places in the world where one can see sharks quite close naturally then there is the super lucky dive where must sound like a freight train to sharks, dive guide, sometimes a bucket of bait is Before the dive (without divers changing the natural a curious shark comes close.
