Ziefle, JD, MBA COPY EDITOR: Dana Cook Grossman DAN thanks all of the individuals involved in the worldwide diving safety network. This network includes many hyperbaric physicians, DAN on-call staff, nurses, and chamber technicians who complete DAN reporting forms. DAN also thanks local sheriffs, police, emergency medical personnel, US Coast Guard personnel, medical examiners, coroners, and members of the public who submit incident data. 2 ANNUAL DIVING REPORT – 2018 EDITION FOREWORD Risk is inherent to diving, whether the diver breathes compressed gas or holds their breath. The diving environment is unforgiving. Fortunately for divers, most incidents can be avoided entirely with safe practices, but incidents still occur. Prior to 1980, divers involved in incidents were largely on their own, but that changed with the establishment of the Divers Alert Network® (DAN®). DAN® is the only organization of its kind. Any diver can contact DAN for expert medical advice from our in-house physicians and medical professionals, and we follow up on and continually monitor diving incidents from around the world. DAN Research works year-round to collect and analyze dive incident, injury and fatality data, and we publish the findings here in the DAN Annual Diving Report. In this 2018 edition of the Annual Diving Report, our goal remains unchanged: to raise awareness of the risks and hazards associated with diving and to promote safer diving practices. Promoting dive safety and injury prevention is essential to cultivating a safe diving community, and with the help of a growing global network of contributors, the DAN Annual Diving Report has become the most widely applicable report to date. This report not only highlights our expanded efforts to monitor and prevent injuries internationally but also provides vital insights for divers, dive professionals, dive businesses and even chamber operators seeking to mitigate risks and prevent injuries. The first step in reducing injuries is to identify them, and the next step is to understand them. In this report, DAN identifies the most critical risks divers face and uses easily interpreted figures, intriguing case studies and informative passages to help divers comprehend those risks. This content is relevant to divers at all levels, shedding new light on diving incidents and allowing divers to learn from the experiences of others without incurring the risks themselves. We encourage you to share this report with your peers, colleagues, superiors and anyone else you know who wishes to learn more about safe diving. Giving divers the knowledge they need to make safe decisions above and below the surface is at the core of DAN’s mission. Understanding how and why injuries occur allows the community to benefit from individual lessons learned. With the support of all the DAN offices and our contributors worldwide, we are committed to providing resources that we hope will resonate with divers everywhere. William M.

    WD - 2 WHVS 4: 2009 Keywords: conservation; coral reefs; environment; marine recreation; preferred practices for good environmental behavior; SCUBA diving, snorkeling, SNUBA diving. Voluntary Standard for Recreational SCUBA diving and Snorkeling Activities in West Hawaii Waters Prepared by: Members of the West Hawaii Community with the assistance of the Coral Reef Alliance. Abstract: This voluntary standard specifies requirements for environmental performance, conservation practices and operational safety that enhance SCUBA and SNUBA diving, and snorkeling activities while minimizing environmental impacts of recreational usage on fragile marine ecosystems in the waters of West Hawaii - particularly near-shore coral reefs, related coastal environments and impacts on marine species such as cetaceans, turtles, monk seals, and other animals. This standard was developed by community members within West Hawaii representing key interest groups with the assistance of the Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) and the West Hawaii Standards Taskforce (WHST). WHST and CORAL disclaim all liability for its use, application, or adaptation. This standard is subject to revision at any time and must be reviewed every five years and if not revised either reaffirmed or withdrawn.

  • BAHAMAS the ONE and ONLY RESORT Two Tickets to Paradise
    2017 2017 BAHAMAS THE ONE AND ONLY RESORT Two Tickets to Paradise Our gratitude for what you do knows no boundaries. Hubbell Lighting attributes our success to the countless hours you spend helping customers find the right products for every project. That’s why we’ve planned this great escape to the carefree Caribbean to reward you. Our vibrant, festive journey includes 4 nights & 5 days on the tranquil shores of Paradise Island, Bahamas. The itinerary is the perfect blend of indulgence, camaraderie and adventure. Breathtaking sights, decadent accommodations, tropical drinks, golf, shopping, and exhilarating outdoor activities await you. More Than Just Another Pretty Place Just southeast of Florida lie 700 islands, cays, and islets known as the Commonwealth of the Bahamas. The warm and winterless expanse of islands is home primarily to African Americans (90%) who are descendants of freed slaves from Bermuda and the United States. While English is the official language, many Bahamians speak an English based Creole dialect. The culture is rich with the influence of African, Caribbean and European influences. Folklore and legends abound in the colorful islands, including tales of the lost city of Atlantis. Throughout the islands, you’ll be serenaded by African rhythms, Caribbean calypso, English folk songs and the unique Bahamian goombay traditional music, combining African musical traditions with European colonial influences. Junkanoo is uniquely Bahamian and exists nowhere else. It’s an incredibly energetic, colorful parade made up of brightly costumed Bahamians dancing and “rushin” to the music of cowbells, drums, horns and whistles. The popular belief is that John Canoe, an African tribal chief, created Junkanoo when he demanded the right to celebrate with his people even after he was brought to the West Indies as a slave in the 16th century.
