  • Lake Huron Scuba Diving
    SOUTHERN LAKE ASSESSMENT SOUTHERN RECREATION PROFILE LAKE Scuba Diving: OPPORTUNITIES FOR LAKE HURON ASSESSMENT FINGER LAKES SCUBA LAKES FINGER The southern Lake Huron coast is a fantastic setting for outdoor exploration. Promoting the region’s natural assets can help build vibrant communities and support local economies. This series of fact sheets profiles different outdoor recreation activities that could appeal to residents and visitors of Michigan’s Thumb. We hope this information will help guide regional planning, business develop- ment and marketing efforts throughout the region. Here we focus on scuba diving – providing details on what is involved in the sport, who participates, and what is unique about diving in Lake Huron. WHY DIVE IN LAKE HURON? With wildlife, shipwrecks, clear water and nearshore dives, the waters of southern Lake Huron create a unique environment for scuba divers. Underwater life abounds, including colorful sunfish and unusual species like the longnose gar. The area offers a large collection of shipwrecks, and is home to two of Michigan’s 12 underwater preserves. Many of the wrecks are in close proximity to each other and are easily accessed by charter or private boat. The fresh water of Lake Huron helps to preserve the wrecks better than saltwater, and the lake’s clear water offers excellent visibility – often up to 50 feet! With many shipwrecks at different depths, the area offers dives for recreational as well as technical divers. How Popular is Scuba Diving? Who Scuba Dives? n Scuba diving in New York’s Great Lakes region stimulated more than $108 In 2010, 2.7 million Americans went scuba A snapshot of U.S.

In my line of work as a dive industry professional, I attend a lot of dive shows and get to meet a lot of people, most of them nice and interesting in various ways. It was also at a dive show in Italy, many years ago, that I first met Andrea Donati and his partner, Daniela Spaziani, of Ponza Diving. I clearly remember my first impression of how sympathetic, unpretentious and genuine the two came across, which scores a lot of points in my book. They appeared competent and organised, and with their operation located in one of the most picturesque locations I have ever seen, it did not take any arm twisting to lure me down there for a visit.

  • Stepping Into Rebreather Rebreather Diving
    SSteptepping into rebreather diving By Paul Beenaround Alex had always been interested in learning to dive with the new breed of closed circuit rebreather’s that had appeared in recent years, so when he was suddenly faced with the choice of a dance weekend in chilly Munich or a week learning to dive with them in the Red Sea it wasn’t a hard decision to make. He was soon on his way with Easyjet flying over the Swiss Alps en-route for Sharm el sheik. Everything went very smoothly and he had soon settled down in the Camel hotel, a slightly upmarket one in the centre of Sharm which was not far from the Red Sea College where he would be doing his rebreather course. The next day he met Sherif, an impish Egyptian who was going to be his mentor for the combined basic and advanced four day course. After some classroom work he was shown the intricate workings of the Poseidon MK6 rebreather, the only one recognised by PADI for recreational sports divers on their recently introduced rebreather course. It was a very complex piece of kit, largely controlled by computer software, which took away the risk of diver error. This is unlike many other versions on the market that had caused accidents and deaths, usually through the diver making a mistake. As nice as it was to know that it was keeping him alive, the Poseidon rebreather’s had had many software problems that largely prevented you either starting a dive or necessitated aborting a dive halfway through for often non-existent faults.

  • Witness to a Rebreather Fatality
    Witness to a Rebreather Fatality Copyright ©2008 by Mark Derrick, IANTD CCR Instructor Permission is granted to copy and/or distribute this document under the terms of the GNU Free Documentation License On a pleasant afternoon in March of 2008, off the coast of Hillsboro Beach Florida, I suddenly found myself at the back of a dive boat kneeling over a fellow rebreather diver and administering CPR. This article contains my opinions and speculation about what happened that day, and is offered to help other rebreather divers understand some of the factors that led to the accident. It assumes the reader is familiar with closed-circuit rebreathers. The boat was a commercial dive charter operation and the itinerary was a light technical dive on a wreck followed by a drift dive on a reef. Among the boat passengers were several divers with instructor level ratings, although none were acting in an instruction capacity. Of particular note, the boat captain was an open-circuit (OC) technical diving instructor, and an instructor for DAN’s Diving Emergency Management course. The dive master was a CPR instructor. Also aboard was an experienced technical closed-circuit rebreather (CCR) instructor (myself), along with a non-diving rider who was an OC technical diving instructor. The victim was an experienced OC instructor and semi-closed rebreather (SCR) instructor who had recently received a CCR instructor rating. The first dive was unremarkable except that at conclusion of the first dive, during exit from the water, one of the divers dropped a bailout cylinder. Once all the other divers were aboard, during the surface interval I did a bounce dive to find and recover the cylinder.

    Member of the dive team training in a Mexican cenote Text by Sergey Baykov Photos by Sergey Baykov and Anna Loznevaya On August 14 in Dahab this year, our team of three divers dived a distance of 10km in eight hours using rebreathers. The purpose of this experiment was a practical test of human capabilities and the per- formance of rebreath- ers on a long dive, while under the influence of physical activity. It was in autumn 2010 that my colleague, Sergey Gorpinyuk, proposed the original idea to me: to dive a distance of 7km. As to a location for the experiment, we chose the colorful Mexican cenotes (caves) because they have long passages, calm current and stable direction. In addition, they have markup distances and many exits. We needed only to mark the way in the caves with guidelines. The rebreather was chosen as a technical means for the realization of the project. I was already certified as a Full 10k on a Rebreather— Making the Long Dive Cave Diver, but at that time, I SERGEY BAYKOV had just begun to dive on closed- circuit devices.

  • Scuba Basics: the Ins and Outs of Diving
    Scuba Basics: The Ins and Outs of Diving by Noreen Tips for Shore Diving Shore diving offers diver a freedom unlike boat diving, unless of course you own the boat. Apart from not having to take long boat rides to the dive sites a major plus for those that get sea sick easily, you’re not limited to the boats schedule and can dive for as long or short as you and your dive buddy choose. It’s also a cheaper and convenient option for divers on a budget or for those that just like the flexibility of diving when they want. The most exciting part however of shore diving is the element of exploration and adventure. Unlike in boat dives, where you are dropped off at the dive site itself and have a captain or dive guide who knows the site, tides, currents and other considerations, but with shore dives you’re mostly on your own (unless you opt for a dive master to accompany you). Shore diving requires you to start planning more than just the dive at the site. It starts with getting to know the conditions and where exactly the site is, plotting a route to get to it, finding the best entry points and techniques, having what will you need when you get there and keeping your scuba gear to a minimum, but having all the essentials as you carry everything on your back to and from the dive site right to exit routes, in short, shore diving requires a lot of planning and preparation to get it right in order to have a pleasant experience.
