  • Why Heating System in Important Underwater?
    HEATING SYSTEM Extend Your Limits & Stay Dry & Keep Warm Would you like to dive longer, deeper and in a more comfortable manner? Please see our innovative heating products. They will let you spend more time under water and facilitate the penetration of wrecks and caves by providing the feeling of warmth and increasing comfort and safety. Choose comfort and feel the difference while diving in our heating system! THE INFLUENCE OF COLD WATER ON A DIVER’S BODY Thermal protection is an important factor during diving. Its failure can cause thermoregulatory disorders. Without extra protection, most divers consider the temperature of 27°C as comfortable when under water. But what if you dive in colder waters? Or longer and deeper? Learn about the factors that affect your thermal balance and safety during the dive: 1. Body cooling Under water both diver’s body and mind must be efficient at all times. A diver whose temperature has fallen down begins to think and act unreasonably and thoughtlessly. Proper temperature of hands is an extremely important issue. When in emergency, capable hands can save your life. Sometimes you only have few seconds to solve the problem, like unfastening a snap hook. It takes much longer when your hands are cold. 2. Constricted blood vessels Blood vessels constrict in low temperature. Constricted blood vessels may cause decompression to be dangerous. Decompression limits are calculated for an average diver whose body functions properly and is not cooled down. However, the constricted blood vessels cause the blood to circulate more slowly. Gas bubbles may cause embolism.

  • DCS Treatment Updates
    Treatment of Decompression Sickness Operational Update – May 2001 Aspirin is NO LONGER USED in the treatment of DCS. Reasons: ASA administration has never been shown to help prevent or treat bubbles DCS may induce microhemorrhages in tissues. ASA slows clotting. Hard to determine if symptom decrease is due to HBO treatment table or ASA This may be a critical treatment decision factor if using TT-5 Hyperbaric Oxygen is the only necessary and sufficient drug for DCS Employment of 100% O2 by tight fitting aviators mask during transportation to HBO chamber For mild to moderate symptoms with no CNS or spinal neurological involvement: Use cycles of 50 min of 100% O2, followed by a 10 min air break, instead of continuous O2 Reasons: Air breaks minimize likelihood of pulmonary and CNS O2 toxicity Rehydrate & feed patient orally during air break May obviate need for IV rehydration Bathroom privileges during air breaks You ever wear a tight fitting oxygen mask for 3 hours straight? Patient can call spouse – “I’ll be home late tonight.” Air breaks are NOT used during SLO2 (Surface Oxygen) treatment protocols For severe symptoms, chokes, shock, CNS, spinal, or worsening Sx despite O2 therapy: Use continuous O2 therapy with IV rehydration (0.9% Saline or Ringers Lactate, NOT D5W) In general, do not pass up an otherwise acceptable monoplace facility (with BIBS) in favor of a multiplace facility for treatment of severe DCS or AGE if the additional travel time to the multiplace exceeds 30 minutes. Less than 30 minutes difference, or mild to moderate symptoms, requires the sending physician to consider risks and benefits of treatment delay versus multiplace advantages.

  • Dive Theory Guide
    DIVE THEORY STUDY GUIDE by Rod Abbotson CD69259 © 2010 Dive Aqaba Guidelines for studying: Study each area in order as the theory from one subject is used to build upon the theory in the next subject. When you have completed a subject, take tests and exams in that subject to make sure you understand everything before moving on. If you try to jump around or don’t completely understand something; this can lead to gaps in your knowledge. You need to apply the knowledge in earlier sections to understand the concepts in later sections... If you study this way you will retain all of the information and you will have no problems with any PADI dive theory exams you may take in the future. Before completing the section on decompression theory and the RDP make sure you are thoroughly familiar with the RDP, both Wheel and table versions. Use the appropriate instructions for use guides which come with the product. Contents Section One PHYSICS ………………………………………………page 2 Section Two PHYSIOLOGY………………………………………….page 11 Section Three DECOMPRESSION THEORY & THE RDP….……..page 21 Section Four EQUIPMENT……………………………………………page 27 Section Five SKILLS & ENVIRONMENT…………………………...page 36 PHYSICS SECTION ONE Light: The speed of light changes as it passes through different things such as air, glass and water. This affects the way we see things underwater with a diving mask. As the light passes through the glass of the mask and the air space, the difference in speed causes the light rays to bend; this is called refraction. To the diver wearing a normal diving mask objects appear to be larger and closer than they actually are.

  • Final EIS Responses to Comments 1-40
    Table 1-2. Responses to Comments Comment Response Comment/Response Number Number 1.1 The lakes in question are in our main camp area. We have operated in this area for thirty years and probably know more about the fish in these lakes than anyone associated with this ridiculous plan. These lakes have provided unequalled fishing to our guests and all others that have fished them. 1.1 This project is designed to preserve this stronghold for native westslope cutthroat trout. This project proposes to re-establish WCT populations in all treated lakes, which will maintain angling opportunities. 1.2 We feel that his plan goes against all that is held sacred in a wilderness area. … We believe the "Wilderness Act" should be respected and these areas should not be tampered with. 1.2 Native westslope cutthroat trout are considered a wilderness value. This project is designed to maintain and conserve that value. 1.3 Why should anyone be allowed to tamper with these healthy fish in order to obtain a genetically pure strain of fish? 1.3 It is the responsibility of MFWP to ensure that this species is conserved and maintained so the public of Montana can continue to use and enjoy it. The species has been at risk of hybridization for some time. MFWP has taken measures to reduce and eliminate the threats (see Section 1.2 of the DEIS). The species has been proposed for ESA listing (see Section 1.4.1 and Appendix B of the DEIS). MFWP is mandated to keep this from happening so the public does not lose the opportunity to use and enjoy WCT (see page 1-8 of the DEIS).

  • Supervised Dive
    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.
