On the 3rd of October the AGM was followed by fantastic presentations covering an array of interesting topics. Presentation topics ranged from expeditions to find historic wreckage at Campbell Island, WWII kamikaze attacks on pacific shipping, diving to extreme depths on the SS Ventnor, exploring Solomon Island wrecks, the Battle of the River Plate, the President Coolidge salvage and the interesting life and times of a commercial diver. The presentations were outstanding and the day finished up with a fantastic meal and social gathering at the newly built RSA. This event is certainly one worth attending next year!

While researching the trip, Jo was recommended a side trip to the upper Amazon, so that was added to the itinerary, which had three distinct phases. Arriving a day late after an epic journey to the capital city Quito, it was good to have a few days to take in the sites and get acclimatised. At 2700m, Quito is the second highest capital city in the world, and has plenty to see and do. Attractions include the official (but incorrectly sited) “Centre of the Earth”, and the more fun and correctly located non-official equator site just down the road. Taxis are cheap, and are an entertainment in themselves, but not for nervous passengers! Quito from “up the hill” at 4000m Jo at the centre of things (as usual) Local delicacies. KFC = Krispy Fried Cuy? (Guinea Pig) Half a day in a mini bus got us from Quito through the Andes and down to Shell, a small town established by the oil company of the same name. Unfortunately the airport was closed due to low cloud and rain, so our flight into the Amazon was postponed until the following morning. Our pilot didn’t inspire a lot of confidence with a guidance system consisting of a tablet computer stuck to the steering wheel with Velcro, and a very seriously recited a prayer before take-off. Nonetheless he got us there in one piece and quickly flew away again. “There” was the settlement of the Huaorani tribe, whose first contact with the civilised world was in the mid 1950’s and didn’t end well for the missionaries. Our four days in the jungle were an excellent experience, and one we’d recommend to anyone. Like much of the upper Amazon, Huaorani land is under pressure from oil exploitation, and the tribe have decided that their best hope of protection is through fostering eco-tourism. It certainly worked in our case, as the Huaorani were excellent hosts, and we left strongly committed to the need to preserve this environment. On leaving the jungle we passed through areas where the oil companies are active, and it’s a very disturbing sight. Google maps say we’re ….here! A long way from anywhere Local transport Phase three of the adventure started with a flight from Quito to San Cristobal in the Galapagos via Guayaquil. Without much further ado, our dive party was assembled and we were transported to the 3 Humboldt Explorer by water taxi. A shake-down dive was promptly held to check gear and weights, and then we were off. It didn’t take long to realise that this was going to be far from a relaxing cruise! Of our 10 nights at sea, 6 were spent travelling between locations, and the combination of very loud engine noise and heavy seas made sleeping a challenge. Four dives were scheduled for most days, starting with a wake-up at 6am for a dive at 6:30. As some dives were repeats of the same sites we established that 2 or 3 dives per day was plenty, as the combination of depth and exertion where such that it became a chore to do any more. This was especially true around Darwin and Wolf Islands where we spent 6 days, as most dives there consisted of negative buoyancy entries, a rapid and vigorous swim down to 25-30m where we’d find rocks to cling to, so we could watch the parade of Hammerhead, Silky and Galapagos sharks glide past in the strong currents. It was hard work, but it was worth it. As well as the sharks, we were treated to countless turtles, eagle rays, many varieties of fish, and even a whale shark that was most cooperative in swimming around and around us one day at the end of a dive. The Humboldt Explorer Sharks aplenty Friendly whale shark Turtles Marine Iguana Darwin’s Arch For anyone interested in doing this trip, we would thoroughly recommend organising it through http://www.scubascuba.com/worldwide/galapagos. They did an excellent job of arranging pretty much everything including airport pickups and the Huaorani Eco-Tour, and were fantastic to deal with. Although a UK company, one of the directors has “retired” to NZ, and took a personal interest in making sure we were well looked after. For the diving, we’d recommend getting your nitrox ticket, as much of the diving was for long periods at 25-30m that isn’t possible on normal air. Those without nitrox had much shorter bottom times, and missed the whale shark because they’d already surfaced when it arrived. In our experience, diving is also less fatiguing when using enriched air. Lastly, take plenty of sea sick pills! Pretty much everyone on our trip suffered to some degree, including a couple of 15 year Dive Masters from the company’s sister ship in the Maldives who were holidaying with us! Oh, and ear plugs, as the ships engines run 24x7, and you may be unfortunate enough to get a cabin over the engine room. 4 November Recipe Smoked Fish Cakes Ingredients 2 medium (400g) Potatoes, peeled 400g flaked Smoked Fish 1/2 cup chopped Coriander 4 Spring Onions, chopped 1 Tbsp finely grated fresh Ginger 1 large Red Chilli, finely chopped 1 tsp finely grated Lemon zest 1 Egg, lightly beaten freshly ground Black Pepper 2 Tbsp Oil Sweet Chilli Sauce to serve Method Place the potatoes in a saucepan of water, bring to the boil and simmer for 8 minutes until the potatoes are half cooked. Drain, cool slightly and grate. Place the grated potato, smoked fish, coriander, spring onions, ginger, chilli, lemon zest, egg and black pepper into a bowl. Mix well and form the mixture into 12 fish cakes. Heat the oil in a frying pan. Cook the fish cakes over medium heat for 5 minutes on each side or until they are golden brown and cooked through. Drain on absorbent paper towels and serve with sweet chilli sauce. 5 Safety section The story below is by Eric Douglas, from scubadiving.com, outlining ear problems suffered by a relatively experienced diver. Looking after your ear drums By Eric Douglas Diane was struggling. She just couldn’t shake the nagging feeling in her ear. It hurt, but no matter how hard she tried, she couldn’t clear it. Still, she really wanted to see the helicopter at the bottom of the quarry. It had just been placed, and she wanted to be among the first to have her photograph taken at the controls. She inverted to a head-down position and began swimming to get there quickly. The pain grew worse. And then it was gone. She stopped for a moment and shook her head. Everything seemed to have returned to normal. She felt relieved, physically and personally. Everything went great for the rest of the dive. THE DIVER Diane was a moderately experienced diver. She dived whenever she could get in the water, five or six times a year.

  • PARTICIPANT INFORMATION SHEET DAN Rebreather Study 2020 - Caustic Cocktail IRB #025-20-20 (Expiry: 2021-08-05)
    PARTICIPANT INFORMATION SHEET DAN Rebreather Study 2020 - Caustic Cocktail IRB #025-20-20 (expiry: 2021-08-05) CONCISE SUMMARY This survey aims to collect data from rebreather divers regarding their experiences with caustic cocktail(s) while diving. You qualify for participation in this study if you are a certified rebreather diver and you have experienced a caustic cocktail or dived with someone who experienced a caustic cocktail. There are no individual benefits and no currently foreseeable risks to you in participating in this study. If you are interested in learning more about the study, please continue reading and review the following pages carefully before agreeing to participate. INTRODUCTION You are invited to complete a short survey about rebreather diving. The study is entirely sponsored by DAN. PURPOSE OF THE STUDY The purpose of this study is to collect information from adult rebreather divers and their experiences with a “Caustic Cocktail”. BACKGROUND When water mixes with the carbon-dioxide absorbent in rebreathers, e.g. due to a leak in the unit, a solution of caustic soda is produced. When a diver ingests this poisonous mixture, known as a “Caustic Cocktail”, it is important to provide appropriate first aid. It is uncertain how common suffering a caustic cocktail is among certified rebreather divers, or what immediate first-aid treatments are being employed. This survey will gather information on rebreather divers and their diving experience, including whether they have suffered a caustic cocktail event and how it was treated. HOW THE STUDY WORKS Certified rebreather divers aged 18 years or older at the time of completing the survey are invited to participate.
