  • 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.

  • Cochran Undersea Technology
    Cochran Undersea Technology www.DiveCochran.com Technical Publication ©2013 7Apr13 Task Loading While scuba diving, the diver wants to focus on his Mission whether it be cruising a reef, photographing fish, cave diving, disarming a mine, or just diving with a buddy for the fun of it. The diver doesn’t need or want to be distracted or concerned by equipment tasks that could be easily avoided. Cochran dive computers have the lowest task loading of any unit on the market today. This is one reason why Cochran is the only dive computer used by NATO, the US Navy, and other international militaries. Cochran’s goal is to allow Cochran dive computer owners to maximize their diving experience. Toward this goal, Cochran has addressed the following issues: No Buttons – no Worries Regardless of how well a product is designed, having pushbuttons is always less reliable than not having pushbuttons. Pushbuttons can be troublesome when wearing gloves. Trying to press a pushbutton or combination of pushbuttons while carrying a camera and taking a picture is at best, challenging. Cochran dive computers are fully automatic and have no pushbuttons. If desired to change any settings in a Cochran dive computer while on the surface, the diver uses the three permanent stainless contacts on the side or bottom of the unit. Batteries Cochran dive computers have the longest battery life. By checking for battery warnings just before a dive, the diver can be assured that when he starts a dive there is sufficient battery power to complete it. Constantly checking the battery while in a dive is not necessary with a Cochran dive computer.

  • 2011 NOAA Diving Program Annual Report
    NOAA Diving Program 2011 Annual Report 31 December 2011 NOAA Diving Center 7600 Sand Point Way NE Seattle, WA 98115 NOAA Diving Program - Annual Report 2011 Summary For over 40 years, NOAA divers have safely, efficiently, and cost-effectively collected data and performed tasks underwater in support of NOAA goals and objectives. Fiscal year 2011 was no exception. FY11 continued to be a year of change and transition for the NOAA Diving Program (NDP) with the implementation of new standards, policies and procedures designed to increase safety and ensure compliance with federal regulations. Nine new policies were implemented, a new Working Diving standards and safety manual was adopted, and a new Diving Unit Safety Assessment (DUSA) program was initiated. This year, when compared to FY 2010, the Program experienced a 09% (44) decrease in the number of divers, a 01% (130) decrease in the number of dives performed, and a 05% (471) decrease in the total hours of bottom time logged by NOAA divers. These data do not include dives conducted by reciprocity partners which would have significantly impacted the totals in each category. Of the total number of dives recorded (13,859), 71% (9,845) were classified as ‘scientific,’ 14% (1,971) were ‘working,’ and 26% (3,550) were ‘training or proficiency’ (see Chart 1). These data represent almost no change in the number of scientific dives, a 12% decrease in working dives compared to FY10, and a 09% decrease in training and proficiency dives. Should the proposed alternate diving standards, currently under review by OSHA, be approved, the Program may see an increase in the number of working dives performed each year due to the lessening of restrictions on Nitrox breathing mixtures and the ability to conduct working dives without a chamber on site.

  • 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.
