Whether you’re a good swimmer looking for ultimate flexibility, a struggling swimmer who needs all the buoyancy they can get, or a weekend warrior just starting out, Orca has you covered. 16 17 From the beginning of the Orca brand, our biggest focus has been on how we can help athletes THE REASON BEHIND swim faster when they’re in our wetsuits. We know that not all swimmers are alike, so within our wetsuit range we offer wetsuits to suit every swim style and budget so that every athlete’s OUR WETSUITS individual needs can be met. In over twenty years of studying swimmers, we’ve narrowed these main requirements down to the following: FLEXIBILITY A wetsuit for every swim style Those who are streamlined naturally strong swimmers and have good body position and technique are looking for the most flexible suit around to compliment this and make them even faster. TOTAL SOLUTION + There are those middle of the road swimmers who don’t have a particularly bad technique but would still benefit greatly rom some extra buoyancy. At the same time they want that feeling of freedom and flexibility with every stroke. BUOYANCY Not everyone who swims has the natural buoyancy in their body that avoids needing to kick a lot to keep their legs from dropping and creating drag. Male and female buoyancy needs also differ, PREDATOR with women naturally carrying more buoyancy in their hips, so have different buoyancy requirements in a wetsuit to men. ALPHA 3.8 RANGE SONAR EQUIP S6 — FLEXIBILITY TOTAL SOLUTION BUOYANCY 18 19 18 19 At Orca we’re always innovating, working out how we can make our suits faster, stretchier, 0.88FREE more comfortable for the user. Our latest technology, 0.88Free is an Orca exclusive developed specifically for the arms and shoulder panels of our high end wetsuits the Predator and the TECHNOLOGY Alpha – where flexibility is needed the most. This 0.88Free technology features a three-layer construction with a patented heat reflective titanium coating that offers high thermal insulation properties comparative to it’s 0.88mm thickness. Not only is this flexible revolutionarily thin material insulating, it also offers buoyancy and an extremely low co-efficient through the water – making you super fast! 0.88Free is a technological first for the triathlon industry and really does offer a true feeling of pure freedom in a wetsuit like never felt before.

  • Winds, Waves, and Bubbles at the Air-Sea Boundary
    JEFFREY L. HANSON WINDS, WAVES, AND BUBBLES AT THE AIR-SEA BOUNDARY Subsurface bubbles are now recognized as a dominant acoustic scattering and reverberation mechanism in the upper ocean. A better understanding of the complex mechanisms responsible for subsurface bubbles should lead to an improved prediction capability for underwater sonar. The Applied Physics Laboratory recently conducted a unique experiment to investigate which air-sea descriptors are most important for subsurface bubbles and acoustic scatter. Initial analyses indicate that wind-history variables provide better predictors of subsurface bubble-cloud development than do wave-breaking estimates. The results suggest that a close coupling exists between the wind field and the upper-ocean mixing processes, such as Langmuir circulation, that distribute and organize the bubble populations. INTRODUCTION A multiyear series of experiments, conducted under the that, in the Gulf of Alaska wintertime environment, the auspices of the Navy-sponsored acoustic program, Crit­ amount of wave-breaking activity may not be an ideal ical Sea Test (CST), I has been under way since 1986 with indicator of deep bubble-cloud formation.

  • Hypothermia (Pg 129-130)
    Excerpts from: Whitewater Rescue Manual By Charles Walbridge & Wayne A. Sundmacher Sr. Charlie Walbridge is one of the first seven individuals inducted into the International Whitewater Hall of Fame. He is being recognized for his many contributions to the whitewater safety and rescue field. Charlie has conducted numerous swiftwater rescue clinics for NRS associates and we're proud to be associated with him! The International Whitewater Hall of Fame and Museum is located at the Adventure Sports Center International, McHenry, Maryland Cold-Water Protection (Pg 24-25) Water draws heat from the body 25 times faster than air. Like windchill, the effects of cold water increase when the current is fast. Sudden immersion in snowmelt or spring runoff is extremely debilitating, causing a substantial loss of strength, coordination, and judgment rather quickly. All cold-weather paddlers should select the gear needed for the insulation required to stay warm. Drysuits and wetsuits both work effectively in cold water. In a wetsuit, air is trapped inside the neoprene material, and the suit fits snugly enough to keep most cold water out. What little water gets inside is quickly warmed by the user's body heat. Drysuits create an actual barrier between the environment and the paddler, eliminating that initial “cold-water shock.” Paddling drysuits are made of a waterproof material with latex seals at the neck, wrists, and ankles. The paddler regulates the inside temperature by adding or removing layers of insulation, such as pile or polypropylene. In milder weather, a water-proof shell top or paddle jacket can be combined with pile clothing or a wetsuit for comfort.

  • Sonar for Environmental Monitoring of Marine Renewable Energy Technologies
    Sonar for environmental monitoring of marine renewable energy technologies FRANCISCO GEMO ALBINO FRANCISCO UURIE 350-16L ISSN 0349-8352 Division of Electricity Department of Engineering Sciences Licentiate Thesis Uppsala, 2016 Abstract Human exploration of the world oceans is ever increasing as conventional in- dustries grow and new industries emerge. A new emerging and fast-growing industry is the marine renewable energy. The last decades have been charac- terized by an accentuated development rate of technologies that can convert the energy contained in stream flows, waves, wind and tides. This growth ben- efits from the fact that society has become notably aware of the well-being of the environment we all live in. This brings a human desire to implement tech- nologies which cope better with the natural environment. Yet, this environ- mental awareness may also pose difficulties in approving new renewable en- ergy projects such as offshore wind, wave and tidal energy farms. Lessons that have been learned is that lack of consistent environmental data can become an impasse when consenting permits for testing and deployments marine renew- able energy technologies. An example is the European Union in which a ma- jority of the member states requires rigorous environmental monitoring pro- grams to be in place when marine renewable energy technologies are commis- sioned and decommissioned. To satisfy such high demands and to simultane- ously boost the marine renewable sector, long-term environmental monitoring framework that gathers multi-variable data are needed to keep providing data to technology developers, operators as well as to the general public. Technol- ogies based on active acoustics might be the most advanced tools to monitor the subsea environment around marine manmade structures especially in murky and deep waters where divining and conventional technologies are both costly and risky.

  • BEE 453 Chris Chung, Ju Sok Shim May 1St, 2007 Executive Summary
    The Effect of the Diving/Wet Suit on the Survival Time in Cold Water Immersion BEE 453 Chris Chung, Ju Sok Shim May 1st, 2007 Executive Summary In this study, we will compare the effect of normal clothes (assumed as bare skin) with effect of wetsuit in maintaining the core body temperature, produced by metabolic heat generations and blood flow heat generation, using COMSOL. A passenger is immersed in cold water after Titanic has shipwrecked, and the individual is waiting for rescue to come in time before his metabolic functions stop and die. We will compare two cases: with and without wetsuit on the passenger. Skin temperature or wetsuit temperature is assumed to be equal to cold water temperature, which is at 10 degrees Celsius, and the distribution of temperature throughout the body will be graphically shown as the time of body immersion in water increases. It is shown from the results that wetsuit can help maintain the normal core body temperature much longer than normal clothes/bare skin can in cold water immersion. Introduction and Design Objective Background and importance of problem: Hypothermia is the decrease in body temperature due to exposure to colder temperatures, losing bodily heat to the surrounding environment. The first stage of hypothermia occurs when body temperature decreases by one to two degrees Celsius from normal body temperature (37 degrees Celsius). In this stage, shivering and numbness in hands occurs. When hypothermia is continued, the body enters the second stage of hypothermia. Body temperature is dropped by two to four degree Celsius, and bodily movements become uncoordinated.
