  • Undercurrent Book Reviews
    Book Review Roundup from THERE WAS A TIME when great underwater photographers, the likes of Chris Newbert, David Doubilet, Jeffrey Rotmann, Roger Steene and Norbert Wu, pub- lished coffee table tomes of their wonderful photographs, but nowadays, few people buy this type of book. When National Geographic sheds its full-time pho- tographic staff, it indicates what dire straits the publishing business might be in. The digital revolution has changed underwater photography, and now everyone wants to take their own pictures and share them on-line. It has become remark- ably easy. In the wake of this digital revolution, a plethora of underwater pho- tography gurus has sprung up to reveal the differences between photographing through water rather than air, and the solutions to that. Underwater Some of these gurus are self-styled and not necessarily very good, but marine biol- ogist, underwater photographer Alex Mustard is the modern master of what he Photography does, and willingly reveals to others, by way of escorted photo-safaris, how he does it. Instead of producing just a coffee table book of pictures, he is more didactic Master Class in his approach, disguising his superb photos in this book as demonstrations of by Alex how to do it, or as inspiration to others to have a go themselves. It’s a master class and it’s stuffed with information.

  • Ten Foot Stop Newsletter, April 30, 2004
    Home > Here Diving Medicine Search this site powered by FreeFind Ten Foot Stop Newsletter April 30, 2004 Newsletter -Note from scubadoc- Expired Air Resuscitation Dr. Partick Farrell, a physician in the UK, has written commenting about expired air resuscitation [EAR] and it’s effectiveness in the in water rescue of a diver. "Have you folk ever discussed expired air resuscitation in water? As I understand it adults rarely have respiratory arrests but normally VF [ventricular fibrillation] or emd [electromechanical dissociation] so expired air resuscitation is a waste of time & may put the rescuer at risk due to the effort of towing & trying to do EAR. Yet all the training organisations teach it. Worth a thread?" We sent this query to several of our consultants with some interesting comments. Dr. Edmond Kay, Diving Medical Officer, University of Washington and Medical Director, Divers Institute of Technology (DIT - Seattle).has this to say: “This is a very timely question as we at the University of Washington have recently had just such an in-water incident. On a 60 ft dive (this week), a relatively new diver had trouble with her regulator and lost consciousness while trying to initiate buddy-breathing. Her partner dropped her weights and made an emergency assent. Upon reaching the surface she was apneic and cyanotic. Rescue breathing was initiated and by the time they got back to the boat she was incoherent and coughing, but alive and breathing on her own. Another resuscitation I personally participated in happened off a boat in California. A diver had gone down the anchor line to free up a snag when his regulator got away from him.
