  • Analysis of Recreational Closed-Circuit Rebreather Deaths 1998–2010 Andrew W Fock Abstract (Fock AW
    78 Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine Volume 43 No. 2 June 2013 Analysis of recreational closed-circuit rebreather deaths 1998–2010 Andrew W Fock Abstract (Fock AW. Analysis of recreational closed-circuit rebreather deaths 1998–2010. Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine. 2013 June;43(2):78-85.) Introduction: Since the introduction of recreational closed-circuit rebreathers (CCRs) in 1998, there have been many recorded deaths. Rebreather deaths have been quoted to be as high as 1 in 100 users. Methods: Rebreather fatalities between 1998 and 2010 were extracted from the Deeplife rebreather mortality database, and inaccuracies were corrected where known. Rebreather absolute numbers were derived from industry discussions and training agency statistics. Relative numbers and brands were extracted from the Rebreather World website database and a Dutch rebreather survey. Mortality was compared with data from other databases. A fault-tree analysis of rebreathers was compared to that of open-circuit scuba of various configurations. Finally, a risk analysis was applied to the mortality database. Results: The 181 recorded recreational rebreather deaths occurred at about 10 times the rate of deaths amongst open-circuit recreational scuba divers. No particular brand or type of rebreather was over-represented. Closed-circuit rebreathers have a 25-fold increased risk of component failure compared to a manifolded twin-cylinder open-circuit system. This risk can be offset by carrying a redundant ‘bailout’ system. Two-thirds of fatal dives were associated with a high-risk dive or high-risk behaviour. There are multiple points in the human-machine interface (HMI) during the use of rebreathers that can result in errors that may lead to a fatality.

I’m originally from the Netherlands and have now been living in Thailand for almost a decade. In 2003, I decided to take a diving course to experience the hype that everyone was talking about. It only took me 20 minutes on my first Open Water dive to realize that you can have a fantastic career in this amazing underwater realm. From that moment on, I actively pursued my career in diving. I hold a tremendous passion towards diving which I have been able to share with others during my teaching and turning thousands of students into divers. It didn’t take long to decide to advance in my career and I continued my education towards Course Director and Specialty Instructor Trainer. Within the first year I achieved Platinum Status from PADI and kept that until this day.

  • 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.

  • Commercial Diving Physical Examination
    Commercial Diving Physical Examination To the Applicant / Student: Attached are the forms and instructions for a commercial diving physical examination. One of the most important requirements for acceptance as a student in the Professional Certificate in Marine Technology at National University and to become a commercial diver is a thorough physical examination in accordance with Association of Diving Contractors International standards. As a commercial diver, it is a personal responsibility to always have a current physical exam. A current physical exam must have been completed within the last year and there must be no physical maladies which would preclude you from diving or making hyperbaric exposures. Although the commercial diving physical examination can be done by any licensed physician; it is always best to have the physical examination done by a physician who is trained in diving medicine or hyperbaric medicine. Attached is a list of physicians in Los Angeles and San Diego who are approved to conduct diving examinations. You must have the physical examination completed including the laboratory testing (which can take several weeks) prior to the beginning of the program. The cost of the examination can vary and supporting laboratory fees can range from $275 to $600 dollars or more depending on if the physician finds the need to run additional tests. You are personally required to provide the following forms completed and signed by the doctor: The attached National University Polytechnic Institute letter stating that you have passed the physical examination and are cleared for work as a diver and for hyperbaric exposures. The attached ADCI form (Medical History and Physical Examination) completed and signed by yourself and the physician.

  • How to Choose the Best Drysuit?
    HOW TO CHOOSE THE BEST DRYSUIT? 1. How to choose the best drysuit? If you care about comfort while diving, you want to dive longer and deeper, primarily derive from unlimited pleasure of being under water – bet on the drysuit. Drysuits have become increasingly popular among divers. Technical divers that often do wreck or technical diving, long and in colder waters know this perfectly well. Those who dive less often, they prefer the shorter diving in warmer waters are also increasingly inclined to opt for drysuits. Why? Because they give amazing comfort under water - we are dry, warm and comfortable. There are more benefits of their use. Drysuit insulates virtually 100% the diver’s body from the water. Thermal properties of the suit depend on the fabric which it is made of and warmer being used. It is used for all types of dives, especially in colder waters and during deep dives. It is also excellent in the course of diving, when an air temperature and water is very low, eg. Ice Diving. You could say that if we have a drysuit, diving season never ends. 2. 1. Benefits of drysuit ownership Comfort Drysuits give divers a great thermal comfort - both during long dives and after its completion. The diver is completely isolated from direct contact with water, so the body does not cool down so quickly. Protection and durability Drysuit provides not only comfort but also safety. Above all it is the first and most important protection against unfavorable underwater environment both in terms of thermics as in the mechanical influence.
