Shark Deterrents
Many divers seek interactions with sharks, but others actively seek to avoid them. As long as sharks are in the water, people will look for ways to reduce the lethality of a shark bite or decrease encounters altogether.
Invisible Crystals
Polymorphic crystallization inside hoses has recently emerged as a hazard divers should be aware of. Be sure to replace old hoses, limit hoses’ exposure to high temperatures, and follow manufacturers’ maintenance recommendations.
Understanding Oxygen Kit Components
Oxygen is the standard of care for first aid in dive injuries. You do not need to determine if the injured person is experiencing decompression sickness (DCS), arterial gas embolism […]
Are 6351-T6 Alloy Scuba Cylinders Safe to Use?
After the rupturing of two alloy scuba cylinders, many wonder if they are safe to use? While cracking was documented in these cylinders, a major issue with their use is lack of consistent training and regulation in the testers, inspectors and fill-station operators.
Used Rebreather Scrubber Disposal
Sorb, or scrubber, plays a critical role in rebreather diving, as it is responsible for removing carbon dioxide (CO2) from the diver’s breathing gas. Small granules or pellets absorb exhaled […]
Keamanan Silinder
Pengguna harus mengoperasikan silinder dalam parameter desain, seperti mengisi hanya pada tekanan servis terukur dan memiliki silinder yang diperiksa oleh teknisi yang terlatih dan berkualifikasi secara formal dan memenuhi syarat oleh fasilitas pengujian yang memiliki reputasi baik dan diakui. Lebih dari 90 persen kerusakan terjadi selama pengisian, sehingga pemeriksaan yang rajin selama proses ini sangat penting. Silinder harus beroperasi dengan aman selama masa pakai jika pengguna mematuhi desain dan kondisi pengoperasian.
Minimizing Lift Bag Risks
Divers generally use lift bags to raise submerged objects to the surface. The lift bag is filled with gas until the object exhibits neutral buoyancy so divers can bring it to the surface with minimal exertion.
Pelindung Tangan
Sarung tangan adalah salah satu peralatan menyelam yang paling sering diabaikan dan bersifat individual. Saat memilih sarung tangan, pertimbangkan jenis penyelaman yang Anda rencanakan dan apa yang Anda harapkan dari pelindung tangan Anda. Saat memilih sarung tangan, pertimbangkan faktor-faktor berikut: perlindungan termal, kesesuaian, ketangkasan, perlindungan dari bahaya, ketahanan terhadap benturan, dan bahan.
Diver Recall Systems
Whether for recreation, research, or commercial work, diving puts humans in a fundamentally hazardous environment. Visibility, pressure effects, and sound distortion limit communication between divers and surface teams, making real-time […]
