Setelah Kecelakaan
Being involved in a traumatic event can take a toll on everyone: dive professionals or rescue divers who perform a rescue, lay providers who help with CPR and first aid, and dive buddies or bystanders.

Kesadaran Keselamatan Penyelaman Bebas
Minat terhadap penyelaman dengan menahan napas, yang juga dikenal sebagai penyelaman bebas, telah berkembang pesat selama dekade terakhir. Sebagian besar orang yang menyukai olahraga air pernah menahan napas di bawah air pada suatu saat, tetapi sebagian besar melakukannya tanpa pelatihan formal atau kesadaran akan bahaya yang diketahui meskipun informasi tentang penyelamatan nyawa ini sudah tersedia.
Hindari Menyelam dengan Penyumbat Telinga
TOPIK YANG SERING TERJADI saat membahas keselamatan menyelam adalah penggunaan penyumbat telinga. Apakah mereka aman digunakan saat menyelam? Apakah DAN memiliki rekomendasi?
Anak-anak dan Menyelam
ANAK di bawah umur telah menyelam selama puluhan tahun, tetapi kejadian cedera akibat menyelam di antara mereka masih belum banyak diteliti.
Hose Failure
Some first-stage scuba regulators have a shared low-pressure hub. Purging the second-stage regulator to release pressure from all hoses before disassembling gear causes gas in the other hoses to move backward toward the first stage. The gas could carry debris from the other low-pressure hoses and possibly through the first-stage regulator into the hose being used to vent the system. Performing regular maintenance, checking your hoses and noting any difficulty in breathing or inflation during your predive check should prevent hose degeneration from causing an underwater incident.
Pentingnya Pemeriksaan Keselamatan Prediktif
Certified divers learned to do predive safety checks during training, but do they perform one every time they dive? It is one of the easiest ways to prevent oversights, gear malfunctions and forgotten pieces of equipment. But predive safety checks often aren’t as thorough as they should be. Complacency and skipping your predive safety check or buddy check are entirely preventable factors in dive accidents. Complete all your checks before every dive.
