A diver didn’t heed the divemaster’s warning and was lost at sea. Deploying his large surface marker buoy helped with his rescue. DAN recommends that divers always listen to the dive briefing and follow all directions and always carry an SMB and reel. If your breathing-gas supply is critically low, get to the surface at a safe ascent rate, and then monitor for signs of decompression illness. It is better to deal with DCI on the surface than to run out of breathing gas at depth.
Literasi laut penting bagi masyarakat untuk membuat keputusan yang tepat tentang upaya restorasi laut dan untuk meningkatkan tanggung jawab individu dalam upaya tersebut. Generasi muda sangat penting untuk mengembangkan masyarakat yang melek laut, tetapi pendidikan ilmu kelautan yang memadai merupakan tantangan bagi sekolah-sekolah yang kurang terlayani dan kekurangan dana. Kesempatan pendidikan informal yang dijalankan oleh Black Girls Dive Foundation (BGDF) mengisi kesenjangan pengetahuan dan merupakan sumber daya bagi siswa yang berwawasan lingkungan.
Pada Musim Gugur 2013, istri saya, Liv, dan saya mengawasi 16 penyelam baru yang mengalami jarak pandang rendah untuk pertama kalinya. Tempat pelatihan kami memiliki kedalaman maksimum [...]
Kisah pencarian kapal selam Jepang I-52 adalah salah satu dari dua penemuan yang dipisahkan oleh waktu dan tujuan. Dalam kegelapan malam di Samudra Atlantik pada tahun 1944, kapal anti-kapal selam Angkatan Laut AS mencari pertemuan rahasia antara kru angkatan laut Jerman dan Jepang. Beroperasi berdasarkan informasi intelijen yang diperoleh, mereka berusaha mengejutkan dan menenggelamkan kedua kapal selam tersebut. Setengah abad kemudian, I-52 masih belum ditemukan di dasar laut, tetapi kali ini pencarian dilakukan dalam kegelapan lautan dalam untuk mengejar kemungkinan, bukan kehancuran.
At the Maritime Aquarium in Norwalk, Connecticut, nudibranchs have become storytellers for an issue facing our oceans that is difficult to understand yet imperative to know about: global climate change. The aquarium has taken a unique approach to educate the public on this global threat. Their new exhibit, A Slug’s Life: Facing the Climate Endgame, showcases the adored mollusk and runs through Sept. 6, 2021. The exhibit’s specific intent is to help guests understand the warnings that changing slug populations provide about the health of their habitats.
Michael Aw’s early life while growing up in Singapore — he didn’t see the ocean until age 17 — gave few clues that he would one day become one of the most influential print journalists in destination diving and ocean conservation. The author of or major contributor to 43 books, Aw created Ocean Geographic magazine in 2007 and also leads expeditions, often to exotic regions. He now hopes to raise awareness of the folly of shark-finning and the overexploitation of our marine resources.

Our checkout dive was easy, with a maximum depth of 75 feet for 50 minutes. The current was slight, and the visibility was spectacular — an ideal first dive. It closed with a nice, slow ascent and a three-minute safety stop. When we returned to the boat, I felt a sudden tingling in my right foot followed by a dull ache in my knee. I assumed the worst, thinking I had decompression sickness (DCS). When I reviewed the dive in my mind, however, that seemed impossible.
Dive legend Tec Clark has built a memorable career and legacy around training excellent divers. He describes his underwater experiences as “absolutely worshipful” and “otherworldly.” It’s the place where he feels closer to God than anywhere else on Earth. Helping others safely and professionally experience this same life-changing magic is his focus. Clark summed up the philosophy behind all his advice to new dive professionals: “Great training is the key to great diving. Don’t cut corners. Offer excellent training. Go beyond the standard.”
