Scuba

According to the sport governing body (AIDA) Austrian freediver Herbert Nitsch in Greece June 2007 reached 214 metres. Herbert Nitsch holds world records in 5 of the 8 free dive disciplines. See the related link below.

The Blue Hole was caused by the roof of an underwater cave collapsing. The water surrounding the opening is relatively shallow, but the floor of the cave is over 400 feet deep. A typical dive starts by descending along the wall of the collapse to a depth of about 130 feet where you can then swim around the stalactites hanging from what was the ceiling of a once dry cave. The stalactites are huge, but relatively unimpressive, and the depth means you spend your time plastered to the ceiling. Gray rock with little natural light and no coral (not enough water movement) makes this a been-there-done-that dive in my book.

Bottom time goes fast as does your air at this depth, so back up past more boring rock until you reach the sandy bowl of the crater's bottom to finish your safety stop. If you go to Belize to go diving, you almost have to dive the Blue Hole, but if you're like me, it won't be on your "must do again" list.

Technically Never. There is no requirement set from the agencies.

Sensibly speaking it depends on they type of diving you intend to undertake. Under most circumstances if someone is intending to dive without the presence of a dive master or instructor and has no dives in the last 14 months refresher dives are recommended.

The pressure of a fluid generally increases with depth. This therefore means that at a specific depth the pressure of a fluid is constant.

Of course it depends on the depth, but the maximum is 219 minutes at 10.5 meters.

Yes. Without a licence and training, filling a tank by yourself is dangerous.

Dissolved nitrogen and nitrogen narcosis

There is the extension phase where you reach out as far as possible. Then the catch phase is next its where you initially catch the water then it leads right into the actual pull phase where the water is thrust behind you. which leads directly into the recovery phase of the stroke where the arm moves back to catch more water and start the cycle again.

Diving accident victims are placed in a hyperbaric chamber primarily to treat decompression sickness, also known as "the bends." This condition occurs when nitrogen bubbles form in the body due to rapid ascent after deep diving. The hyperbaric chamber increases atmospheric pressure, allowing the nitrogen bubbles to dissolve back into the bloodstream and reducing the risk of tissue damage. Additionally, the chamber can enhance oxygen delivery to tissues, aiding in recovery from injuries related to diving.

you can poop your pants and eat it.

Key Largo, in the Florida Keys, is known as the Dive Capital of the World.

some wetsuits are white, quicksilver make one ,so do rip curl

Yes, it just has to be empty. I think shipping companies like you to remove the valve first. At that point, it's just another heavy piece of metal.

as soon as your doctor says its okay to (remember to ask him because if you still are recovering in any way it can add danger to scuba diving)

Jacques Yves Cousteau and Emile Gagnan worked together in 1942 and created the first SCUBA unit.

The dive computer essentially calculates in real time the nitrogen levels in your blood used on depth and time (and possible air mixture: ie: NITROX 32%) - they can (and do) much more than that including, timing your dive, ascent rates - some even calculate time left based on how much gas is left in your tank!!!

Technically speaking this has no relevance to the quality or action of diving. It is not a formal signal of any status nor skill level.

In the social context of the dive community it is taken as a sign that the Diver in question is less experienced as this action is one of the most common ways to loose a mask.

(www.scubaboard.com has many references to this practice)

No, it does not. When I was certified, I learned you can pee in your wetsuit, but it sounds kinda gross. This means that you can pee in your wetsuit without it causing any damage. I own a 3mm wetsuit and peeing in it hasn't caused any damage.

Absolutely - air compresses at depth, and because wetsuits are made up of air cells, they compress and lose buoyancy along with the air in the BCD, so divers have to add air while descending. Also, as you breathe air, the tank gets about 6 pounds lighter during the dive, so you need to release air. Finally, as air expands while ascending, you need to let air out.

well, as a pearl diver..i know how long it takes to be under water...before you actually get a pearl, so drowning is number 1..getting eaten by sharks,,number 2..why?.oysters can be found near reefs..means food..means sharks. that's all i can say

There are one-atmosphere suits that do this (the JIM suit was one), but they aren't in the realm of sport diving, either in training or price. If you can't possibly equalize your ears, you're not going to be able to dive. [[User:Cjonb|Cjonb]] 22:37, 2 Jun 2008 (UTC)
