Aquarius Good science, conscientious administration, and an unblemished safety As in conventional scuba diving, many problems are prevented by adequate planning. http://www.uncw.edu/aquarius/about/usermanual.htm
Extractions: Welcome to the AQUARIUS underwater habitat. Here is a document that all aquanauts must read. It is the basic manual for scientists who use the facility. We provide it here as a reference for others to look at, but in no way is it to be used by any facility as the basis for training material. It is for reference only. Aquarius User Manual *Note : Please see the article The Aquarius Underwater Laboratory: America's "Inner Space Station" for general information about the Aquarius program. You are about to embark on a unique journey. A research proposal of high scientific merit and relevance was your ticket. Your Aquarius experience will include adventure - in the classic expedition mode. You will experience the ocean as few people ever have. Your daily work routine will include underwater excursions measured in hours, instead of minutes. Inside Aquarius you will live in close but comfortable quarters, and you will have work space and electronic capabilities similar to any university lab bench. Your home for ten days is part of the reef itself, with substantial growth on its outer skin and incredible numbers of fishes that hover around all sides. After ten days underwater your return to the surface will provide contrast and perspective that may forever change your view of the ocean and our planet.

Section Three Looking Ahead There was a time in the history of scientific scuba diving when it was Vessel operators rarely know of the existence of research diving safety programs http://www.gso.uri.edu/unols/dive_safety/sec3.html
Extractions: Prepared by Lynne Carter Hanson Background/Summary There are many technologies coming into use by the scientific diving community that are beyond those traditionally used by scientific divers. Many of these new technologies are not new at all, but have a long history of industrial and other diver group usage (e.g., NOAA use of NITROX). When adopting additional technologies into the repertoire of scientific diving, a variety of mechanisms have been used which range from personal discussions to the convening of a workshop (e.g., American Academy of Underwater Sciences' Workshop on Diving Computers) and development of standards for and by the community. The four perspectives concerned with additional technologies and mechanisms to deal with them are: The ship operator with overall responsibility for over-the-side operations; The scientist with his or her need and desire to accomplish good science; The scientist's home institution with its concerns for safety, liability, and reputation; and The funding agency which is responsive to community demands and at the same time responsible for (among others): safety, finances, and precedent setting issues.

Extractions: ENTER MDT WEBSITE MARINE DIVING TECHNOLOGIES MARINE DIVING TECHNOLOGIES Our world increasingly relies upon the resources and knowledge gained from the ocean and marine environment, our last frontier. This reality requires the Marine Diving Technologies Program to continue to provide the highest quality divers and marine technicians worldwide. The program is open to all interested students for both diving and non-diving classes. The program serves the needs of entry-level students, employees in the workforce and students seeking personal enrichment. Students can attend part-time or full-time in both diving and non-diving marine-related classes. Graduates can pursue multiple marine career paths in marine and underwater technology, working above and below the water with many types of sophisticated marine data collection instruments, diving and life-supporting equipment. Santa Barbara City Colleges Marine Diving Technologies Program is recognized worldwide for its vocational excellence. It is the only community college degree program in the nation which is accredited by the Association of Commercial Diving Educators (ACDE), the International Diving Schools Association (IDSA) and the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI). The program trains and certifies for all levels of SCUBA diving. Santa Barbara City College pioneered formalized diver and technician education with the A.S. Degree curriculum in 1968. It was the recipient of the Exemplary Program Award in 1998 from the State of California Community Colleges Chancellors Office.

Extractions: Specialty Courses Rescue Hunting and Collecting Wreck Diver Underwater Photographer ... ight Diver This specialty is for anyone who wants to become a more responsible SAFE diver or intends on going to become a SCUBA diving leader, such as Divemaster, Assistant Instructor, Skin-diving Leader, or Instructor. The material covers the causes, effects, and treatments of diving related accidents, diving physiology, psychological aspects of diving, diving first aid, activation of EMS, and how to avoid and manage diving accidents. These topics will be presented in the classroom, in the pool, on a boat, and on the beach. Requires one pool session, one half day beach teach, three three hour classroom and boat lectures. This course trains divers in the knowledge and skills needed to manage risks and effectively handle limited in-water problems and diving emergencies. Included are: assists, transports, surface rescues and rescues from depth involving both boat and shore based skin and scuba divers. The course meets the prerequisite rescue training for Skin Diving Instructor, NAUI Assistant Instructor, Divemaster, and Instructor certifications. Note: Adult CPR training (approximately four hours) meets the requirement for Scuba Rescue Diver certification. However, additional CPR training that includes two person CPR and the use of rescue breathing barrier devices, e.g. pocket mask®, face shield, is required to meet the requirements for NAUI leadership certification.

It is also designed to allow students to easily ladder into a wide array of university degree (B.Sc.) programs. The program focuses on the management of terrestrial and aquatic natural resources found in the diverse ecosystems of the coast (i.e. the region spanning from the coastal mountains to the edge of the continental shelf ). Courses are geared to the study of these systems in a wholistic and integrated fashion. The program has both a strong academic foundation (19 university transfer courses) and a large component of hands-on practical courses with many field-based activities (20 courses). The CIRM program is geared to preparing students for successful employment in a demanding work force. Students will receive training and skills in:

Extractions: Open Water: The Movie Screened at the Sundance Film Festival, Open Water is a horror flick based on a true event that is every diver's worst nightmare: being left behind by the dive boat. This film, due to appear in theatres in June or July, could do to SCUBA diving what Jaws did to swimming. The movie's official website contains links to reviews and a chance to register to receive more information. Unfortunately, the "Trailers" link is not functioning, but this site has posted a trailer, in Quicktime format, that is just what it says it is: "scarier than Hell." As Rolling Stone writes, "Take Open Water , the scariest thing to come out of Sundance since 1999's The Blair Witch Project . Two married scuba divers, played by Blanchard Ryan and Daniel Travis, are abandoned in the brine off the coast of the Bahamas. As they shiver and watch the encircling sharks (played by the real things-the budget couldn't handle facsimiles), the diabolically clever writer-director Chris Kentis-shooting digitally-fries your nerves to a frazzle. And you thought Jaws was the last word on the subject. Think again." Return to Contents March
