Recreational scuba diving is defined as pleasure diving to a depth of up to 130 feet without decompression stops. Recreational scuba diving has become very popular in the past 20 years. There are almost 9 million certified divers in the United States alone. Several scuba certifying agencies offer training for divers, from beginners to experts. Three of these agencies are the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI), the National Association of Underwater Instructors (NAUI) and Scuba Schools International (SSI). Basic classes involve classroom instruction and training in a pool and in open water settings. The most popular courses last from 4 to 8 weeks. What are the common medical problems of scuba diving?

Nitrox Scuba Diving by Burks Oakley II oakley@uis.edu COM 333 , Spring 2000 Semester University of Illinois at Springfield 30 April 2000 Background Slightly more than one year ago, I became interested in scuba diving (actually, my younger daughter, Amy, became interested, and I did not want to miss out on all the fun). However, before I could scuba dive, I needed to receive certification from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) [ The PADI certification process includes six hours of classroom instruction, six lessons in an indoor pool, and finally four “open water” dives, during which a student has to demonstrate a number of competencies. After being certified as a PADI “Open Water Diver”, an individual can purchase scuba equipment and have air tanks refilled. [As an aside, this is one of the few areas where the government has not gotten involved in licensure; PADI and one other similar organization, NAUI, are self-regulating.] I was fortunate to be able to receive my classroom instruction and make my pool dives under the supervision of Mr. Brad Knopp, at Midwest Scuba in Champaign, Illinois, and then he referred me to the Red Sail Sports dive shop on Grand Cayman Island [ ], where I completed my PADI certification in March 1999. I subsequently had two more dives in the Cayman Islands, six dives this past summer on the Kona coast of the big island of Hawaii, two more dives in December 1999 off the coast of Oahu [

Despite many great accomplishments, we consider his greatest to be that of his successful 1916 rescue of his entire crew. In that winter, starving and exhausted from twenty months of exploration, Shackleton and five men sailed 1300 kilometers across the Antarctic Ocean. For seventeen days they navigated the fifty-foot gale driven waves of the most treacherous seas on earth in a 23-foot lifeboat to get help for the balance of his expedition.

38. Recreational Deep Scuba Diving Many exciting dive sites lay in deeper water. Deep scuba diving presents speical concerns and problems for the diver. Here is a brief introduction to deep http://www.sportdiverhq.com/deep.htm

Diver Forum Links Dive Centers Destinations Organizations Information ... Shop Online (C) R. D. Decker, 2000 Deep Trimix Diver Forum Shop Online Introduction to Recreational Deep Diving For recreaational level sport divers deep diving is defined as any dive between 60 and 130 feet of depth. Many of the best locations for scuba diving are in this depth range, such as shipwrecks and more pristine reef, deep diving is a popular sport diving activity. As the diver goes deeper the ease of making an emergency ascent is reduced. Additionally, due to the increasing pressure, inert gas is forced into the body's tissues quicker, reducing the allowable no-stop dive time. Another problem deep scuba divers face is nitrogen narcosis, "the rapture of the deep." As the nitrogen in the air the diver breathes becomes narcotic with depth, divers may experience intoxication greatly increasing their risk exposure. For divers desiring to explore deep dive sites specialized training is highly recommended. PADI, NAUI and other mainstream recreational scuba certification agencies offer courses in deep diving. You can find detailed course descriptions in the NAUI and PADI sections of this website.

Diver Forum Links Dive Centers Destinations Organizations Information ... Shop Online (C) R. D. Decker, 2000 Deep Trimix Diver Forum Shop Online An Introduction to Stage Decompression Many divers are familiar with the term "no-decompression diving." In all reality there is no such thing. All dive tables set maximum ascent rates for divers which is actually a decompression procedure. When discussing dives that do not require mandatory decompression stops to avoid Decompression Sickness (DCS) a better term to use is no-stop diving. Conversely, when discussing dives requiring decompression stops a more accurate term is "stage-decompression." "Stage" refers to the fact that the divers stop at various levels or "stages" during ascent to reduce the risk of DCS. As you recall from your entry-level scuba course, as divers expose themselves to the increased pressures of depth, inert gases such as nitrogen and helium are absorbed into the tissues and blood. No-stop divers make realitively short stays at depth in order to reduce the amount of inert gas absorbed into the body. This allows them to make a direct, controled ascent to the surface without substantial risk of DCS. Technical divers, on the other hand, frequently stay at depth well beyond the no-stop limits, forcing them to execute a series of stops to reduce the inert gas tissue loading on their way to the surface (stage -decompression).
