Abstract:

Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate scuba diving induced exercise response in novice divers as required in open water scuba diving certification. Methods: Maximal cardiopulmonary exercise test (CPET) was performed in 30 novice divers before and within 24 hours after a standard scuba diving open water certification diving protocol of four open water dives. Results: A significant increase in maximal oxygen consumption (VO2max) in mL·kg-1·min-1 after scuba diving training [25.84 (6.0) vs. 27.04 (7.0)] (p<0.05) suggestive of an increase in exercise performance. Ventilatory drive (VE/VCO2) also showed a significant increase 27.95 (2.7) vs. 30.07 (5.3). Ventilatory anaerobic threshold (VAT), blood pressure and lung function parameters showed no significant differences with open water scuba diving certification training. Conclusion: In novice divers, repeated training exposure during open water scuba diving certification results in increased cardiorespiratory fitness. Although further corroborating studies are needed, this would suggest that recreational scuba diving may be an option for exercise promotion in the future.

Abstract:

Exposure to outdoor blue spaces can help improve human health by reducing stress, promoting social relationships, and physical activity. While most studies have focused on the adverse health effects of scuba diving, very few have assessed its health benefits. Moreover, when scuba diving is done in large groups with no diving instructor or pre-dive briefing, negative environmental impacts are generated and negative impacts on human health may also occur due to overcrowding, which may create stress. This is the first study to evaluate the effects of scuba diving on divers’ mental health using their diving practices to estimate the impacts on the ecosystem. In the marine-protected area of Cap de Creus and adjacent areas, we assessed the mental health of 176 divers and 70 beach users (control group) by employing a 29-item version of Profile of Mood State (POMS) questionnaires. According to the parameters associated with reduced environmental impacts, two scuba diving experiences were established. Poisson regression models were performed to assess both the contribution of the activity and diving experiences to POMS scores. Both groups (scuba divers and beach goers) reduced their POMS scores after carrying out the activities. Although no significant differences were found between beach and scuba diving activities, nor between the two different scuba diving experiences, our results showed that subjects with regular medication intake due to a chronic or psychiatric illness had a POMS reduction score significantly higher than other subjects. We conclude that both beach and scuba diving activities have positive effects for human mental health, particularly among subjects with regular medication intake.

Abstract:

Scuba diving is one of the fastest growing and most popular tourism activities, generating approximately a billion dollars for global diving destinations. Scuba diving tourists are willing to travel worldwide to experience diving activities at island destinations offering underwater attractions. Besides highlighting the uniqueness of dive sites, the performance of dive guides can influence a scuba diving tourists’ satisfaction. This exploratory study examines the influence of the dive guides’ professional competencies on satisfaction of the tourists with availing tour packages by assessing the dive guides’ service quality. This study reports the findings obtained from the responses of 345 dive tourists who have availed of diving packages in Malaysia. This study validates that professional competency among dive guides positively affects service quality and a tourists’ satisfaction. Among the findings is the importance of scuba diving operators in providing continuous practical implications to dive guides in order to help them identify their niche market of scuba diving tourists.

Abstract:

[Truncated abstract] Introduction, Little is known about the prevalence of post-course diving injuries amongst Western Australian recreational divers, nor is it known which risk factors affect the Western Australian diver’s likelihood of sustaining a diving injury. Objective, The aim of this study was to measure the prevalence of diving-related injuries amongst Western Australians with varying experience since certification as entry-level divers within Western Australia (WA). Specifically, the study compared divers’ experience, behaviour and equipment with their diving injury history. It was hypothesised that diving experience has an effect upon the likelihood of a certified diver suffering any of the diving injuries most commonly reported amongst international diving populations. In addition, the strength of association between diving injuries and other potential risk factors was measured amongst certified Western Australian divers. Methods, A cross sectional survey of Western Australians, whom had completed a recognized entry-level recreational scuba diving course within WA, formed the basis of the study. Diver training facilities within WA posted a four-page questionnaire to divers they had trained to entry-level within the previous six years. The self-administered questionnaire collected data describing the divers’ post-course participation in scuba diving, injury prevalence during the last year, demographic characteristics and prevalence of known or hypothesized diving injury risk factors ... Conclusion, In this study diving experience, measured by the number of dives made during the previous year and the total number of dives made since certification, has not been found associated with the likelihood of reporting having suffered at least one diving injury of any type whilst diving during the previous year. Whilst the limited response rate and self-reporting methodology threaten the validity of the findings of this study, the findings improve our understanding of the type of diving injuries commonly suffered by divers, and of which risk factors are associated with a diver’s likelihood of suffering a diving related injury within WA. These findings may assist the design of further diving injury research, ultimately leading to the design of diving safety interventions aimed at reducing the prevalence of diving injuries amongst Western Australian recreational divers.

We present Amphibian, a simulator to experience scuba diving virtually in a terrestrial setting. Amphibian is novel because it simulates a wider variety of sensations experienced underwater compared with to existing diving simulators that mostly focus on visual and aural displays. Users rest their torso on a motion platform to feel buoyancy. Their outstretched arms and legs are placed in a suspended harness to simulate drag as they swim. An Oculus Rift head-mounted display (HMD) and a pair of headphones delineate the visual and auditory ocean scene. Additional senses simulated in Amphibian are breathing-induced motion, temperature changes, and tactile feedback through various sensors. Twelve experienced divers compared Amphibian to real-life scuba diving. We analyzed the system factors that influenced the users' sense of being there while using our simulator. We present future user interface improvements for enhancing immersion in Virtual reality diving simulators.

i April 2006, 42 pages Since
the self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) was developed
the growth in the recreational diving population leaded an increase in diving-related injuries, mostly about the ear barotraumas. Previous findings show that inexperienced divers are more predisposed to ear barotraumas. This study was performed to see the dive related alterations of the middle ear pressure and the compliance of the tympanic membrane due to experience (experienced - skin divers and/or underwater rugby players and inexperienced -not use to skin diving or such water sports) and depth (3m and 12m) in 22 novice divers with normal pre-dive audiometry, tympanometry, and otorhinolaryngologic examination. Pre dive otologic inspections were taken and pre dive / post dive tympanograms were measured for each depth. In 8 ears of the 5 inexperienced divers either hyperemia or hemotympany were observed in the second day&
#8217
s (12m) otoscopic inspections. In the first post dive tympanometric measurements
middle ear pressure changes were observed in 19 ears of 14 divers. The compliance was not changed in 5 ears of 3 divers and increased in the reminder. In the second tympanometric measurements, 12 ears of the 8 divers showed negative middle ear pressure and compliance was not changed in 10 ears of 5 divers and increased in the reminder. Due to experience and middle ear pressure changes of each day
no meaningful, statistically significant correlation was found. Also no meaningful correlations were found neither for experience and compliance. A correlation of .542 between experience status and otologic inspection prior to 12m depth dives was a contradiction to the hypothesis there would not be any significant difference between experienced and well trained inexperienced groups as the otologic variations such as hyperemia or hemotympany were only seen in inexperienced novices. Again
the correlation of .571 showed that 3m depth dives had grater frequency of middle ear pressure changes than 12m depth dives. Similarly
due to the compliance correlation of .516, 3m depth dives had a grater frequency of compliance increases than 12m depth dives. These results however should be reconsidered as the 3m depth was the first open water dive day and 12m depth was the next day which the novices could use to the open water conditions.

Abstract:

The underwater environment has become a popular recreational area since the development of a simple and efficient valve which would supply air "on demand" at ambient pressure from a cylinder having air at a considerably higher pressure. This followed improvements by Cousteau and Gagnan on earlier attempts to achieve this change from manually controlled supply systems. The previous continuous-flow system was wasteful of air supplies. This work took place in France during the last stages of World War 11 and was marketed at first under the trade name of "Aqualung". It was a consequence of the post-war publicity given to the exploits of "frogmen" plus an appreciation that oxygen rebreather sets carried serious risks to the users which soon made the potential of this apparatus popular and provoked a flood of imitators. The Cousteau-Gagnan team tried hard to preserve their copyright of the name of their product and forced their competitors to come up with an alternative name. The acronym SCUBA (self contained underwater breathing apparatus) has now become better known than the name Aqualung. The exploits of the wartime "frogman" (who used either rebreather apparatus or were simple swimmers, never scuba divers) popularised the idea of venturing underwater and this was made possible after development of scuba, a far safer apparatus than rebreather units. One consequence of this peacetime influx into the world of divers by amateurs was their insistence on safety, or at the very least a minimisation of morbidity and mortality. Such a basic requirement was minimally considered in wartime and was foreign to the can-do ethos of commercial diving at that time. There was no significant medical interest in diving-related deaths as the causes (drowning squeeze or "blow up") were obvious factors and inevitable in such an occupation. Attention was directed to "The Bends" because this was causing morbidity (and deaths) and this was effecting skilled men so delaying the progress of work, and the need to persuade the crew of submarines that they could escape if their craft happened to sink inspired the development of oxygen rebreather sets. Knowledge was slight, most diver training was "on the job" and the Standard Suit hose-supplied diver of pre-scuba days was dependent on a significant surface team. Medical interest was still at this time effectively nil. It was the demands from recreational divers for reliable scuba instruction which has had a major influence in changing the attitudes to training and diving safety long held by the commercial diving community. This report has been confined to consideration of fatalities with a close time relationship to scuba diving in Australian waters, as this is now the most commonly practiced form of diving. Death may indeed occur in association with breath hold, hose supply and with use of re-breather sets but it is the scuba divers who suffer the greatest number of diving-related fatalities nowadays. Regulation of diving activities has been increasingly introduced in relation to commercial and scientific diving but the only present controls affecting recreational divers are those introduced and applied by the Instructor organisations and dive shop owners. They are aware that the public expects professional training standards of a high quality and that Government regulations will be introduced should too many adverse comments be made by either news media or by some Coroner. They are also partly controlled, although their customers are not, by the Workplace Health and Safety Regulations which have been extended to include diving instructors and those running the commercial dive boats. Increasingly Instructor Organisations have been requiring medical assessment of fitness to scuba dive before they will issue a card showing the person has successfully completed a training course, a card which is now necessary before equipment will be hired, an air tank filled, or the diver accepted on a commercial dive boat. This has been required by individual instructors for many years but it has now become mandatory in Australia and New Zealand in response to an awareness that they would be exposed to adverse comments, as Organisations or as individual instructors, should some "incident" permit the Media or a Coroner to declaim virtuously concerning an obviously unfit person being certificated as fit to scuba dive. A possible additional factor may have been their desire to minimise the perceived claim risk when approaching Insurance companies. Scuba diving pupils naturally object to any medical decision that they are unfit to scuba dive if this is given after completion of a course and their money is not refunded. Gradually if has become accepted that the examining doctor should have some understanding of the basic medically-related factors in diving if a Fit to Dive certificate was to have real value, a matter understood by many of the instructors before being accepted by the medical authorities. In many other countries a medical check is still optional. There is much opinion but little detailed data available on which to base a considered judgment of the relative significance of the medical among the multiple factors effecting the safety of divers using scuba. This investigation has saught to assess the presence or absence of many factors, the medical among them. The results of the survey provide a reliable basis for strengthening or amending present beliefs and practices. During the course of the project a point has been made of publishing provisional reports. These have been sent to all the major Instructor organisations and every one of the Government or police providers of information. In order to reach the diving community directly they have been printed in the Journal of the South Pacific Underwater Medicine Society, which is read by many doctors and instructors. In general, Commercial diving is different from recreational scuba diving in significant ways. Government regulations strictly limit dive times and depths and define the topside supervision which is to be exercised. Hose supply is mandatory for dive depths which a recreational diver would consider commonplace, the use of scuba is limited to shallow depths. There are relatively few fatalities in commercial diving compared with recreational divers, as far as can be ascertained, but the numbers of active divers in each group and their dive profiles is unknown. The term opportunistic commercial could be applied to those only occasionally diving to undertake a job for another person. All such are included in this survey.

Abstract:

The paper utilizes numerical method with performance experiment to investigate the key factors affecting the performance of the Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) system. A SCUBA system consists of a high pressure compressed air tank and a pressure regulator. The development of scuba diving is based on the invention of the regulator. The high pressure air carried by diver must be reduced to the pressure in the ambient environment by the regulator before the diver can breathe it. The life of the diver thus depends on the performance and stability of the regulator. Results show that the index performance of regulator can be predicted and used to improve the performance of the regulator. The numerical method can thus effectively reduce the develop time for new regulators and related products, as described in this article.

Abstract:

Water accidents require intuitive decisions and training for such decisions because of the short time between involvement and death. The goal is to use engineering techniques to train and prevent accidents that require split-second decisions or are caused by human actions or scenarios that are difficult to anticipate.In recent years, the number of fatalities in traffic accidents and disasters has decreased significantly due to the development of technology and new technologies. However, water-related accidents, especially those caused by currents, involve human factors, and the ratio of fatalities to the number of accidents is still high. It is difficult to cover and solve such human-caused accidents with engineering technology alone. Therefore, it is necessary to solve the fundamental problem. The most important solution is to train people. By training people, the fundamental awareness of human factors can be trained, which will reduce accidents. The most effective way to learn these factors is through hands-on education and training. Among these, VR can be performed regardless of the location. It is expected to be much more effective than those obtained from videos or books.Many studies on VR training and Evangelos Markopoulo et al. have conducted a study on maintenance and safety education of ship engine systems using VR. In another study, Victor Saint-Martin et al. studied fire VR training for hospital personnel who have difficulty participating in regular on-the-job training. While there are studies on VR training that focus mainly on visual training, few studies on VR training focus on water accidents and aim to reduce accidents by tactilely displaying the strength of underwater currents. In addition, many underwater VR studies have been conducted for entertainment purposes, and few studies evaluate the perception of danger. In this study, we propose a VR system and a multimodal interface to post the flow of water hazards caused by the flow. Here, we validated the experience of flow using multiple senses, including VR and tactile sensation, to confirm the validity of the risk assessment. We found that the degree of risk perceived by a person can be combined in an additive manner with the risk postings given to each sensory organ, resulting in a higher risk rating. We also found that force postings produced higher danger ratings than tactile postings. These results indicate that using multiple senses to assess the danger of water currents increases the danger rating, and combining it with force instead of tactile sensation further increases the danger rating. In the future, we plan to discuss the effectiveness of this training in developing intuitive judgment. Furthermore, we would like to utilize this training for water accidents and other intuitive accidents to develop the ability to grasp the situation and make a judgment instantly.

Abstract:

Особенности шумов ласт легководолазов, свидетельствующие о мультипольном характере излучения их источников, предсказаны теоретически. Экспериментально продемонстрирована перспективность обнаружения низкочастотных составляющих шума ласт водолазааквалангиста с помощью приемника градиента давления. Полученные результаты свидетельствуют о том, что низкочастотные шумы ласт легководолазов могут быть успешно использованы для пассивного обнаружения и мониторинга как в интересах обеспечения безопасности рекреационного дайвинга, так и в антитеррористических целях. Ключевые слова: легководолаз, шумы, ласты, обнаружение, приемник градиента давления.The features of noises of fins of scuba divers, indicating the multipole nature of emission, were predicted theoretically. Advantages of detecting the low frequency components of the noises of fins of opencircuit scuba diver with the pressure gradient receiver were experimentally demonstrated. The results indicate that the lowfrequency noises of fins can be successfully used for passive detection and monitoring, both in the interests of ensuring the safety of recreational diving and for antiterrorism aims. Keywords: scuba diver, noises, fins, detection, pressure gradient receiver.
