Download or read book Diving Equipment written by Jonas Arvidsson and published by Dived Up Publications. This book was released on 2016-06-28 with total page 205 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Diving Equipment: Choice, maintenance and function is a solid introduction to how diving gear works. It details the choices divers are faced with, and gives tips to help ensure it will last. If you want to better understand diving kit without having to dismantle it this book is the answer. It is filled with colourful illustrations and explanations of the hidden inner workings. Although it is therefore of obvious benefit to newer divers, Diving Equipment will also be of interest to qualified divers. Divemasters, instructors, those in need of a refresher and any non-diver who is curious about diving equipment are all likely to find out things they did not previously know. This book covers a wide range of diving gear including: accessories, BCDs, computers, cylinders, drysuits, fins, gauges, masks, rebreathers, regulators, sidemount, snorkels, stages, torches, weights, wetsuits, wings and more… Although many of the dives we make are in tropical regions, Diving Equipment takes an international perspective. It covers a range of conditions; discusses laws and regulations in different parts of the world; suggests what to look out for and what to ask locals about. If we are curious, we are often directed to look at manufacturers’ websites, with their limited descriptions of how equipment really works. This book aims to plug the gap. Diving Equipment also includes some less common and older items for interest and historical comparison, and finishes with some speculation on what the future might bring. Reviews ‘A must-have for newly qualified divers, but this excellent book shouldn’t be dismissed by those with more experience as a publication on the basics – it offers far more than that. The vast majority of us would benefit from a deeper understanding of the dive-gear on which we rely so heavily, what it does, how it works and how it should be used and maintained. This volume delivers such information in spadeloads, and should be on every diver’s bookshelf’– Diver magazine ‘Some books you read and pass on, but this is one to keep and refer back to for many years to come’– British Diver ‘One of the few diving titles out there that everyone should own and, in my view, should be a required text for those diving professionals working in instruction, supervision or sales’– Steve Warren, INON UK ‘First thing I have to say about this book is that every sports diver should have one… Diving gear is not cheap and can become a serious investment, so knowing what to choose and how best to ensure its long and reliable life is to my mind definitely worth the cost of this book’– Scubaverse Second Edition: This English-language second edition has been completely re-edited and enhanced. Originally published in Swedish in paperback and ebook, and in English as an ebook.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The objective of this report is to describe the results of a worldwide industry survey of the atmospheric diving suit (ADS). A glimpse into the past of significant ADSs from Lethbridge's 1715 "diving engine" to the well- recognized JIM suit is discussed. Several facets are presented concerning present day ADSs, including a closer look at the ADSs in operation today in the offshore oil and gas industry and in the deep submergence programs of several international navies. A comparison of current ADSs against other available means of underwater intervention is made that demonstrates the advantages and disadvantages of each. A general discussion of the engineering factors to be considered in the design and construction of ADSs is presented as well. Based on direct interviews with executives, technicians and operators directly involved, insight is gained into the future of ADSs, including the latest and forthcoming suits such as, the HARDSUIT 2000 - the U.S. Navy's latest submarine rescue tool, Oceaneering's WASP renovation - of which two are expected be in operation by early 2001, and the futuristic but plausible EXOSUIT, the latest prototype shallow-water swimmable ADS. The results of this survey indicate that atmospheric diving suits are a healthy and thriving community among the oil and gas industry, yet comfortable in their niche between the ambient divers and remotely operated vehicles.

This book was released on 2011-02-16 with total page 151 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Hyperbaric oxygen therapy has proven benefi cial for many types of wounds including diabetic ulcers, burns and wounds related to radiation therapy. But where did this technology come from? Who discovered oxygen? How did the Navy discover that divers could be treated for the bends in a hyperbaric chamber? How does hyperbaric science relate to airline pilots, deep sea divers and astronauts? All these topics will be explored; from the fi rst submariner to the largest hyperbaric chamber. The scientists throughout history have been gathered here along with their discoveries pertaining to hyperbaric environments. We employ hyperbaric science and the laws of gas every time we fl y in a jet, prepare food with a pressure cooker or even dive into a swimming pool. Man has always been driven to discover the depths of the ocean. But in ancient times, man was limited by the pressure that water exerts on him. How could a diver overcome this tremendous pressure? We, each and every human being on the face of the planet, have a column of air pushing down on us. This column of air goes from the top of our heads to the edge of outer space. So, the next time you feel you are under pressure, be sure to remember that YOU ARE!

Download or read book The Diving Bell and the Butterfly written by Jean-Dominique Bauby and published by Vintage. This book was released on 2008-03-06 with total page 146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A triumphant memoir by the former editor-in-chief of French Elle that reveals an indomitable spirit and celebrates the liberating power of consciousness. In 1995, Jean-Dominique Bauby was the editor-in-chief of French Elle, the father of two young children, a 44-year-old man known and loved for his wit, his style, and his impassioned approach to life. By the end of the year he was also the victim of a rare kind of stroke to the brainstem. After 20 days in a coma, Bauby awoke into a body which had all but stopped working: only his left eye functioned, allowing him to see and, by blinking it, to make clear that his mind was unimpaired. Almost miraculously, he was soon able to express himself in the richest detail: dictating a word at a time, blinking to select each letter as the alphabet was recited to him slowly, over and over again. In the same way, he was able eventually to compose this extraordinary book. By turns wistful, mischievous, angry, and witty, Bauby bears witness to his determination to live as fully in his mind as he had been able to do in his body. He explains the joy, and deep sadness, of seeing his children and of hearing his aged father's voice on the phone. In magical sequences, he imagines traveling to other places and times and of lying next to the woman he loves. Fed only intravenously, he imagines preparing and tasting the full flavor of delectable dishes. Again and again he returns to an "inexhaustible reservoir of sensations," keeping in touch with himself and the life around him. Jean-Dominique Bauby died two days after the French publication of The Diving Bell and the Butterfly. This book is a lasting testament to his life.

Download or read book The Swift Fat Man Diving Suit Operator's Guide written by Thomas Hudson and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-26 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Way back when Tom Swift invented his Jetmarine submarine, he also came up with a combination escape and deep water exploration suit. Golden and egg-shaped it was soon dubbed the "Fat Man" suit. Entry was through a forward-facing round hatch/viewport that only allowed the occupant to see what was right in front of him or her. With the Model B, Tom reworked the configuration and made the suit more adaptable to a civilian user. This was all done with an eye toward selling the suits. And, sell they did, ultimately numbering over 3,900 before production was shut down. Like the original the suit provided a single operator a comfortable seat, propulsion to scoot around in great depths, and a pair of retractable arms and legs letting the user walk on the floor of the ocean and grab onto things. Unlike the original, Model B was capable of remaining underwater for more than a day and had an escape system in case of a crisis. This is the user's guide (or Owner's Manual if you will) for the suit as it was being finalized. The artwork was eventually replaced with photographs and the whole thing printed in full color. Sadly, none of the original art still exists today, and so this reproduction of that nearly-complete manual is all that is possible to produce. Enjoy going through the guide and imagining yourself sitting inside one of these golden beauties.
