dangers of scuba diving, how do these dangers happen, how to prevent those dangers and the identification of their symptoms. Introduction: A form of underwater diving with the use of breathing apparatus to breathe underwater is Scuba Diving. Great freedom of movement and longer underwater endurance can be felt for diving with their own or personal source of breathing gas which contains compressed air rather than breath hold. This means that it is different from other forms of diving where…

Nearly three hundred people filled the tranquil water before me. Children splashed each other in delight, while adults preferred to just relax and float on the surface. However, this tranquil water did not last long, as a familiar noise known as “the buzzer” sounded. The buzzer signals the wave generator to begin producing ten to fifteen-foot-high waves. In this instant, each individual is considered to be at risk for injury and it is my job, as a lifeguard, to watch over and protect them. We…

For my Shark Chat topic I would like to speak about citizen science and how people, regardless of age, major, or qualification can participate and become citizen scientists themselves. Citizen science is when local residents contribute to data collection of their environment without having to be actual scientists. I first learned about citizen science through Key Biscayne's Citizen Scientist Project, which is a non-profit organization that promotes citizen science among the community with free…

There’s something about strapping your body into the seat of the helicopter simulator knowing you will drop into the sea survival pool to sink and roll upside down. All while remaining calm enough to extricate yourself from the underwater test module. Oh, by the way, let us not forget to mention doing all this while dressed in numerous layers of heavy clothing under a survival suit to lower your risk of getting hypothermia. Certainly, there are a quite a few dudes that get-off on, that kind of…

Introduction SCUBA diving, exploring the depths under the water’s surface, uncovering hidden secrets the sands and coral have tried to hide.

A diver is exposed to all sorts of dangers while under water; increase pressure from venturing to further depths for example, and how the gasses plus the pressure can harm the human body.

When a free diver dives into deep water, where they know that their life is at risk they aren't thinking about what they’re gonna get for their mother’s for her birthday. Their focusing on one thing. Their focusing and keeping their mind blank, and they think about how they’re connecting with the sea and nothing else. I wish i would’ve known that before. I was bored with my life. I had the same schedule every day. Go to school, come back, do homework, eat, and sleep. Then i would repeat…

The Observational Octopus We’ve all heard some variation of a story in which an octopus has escaped its enclosure, gone about its business, and returned to its tank, all without leaving any evidence for the staff or guards. These types of tells are what piqued my interest in cephalopod intelligence and led me to a study conducted by James B. Wood and Roland C. Anderson where the goal was to identify the differences in escape behavior between various types of octopuses. When searching for an…

Scuba diving has taken many lives over the years. According to research, in 1975 there were about 213,000 divers in the United States. By 1990, there were about 2.45-3.1 million. This increase in numbers means that the number of recreational divers is increasing quickly, and there is a clear need for awareness of dangers and injuries that may occur. Coral reefs, shipwrecks, caverns, and many other underwater treasures around the world are great for scuba divers wanting to explore the underwater…

Divers must have an understanding of SCUBA from both a scientific and recreational view, along with ample training, to properly use equipment and prepare for potential hazards. Prolonged underwater experiences have fascinated…
