Deep Diving - Dealing With Depth

Dealing With Depth

  • Divers carry larger volumes of breathing gas to compensate for the increased gas consumption and decompression stops.
  • Rebreathers manage gas much more efficiently than open circuit scuba, but are inherently more complex than open circuit scuba.
  • Use of helium-based breathing gases such as trimix reduces nitrogen narcosis and stays below the limits of oxygen toxicity.
  • A diving shot, a decompression trapeze or a decompression buoy can help divers return to their surface safety cover at the end of a dive.

Famous quotes containing the words dealing with, dealing and/or depth:

    “What we do in our dreams we also do when we are awake: we invent and make up the person we are dealing with—and immediately forget that we have done it.”
    —Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)

    “Since events are not metaphors, the literal-minded have a certain advantage in dealing with them.”
    —Mason Cooley (b. 1927)

    “Manners are the happy way of doing things; each once a stroke of genius or of love—now repeated and hardened into usage. They form at last a rich varnish, with which the routine of life is washed, and its details adorned. If they are superficial, so are the dewdrops which give such depth to the morning meadows.”
    —Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
