Read moreResearchers from the London School of Hygiene & Tropical Medicine analyzed 2,028 antimalarials from Tanzania and Cambodia.
Read moreThis Community Education program is for both the Medical Community and the Diving Community. Bringing together nationally and internationally known speakers on topics of dive safety, medicine and training.
Read moreThe human body makes physiological responses to adapt to the environmental changes. Moreover, diving equipment, training, knowledge and skills also minimize stresses and increase safety while diving.
Read moreBut sometimes, particularly when we are feeling a need to prove ourselves or need a sense of approval, it becomes more difficult.
Read moreThee master clock responsible for establishing our bodies cyclic circadian rhythms and keeping all the body's cells in sync is the suprachiasmatic nucleus (SCN), a small, densely packed region of about 20,000 neurons housed in the brain's hypothal
Read moreIncreased decompression stress will be experienced by divers remaining warm during descent and bottom phases and cool or cold during ascent and stop phases.
Read moreDivers also need to be particularly aware of balanced leg strength to maximize equipment design. The most ideal set of fins will function better with good muscle balance and biomechanics of the legs.
Read moreThe microparticles are tiny capsules (2-4 micrometers) made of a single layer of lipids surrounding a small bubble of oxygen gas.
Read moreAtrial septal defect (ASD) is a form of a congenital heart defect, such as a hole, that enables blood flow between two compartments of the heart called the left and right atria; Oxygen-rich blood can flow directly from the left side of the heart
Read moreSports fitness regimes typically separate power, strength and endurance into off-season, pre-season and in-season programming. Scuba divers, however, can develop their sea legs by combining power, strength and endurance into the same workout.
Read moreThe ball and socket joint of the shoulder, unlike the hip joint, is more like a cup and saucer as the ball of the upper arm bone (humerus) is larger than the socket (glenoid) of the shoulder.
Read moreThe ideal fitness for diving program addresses the health of the individual diver, reduces the risks on human physiology associated with the stresses of the underwater environment, develops the strength, stamina and coordination for handling gear
Read moreIn fact, divers seem to have their own built-in water clocks pouring over dive logs, recording time in and time out of the water, bottom time and surface intervals, and adding up the flow of minutes as a measure of experience.
Read moreThe dream of the “Blue Abyss” is embodied in the depth records of some of the most famous divers—Jacques Mayol, Francisco Ferreira and Umberto Pelizzari—who have destroyed so many myths and even scientific theories about the limited capacity of hu
