A look to the future


SCUBA diving has come a long way since its origins in the 1940s. From the early days of bulky and heavy equipment to today's sleek and advanced dive gear, the future of SCUBA diving looks bright and full of exciting advancements in technology.

One emerging trend in the world of SCUBA diving is the use of rebreathers. These devices allow divers to recycle their exhaled air, which significantly increases their underwater time and reduces the amount of bubbles released into the water. Rebreathers are becoming more popular among technical divers, who require longer dive times for exploration and research, but are also being used by recreational divers for a more peaceful diving experience.

Another trend in the SCUBA diving industry is the use of drones for underwater photography and exploration. Drones equipped with high-quality cameras and specialized sensors can capture stunning images and video, while also gathering valuable data for research purposes. These drones can also be used to inspect underwater structures or survey marine life without the need for a human diver.

In terms of dive gear, there are several advancements on the horizon. One example is the development of dive computers, with the introduction of artificial intelligence and augmented reality features to enhance the diving experience.

In addition to these technological advancements, the SCUBA diving industry is also focusing on sustainability and eco-friendliness. Dive centres and businesses are implementing environmentally-friendly practices, such as using eco-friendly dive gear and promoting conservation efforts.

Overall, the future of SCUBA diving looks bright with the continued development of advanced technology and a focus on sustainability. From rebreathers and drones to full-face masks and AI-powered dive computers, divers can look forward to exciting new experiences and innovations in the world of SCUBA diving.

Posso trasportare le mie bombole in auto? La risposta e'...

...ovviamente si! ma vediamo come e' disciplinato l'argomento e se ci sono accorgimenti particolari da tenere in considerazione. Nella mia macchina privata Un subacqueo può arrivare al sito di immersione in automobile e portarsi la bombola con aria compressa o nitrox, l’ossigeno di emergenza, l’argon per la muta stagna. Un privato che trasporta bombole subacquee caricate con aria, nitrox o argon per motivi personali (es. immersioni ricreative o ricariche) non è tenuto ad avere alcun documento di trasporto né etichette sul veicolo o sulla bombola. Deve solo trasportare la bombola in sicurezza nel portabagagli o sul pavimento del veicolo. La bombola non deve stare in posizione verticale ma incastrata tra i bagagli o dietro ai sedili per non farla rotolare di qua e di là. Su una macchina aziendale Le norme per le  aziende del settore subacqueo  sono diverse da quelle per i privati. C’è un limite di 1000 litri di volume totale di bombole di aria, nitrox, ossige...

Perchè li chiamiamo "BENDS"?

Immagine
In italiano sarebbe "La malattia dei cassoni", più comunemente definita come "Bends". Ma da dove deriva questo nome? La storia ci riporta agli inizi del '900, periodo nel quale operai dragavano il fondo di laghi, fiumi ed il mare con questi grossi cubi immersi in acqua e riempiti di aria compressa. Questi Cassoni avevano un grosso tubo nella parte superiore, denominato "camino" nel quale vi erano le scale per l'accesso alla parte immersa e per il pompaggio dell'aria compressa. Nella parte superiore vi era, di solito, una camera di compensazione. Il fondo invece era aperto per permettere la lavorazione. Come è semplice intuire, pur inconsapevolmente, tali operai erano del tutto soggetti alle stesse leggi che regolano l'attuale subacquea e quindi anche alla Malattia da Decompressione. Nel loro caso specifico, repentini cambi di pressione inducevano alla formazione di bolle nei tessuti dell'organismo, e proprio in quel periodo l...

Understanding the Forces of the Ocean: Current, Surge, Tide, Wave, and Swell

Understanding the Forces of Ocean Currents Ocean currents are dynamic and powerful forces that shape our planet's oceans, influencing everything from climate patterns to marine life migration. At the heart of understanding ocean currents lies a complex interplay of various factors, including wind, temperature, salinity, and Earth's rotation. In this article, we delve deep into the mechanics behind ocean currents, exploring their origins, types, and impact on global ecosystems. Origins of Ocean Currents Ocean currents are primarily driven by two main factors: wind and density gradients. Surface currents, also known as wind-driven currents, are primarily influenced by the frictional drag of the wind on the ocean's surface. As winds blow across the water, they transfer their energy to the surface, creating movement and generating currents. These surface currents can travel vast distances and play a crucial role in redistributing heat around the globe. Below the surface, densit...
