An Unforgettable Diving Adventure: Exploring Y-40 The Deep Joy with Divebase Malta


Yesterday was an unforgettable day for me and my fellow dive buddies from the Divebase Malta diving club. We travelled from different countries across Europe to gather in Y-40 The Deep Joy, an incredible 42-meter-deep thermal water pool in Montegrotto Padua, Italy.

The excitement was palpable as we geared up and made our way into the water. The temperature was just more than perfect and as we dove deeper, the serenity of the underwater world took over. Lots of bobbles going up and the 50-minute dive felt like just few minutes, filled with adventure and new experiences.

As we reached the bottom it was already time to go shallower. At 10 meters we explored the caves. We even went upside down under the glass tunnel, which was a unique experience in itself. We sang in pockets of air and played with the spectators on the windows, making them smile and laugh. It was truly a magical moment.

After the dive, we headed to a typical local restaurant for dinner, where we relived our experiences from the day over a delicious meal. It was a wonderful opportunity for us to bond as a diving community, and I am grateful for the memories we made.

Y-40, the Deep Joy was the world's deepest pool with thermal water and is located in the Hotel Millepini in Montegrotto Terme, Padua, Italy. The pool was designed by architect Emanuele Boaretto and was opened on June 5, 2014. It was recognized by Guinness World Records as the deepest pool in the world on its opening day and as of 2023, it is still the deepest thermal water pool. The pool is 42 meters deep and has underwater caves designed for diving, making it suitable for both freedivers and scuba divers for training purposes.

DiveBase Malta is a diving centre located in the Maltese Islands. It offers a variety of diving courses and activities, including scuba diving, freediving, and snorkeling. The centre also has a retail shop, making it a convenient stop for divers looking to explore the underwater beauty of Malta.

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...
