Prepping for an AOW night adventure dive and final night diver specialty dive after day one of rescue training. Planning and conducting multilevel training makes for a busy but fun weekend.

I will be conducting the open water portion of Rescue Diver September 25-26 at Fantasy Lake Adventure Park. Plenty of time to complete your eLearning/academics before the water work, and also CPR/First Aid if you need that, or are out-of-date. Let me know if you would like to participate as a student or "willing victim" and we can coordinate on cost and details.

Today's the day!

Join us this afternoon as we welcome senior conservator for the Queen Anne’s Revenge Shipwreck Project, Kimberly Kenyon! Discover how archaeology does not end once an artifact is unearthed and learn how following excavation, an object may require months or even years of conservation before it is stable enough for further research or exhibit. See why this is particularly true of artifacts from a marine environment, such as those submerged in the waters off North Carolina’s coast.

Register at https://register.gotowebinar.com/register/4332067430224902926. After registering, you will receive a confirmation email containing information about joining the webinar.

Yesterday we asked "TRUE or FALSE: Drowning is the primary cause of most diving fatalities" (We admit this question was super tricky, but we made it that way for a reason.)

TECHNICALLY, the most common cause of death in diving fatalities is drowning (this ultimate cause of death is determined by coroners or medical examiners).

HOWEVER, in the DAN & UHMS Medical Examination of Diving Fatalities Symposium, we found that a large number of scuba diving-related deaths ascribed to drowning may in fact be due to other causes: specifically sudden cardiac death and, to a lesser extent, arterial gas embolism (AGE). Also, some fatalities originally labeled as “immersion” or “drowning” deaths have subsequently been found to be caused by things such as running out of air, entanglement, hypothermia, and even events like a cuttlefish attack that caused a perforated ear drum, which led to panic, a rapid ascent and a gas embolism.

The point is: Answering TRUE or FALSE on this one doesn’t mean you’re all wrong or all right. It all depends on how you define “primary cause.”

The most important point to take from this post is that many scuba diving fatalities are PREVENTABLE. If you’re ready to learn how to dive smarter, start by checking out this infographic and sharing it with your dive buddies.
