Having the best quality dive gear equipment is important for a safe dive

Posted by dfwscubashop on December 28th, 2020

The equipment used for deep diving depends on both the depth and the type of diving. Scuba is limited to dive gear equipment that can be carried, or is easily deployed by the dive team, while surface supplied diving equipment can be more extensive, and much of it stays above the water where it is operated by the support team. We at the DFW Scuba Shop, explain it in detail-

•    Scuba divers carry larger volumes of breathing gas to compensate for the increased gas consumption and decompression stops.
•    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 control their ascent and return to the surface at a position which can be monitored by their surface support team at the end of a dive.
•    Decompression can be accelerated by using specially blended breathing gas mixtures containing lower proportions of inert gas.
•    Surface supply of breathing gases reduces the risk of running out of gas.
•    In-water decompression can be minimized by using dry bells and decompression chambers.
•    Hot-water suits can prevent hypothermia due to the high heat loss when using helium based breathing gases.
•    Diving bells and lockout submersibles expose the diver to the direct underwater environment for less time, and provide a relatively safe shelter that does not require decompression, with a dry environment where the diver can rest, take refreshment, and if necessary, receive first aid in an emergency.
•    Breathing gas reclaim systems reduce the cost of using helium based breathing gases, by recovering and recycling exhaled surface supplied gas, analogous to rebreathers for scuba diving.
•    The most radical equipment adaptation for deep diving is to isolate the diver from the direct pressure of the environment, using armoured atmospheric diving suits that allow diving to depths beyond those currently possible at ambient pressure.
