that gas. According to Henry’s Law‚ at the higher pressure a diver exposes his body‚ the more gases it will absorb. This can cause the diver different problems based on the absorption of a high amount of a specific gas. This law explains why decompression illness happens when divers go into depths below 120 feet. In shallow depths‚ the diver can handle the pressure and gas absorption without many problems. ▪ Air Embolism is an air bubble trapped in a blood vessel. When an air bubble travels

Hyperbaric oxygen therapy "is a well-established treatment for decompression sickness‚ a hazard of scuba diving" (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). It involves breathing pure oxygen in a pressurized room or tube (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). In a hyperbaric chamber the air pressure is increased by three times that of normal air pressure which allows the lungs to gather more oxygen (Hyperbaric oxygen therapy‚ 2014). The increase in oxygen within the body allows the body to better fight off bacteria

dangerous decompression sickness which begins with paralysis and ends in a slow death. This is due to the fact that there are no medical or decompression facilities on the boats‚ and there is also no equipment to aid the divers as they ascend to the surface of the water. However‚ there has been effort taken to try and help this negative situation on the Mosquito Coast. A non-profit organization‚ Sub Ocean Safety (SOS)‚ founded by Bob Izdepski‚ was set up to help divers by installing decompression chambers

The Sanskirt Proverb states‚ “for breath is life‚ and if you breathe well you will live long on earth” This could not be more true. Without oxygen‚ life itself would be nonexistent. Imagine what would happen if wounds did not get better‚ incisions did not heal‚ and burns did not improve. This is where hyperbaric oxygen therapy (HBOT) comes into play. Oxygen is necessary for the replenishment of tissues‚ healing of the body and assisting with general ailments. HBOT is used for a wide variety of treatments

The Process of underwater welding was first used back in the 1930’s by the soviet engineer Konstantinovich Khrenov. It was a very vast process used by the Soviet Navy. Today underwater welding is far more advanced and safer. Now‚ don’t get me wrong this procedure is immensely dangerous far beyond belief. This topic I chose was something I was very intrigued by‚ I want to become an exceptional welder‚ and this would be something to master in the future. I have accumulated a lot of knowledge on the
