DCS History In 1670, Robert Boyle looked into the eye of a snake he had depressurized in a chamber, and noticed a bubble growing there. Boyle didn’t have a clue about what was causing it, but being a scientist, he dutifully recorded it. This stands as history’s first mention of decompression sickness (not by name), […]
SS.Raffaello Wreck Design and Construction In 1958, the Italian Line began planning new ships to replace the ageing MS Saturnia and MS Vulcania. Competition from jet airliners had not yet had a huge impact in the Mediterranean area and jobs were needed for Italian sailors and shipyard workers, so constructing new superliners seemed like an attractive idea […]
Decompression Sickness (DCS) The current thinking is that bubbles exist to some degree in the body after all dives. If the bubbles are few and small, they have no effect, but if they exist in quantity, their volume can be large enough to cause decompression sickness. Generally, bubbles must be within poorly perfused tissues or […]

Why Buoyancy Control is important? Buoyancy Control is definitely one of the most important skills in diving. Thus, we can assess a diver’s capability thru this criterion. As an Open Water Diver we learned three types of buoyancy: Positive, Negative and Neutral. Positive buoyancy is when the volume weight of the water displaced by an […]
Breathing in scuba diving is influenced by different factors like stress, fear, exhaustion, depth, heat, activity and trim. Stress, exhaustion, fear, heat and strenuous activity raises the rate of breathing and in severe conditions leads to Overexertion. Further more due to the ratio of depth to density, as we go deeper we consume more air. […]
SCUBA stands for Self-contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus which was introduced by famous french scientist and filmmaker, Jacques–Yves Cousteau in mid 20th century. It has a breathing system and a buoyancy control system. A SCUBA diver equipment usually consist of: BCD: Buoyancy Control Device (BCD) is a jacket-like system for adjusting your buoyancy in scuba diving. […]
