Hazel Lai Scuba Diving 娃娃潛水教練

We had great condition this past weekend! Congratulations to our newest Open Water Divers. Dive N Trips

It's getting really hot in CA today Remember to store your cylinders in shaded area!

Did a training dive last Sunday and it turned into a mini clean up dive 😁

😁😁 can you spot who is hiding? May be this will help you spot some Macro life on your next dive
你找到誰隱藏在生果堆中嗎？也許這會幫助您在下一次潛水時發現常說找不到的微距生物

順便視力檢查一下

Q: "If I'm diving and can see or smell the smoke from faraway wildfires, should I be concerned that the air in my cylinder is contaminated?"




A: That's a valid concern, and one we sent a team to investigate in 2018. After testing air quality in and around 17 dive shops from San Diego, California, to Eugene, Oregon during the wildfire season, DAN's risk mitigation team found no increased risk to divers due to smoke from the fires. Our professionals analysed concentrations of carbon monoxide (CO), carbon dioxide (CO2) and particulate matter in the air near the dive shops and the fires. What the team found was reassuring: NONE of the tests showed elevated levels CO or CO2, even when smoke was present. Although there were high levels of particulate in some areas, these were found to be easily removed by compressors' filtration systems.

Interesting read, looks like there may be some long term effects that's not apparent. 😳😓

"In his article, Dr Hartig describes his involvement with six active scuba divers who were hospitalised with conditions brought on by SARS-CoV-2 and who subsequently recovered and were discharged. When they returned for a check-up several weeks later, they all outwardly appeared to be healthy, but a closer examination proved otherwise."
