The Body and Effects of
Diving Circulation - Heart and Blood
Circulation - Heart & Blood LungsOXYGEN Collected in lungs Travels to heart Travels from heart Delivered to body cells
CARBON DIOXIDE Collected from body cells Travels to the heart Travels to lungs

STIMULUS TO BREATHE
The need to expel carbon dioxide

OT3 1008/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Effects of Diving on The Ear
Reverse EarNormal on descent
Increased pressure and blockage on
descent
Never ‘force’ equalisation
Ascend to shallow depth (pressure)
DO NOT DIVE WITH A COLD

The Sinuses - Effects of Diving
Not serious but results in Blood in the mask Sinus pain Do not dive with a cold
Teeth Dental checkups
Before Dive
During Dive
Bleeding into nasal passage

The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Body Temperature Control
Body heat generated by metabolism Core body temperature maintained at 37oC
Cooler surroundings = heat loss Most through head and face Chest front and under armpitsPeripheral blood supply restricted Hands, feet, nose, ears Less blood flow = less heat loss Shivering Hypothermia
37oC
OT3 1308/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Heat Loss and Diving
Heat Loss In Water 25x faster than air

370 C
Cold water increases rate of heat loss
Insulation consideration for divers
End the dive if getting cold

OT3 1608/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Buoyancy
Density Object sinks
Weighs more than upthrust (Heavier than water displaced)
Object submerged Water displaced
Archimedes principle When an object floats in water it displaces a weight of water equal to its own weight
==
==
Force (Upthrust) = water displaced
Object floats
Weighs less than upthrust (Lighter than water displaced)
++ Air
OT3 1708/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Buoyancy and Divers
Positive Buoyancy
Too light Physically tiring Uncontrolled upward movement
Neutral Buoyancy Weightless state Reduces physical effort
Negative Buoyancy Too heavy Self or marine life damage Risk of going too deep
Positive
Neutral
Negative
OT3 1808/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Buoyancy & Diving
During dive
Air will expand Controlled dumping of air
equalises diver’s buoyancy
Descent
Buoyancy check - correct weighting
Combined effect of diver’s body, suit and SCUBA - positive buoyancy
May need additional weight
Fine tuning with lungs
Ascent
OT3 1908/02
The Body and Effects of
Diving
The Body and Effects of
Diving Exhaustion & Diving
An inability to meet physical demands Buoyancy problems Getting cold underwater Working hard underwater Mental tiredness or anxiety Lack of general fitness The night before!
Always ask the question : Are you fit to go diving?
