Near-drowning has also been redefined as “survival from a drowning event which involved impaired consciousness or water inhalation for 24 hours or more”2. Both near drowning and near-drowning occur when someone experiences a submersion event. A submersion event is when someone, in this case a pediatric patient, experiences an unexpected submersion in water. When an unexpected submersion, regardless of water type (salt or fresh) occurs, the individual experiences breath hold, panic, and a struggle to resurface1
world. A majority of dangers that come with scuba diving are caused by extreme water pressures. The very first scuba dives performed were in search for jewelry and very short until a way to breathe underwater for longer periods of time was invented. In order for the divers to stay submerged underwater longer, they used a hollow reed. Research shows that later on, “helmets were made of metal to withstand even greater water pressure and divers went deeper” (MarineBio.org 1). These improvements in technology

diving. It is known to us as a "regulator." The regulator conserved air by releasing only the amount of air the Korell 2 diver needed to breathe. This increased the time the diver could stay down on one tank of air to about one hour if he were in shallow depths. Cousteau's regulator was simple and inexpensive and marked the beginning of the sport of scuba diving. The sport grew somewhat slo... ... middle of paper ... ...ery complex topic due to the scientific side of it. There are many scientific
Spearfisherman As a student in the scuba certification class here at State, I have been taught that if you would like to keep all of your limbs, it is best to keep your hands to yourself under the water. This means that if I saw a 52 pound fish, I probably would not try to stab it with a spear, or play a game of cat and mouse. So what makes a spearfisherman? How does one go about spending their recreational time chasing after fish as big as them? Since the 1940’s, spearfishing, the art of hunting

It is better to drink sports beverages that can replace the water and minerals you lose through sweating during hot weather
Kristin Basmagy 5/11/2014 Corc 3208 Section 45080 The difference between a neighborhood and a community is something I never gave much thought about until this assignment. We all live in on a continent, which can be broken down to a country, which is then broken down (in the US of course) to a state, which can further be broken down to a city. After having a city to live in, it is again broken down to what neighborhood you live in, and last but not least, which community you belong to. Now most
Danielle Andersen Colin van Ree Government Period 2 Due: 5/23/14 Peak Oil I. Introduction In ancient times Babylonians used oil as mortar, Native Americans used oil as a topical medicine, and, before electricity, oil was used to create light. Mankind has been dependant on oil as a resource for generations. It has influenced growth, warfare, and technological advancement, but what if mankind were to run out (Alois)? The possibility of this eventuality was first vocalized by M. King Hubbert
