A festival celebrating underwater exploration of our Great Lakes maritime history
Is there really such a thing as a No-Decompression Dive? If your knowledge of decompression begins and ends with the shaking of a soda pop bottle, you will be wonderfully pleased with James Mott's Balancing the Bubble seminar.
This seminar will cover the multiple gas laws associated with the mechanics of decompression and explore Decompression Sickness (DCS) classifications, types, contributing factors, prevention and knowledge. Additionally, it will give a solid history lesson of decompression, the design of original dive tables, M-values and half-times, pros and cons to multiple theories and will give you an understanding of the commonly known dissolved phase ideology as well as explore the knowledge regarding free phase gas and new bubble models.
This seminar is for all divers regardless of certification level, the focus of this seminar is not to teach or even promote deep-decompression diving, it is on illustrating what is really happening in your body at all levels of a dive. Reef divers and deep divers, Instructors and Dive Masters alike will appreciate the attention to detail and the friendly presentation of these often overlooked concepts. The goal is to show you how a ‘Thinking Diver’ can read between the lines of traditional decompression theory and new modern models.
