Altitude and Decompression Sickness
High altitude is linked to decompression sickness — why divers should not fly immediately after diving. But what about diving at altitude? Read more about altitude and decompression sickness.
Gradient Factors
While dive computers are helpful, they are limited in predicting decompression stress. Dive computers track dive profiles but don’t integrate in other factors. Read more about the limitations of dive computers.
Wreck Exploration
Shipwrecks are like time capsules of maritime history. Divers of all abilities can appreciate shipwrecks. Gain some great tips and ideas on how to safely dive shipwrecks.
Technical Diving
