Dive-aholic:
Working out is not bad for the body. Neither is diving...unless you do it wrong. Our bodies are made up of a large percentage of water, which does not compress in water. The pressure doesn't do anything except to airfilled spaces - lungs (which we compensate for by breathing more air), sinus cavities (which we compensate for by equalizing). No damage comes from diving properly. If that was the case, do you think we'd be allowed to certify 10 year olds?
gasexange in the body ( blood), is one thing pressure has alot to do with , if you do a long dive you better do not, any work out the day before or at the same day , the body needs rest and why ? because you strain the body, pull some energie , it is a matter of how long you dive how deep you dive and how much you take care of the body , so best is we let it be and just say lets
make the best out of it and use nitrox.
example :nitrox 28 / 50 / 80 132 feet 60 min bt , deco for 35min , water cond 36-37 degrees ,all together 95 min , i get out and feel good , if you dive the same dive on air you'll be down for about 180 min , and please don't tell me you feel good and fresh because i won't belive you ,because i get out and i am dired as hell , was for sure not healty .
and i also do not think you would do the same dive with a ten year old .16 year old could be, still i would not suggest it.:no
the way it is with diving, is, if you do things wrong you won't survive for to long .
and even if you do everthing right , you are still in danger does there is something going wrong in your body wich you can't predicet ,
like it is with smokers the don't have the problems so long the are young ,but with age there is the pay back time , and most of the people do pay back , and very little of them do not pay back because the have a very tuff naturel .
for diving i'll pay back proudly , i would not like to do it for any other drug.
it is always the matter of how much you do things or better overdoing them .
and i said damaging sounds way to serious , there is a difference between not healthy and damaging ,at least for me there is .
and as i said as instructor you should know better than i do and i mean that, dead seriously.
diving is to consider as safe , and as safe i do see it , and there will be always a risk be with it (we have to bring the nessesary respekt to it) ,we are no fishes anymore, bottomline .
and be carefull so you don't wear out you ankels with this heavy fins , sorry i mean the tanks
and by the way nice haircut ,looks almost like barbie ken
take it easy , i promise you won't damage your body i do belive in you ,does you will do good diving
.
my longest dive was 200 min in 41 degrees with wet gloves after a nap i did an other 90 min more and all solo
diving is like life to short . my belive is in bottom time and not how many dives i do.
question to you : wich is the problem #1 for deco accidents and why ???
