Skin And Scuba Diving Fatalities Involving U S Citizens 1971 written by Hilbert Schenck (Jr.) and has been published by this book supported file pdf, txt, epub, kindle and other format this book has been release on 1972 with Scuba diving categories.
During 1971 there were 115 fatal accidents involving compressed air, non-military diving by U.S. Citizens, compared with 116 fatal cases in 1970. Sixteen skin divers died in 1971 as against 27 in 1970. New York and Hawaii showed substantial increases in diving deaths with Florida and Washington showing large reductions. The Florida decrease is apparently due to a reduction in cave diving accidents. Accident distribution by weekday and month were similar for the two years, Saturday and Sunday having almost two-thirds the case totals and the four summer months (May through August) having well over half the case load. The bulk of victims were drawn from the age range, 16 to 30 years. Twenty percent of all scuba victims were on their first dive or first open dive in 1971 compared to 16% in these categories in 1970. Fifteen novices died undergoing instruction, eight of these in a 'regular' or professional program. The bulk of the victims were lost in the water for periods in excess of ten minutes. Resuscitation was attempted in almost all cases. Inflatable vests often failed to inflate or to support the diver properly. Primary causes of accidents are varied, with inexperience and panic, lung over-pressure, and diving in dangerous areas being important problems. (Author Modified Abstract).

“Superbly written and action-packed, The Last Dive ranks with such adventure classics as The Perfect Storm and Into Thin Air.”—Tampa Tribune Spurred on by a fatal combination of obsession and ambition, Chris and Chrisy Rouse, an experienced father-son scuba diving team, hoped to achieve wide-spread recognition for their outstanding and controversial diving skills by solving the secrets of a mysterious, undocumented, World War II German U-boat that lay only a half day’s mission from New York Harbor. The Rouses found the ultimate cost of chasing their personal challenge: death from what divers dread the most—decompression sickness, or “the bends.” In this gripping recounting of their tragedy, author Bernie Chowdhury, himself an expert diver, explores the thrill-seeking, high-risk world of deep sea diving, its legendary figures, most celebrated triumphs, and notorious tragedies.

From one of the world’s most renowned cave divers, a firsthand account of exploring the earth’s final frontier: the hidden depths of our oceans and the sunken caves inside our planet More people have died exploring underwater caves than climbing Mount Everest, and we know more about deep space than we do about the depths of our oceans. From one of the top cave divers working today—and one of the very few women in her field—Into the Planet blends science, adventure, and memoir to bring readers face-to-face with the terror and beauty of earth’s remaining unknowns and the extremes of human capability. Jill Heinerth—the first person in history to dive deep into an Antarctic iceberg and leader of a team that discovered the ancient watery remains of Mayan civilizations—has descended farther into the inner depths of our planet than any other woman. She takes us into the harrowing split-second decisions that determine whether a diver makes it back to safety, the prejudices that prevent women from pursuing careers underwater, and her endeavor to recover a fallen friend’s body from the confines of a cave. But there’s beauty beyond the danger of diving, and while Heinerth swims beneath our feet in the lifeblood of our planet, she works with biologists discovering new species, physicists tracking climate change, and hydrogeologists examining our finite freshwater reserves. Written with hair-raising intensity, Into the Planet is the first book to deliver an intimate account of cave diving, transporting readers deep into inner space, where fear must be reconciled and a mission’s success balances between knowing one’s limits and pushing the envelope of human endurance.

Based on the provocative film documentary of the same name, The Third Dive investigates the shocking death of a world-renowned conservation activist. When experienced diver and award-winning filmmaker Rob Stewart (Sharkwater and Sharkwater: Extinction) drowned while diving off the coast of the Florida Keys in 2017, it was a shock to the world's environmental movement. Reports suggested that Stewart was encouraged to perform a dangerous and ultimately fatal dive by a reckless Svengali-like instructor named Peter Sotis. Some bloggers went so far as to report that Sotis survived the dive by clawing his way onto the boat first, leaving Stewart to drown. A civil case was launched which directed blame at Horizon Divers, the company that had taken Stewart out on the dive. The allegation was that they had not done their jobs properly and left him to die in the water. Through interviews and investigative reporting, The Third Dive is a compelling read that attempts to uncover the mysterious and disturbing circumstances surrounding Rob Stewart's untimely death.
