Coral reefs are, per unit area, the most productive and diverse ecosystems on the planet. Their complexity and, in some places, fragility provide many complications to scientists conducting high quality research in these environments. Scientific diving has been, for the past six decades, a highly cost-effective and productive tool in coral reef research. Using high impact outputs and based main...

A group of schools striped eel catfish Plotosus lineatus (Thunberg, 1787) was photographed during scuba diving at depths 10 m and 17 on 11 July 2022 24 September from Kızkalesi Boğsak regions in the Mersin Bay Mediterranean coast Turkey. With present study, P. is extending its distribution to western coastal waters after first occurrence 2016 İskenderun Turkish Marine waters.

There has been an increasing demand on the part of scuba diving instructors and other diving authorities for a re-evaluation of emergency ascent procedures. Many diving medical authorities challenge the inclusion of open water free ascent or emergency controlled swimming ascent training in basic and advanced sport diving courses. In essence, they feel that-the potential risk of lung barotrauma ...

Despite rapid growth in the marine tourism sector, the impacts of recreation on the marine environment are generally not well understood. Most existing studies of marine recreation ecology have focused on behavioural changes resulting from direct interactions between humans and wildlife including provisioning. However, non-consumptive, non-provisioning human im pacts may also result in persiste...

The purpose of this study was to assess the contribution of SCUBA to the pulmonary effects of diving to 4.5 meters depth in healthy subjects using a randomized crossover control condition. Ten healthy divers performed two 60-minute 'dives' using SCUBA in a swimming pool. The non-immersed 1 ATA SCUBA control exposure took place at ambient pressure in the laboratory. Thirty minutes prior to, and ...
