If I the right equipment, would I be able to survive in a whale?

Suppose I had the smallest possible size equipment and got stuck in a whale with a scuba diver suit, a air-tank and 2 days worth of food, would i be able to survive in a whale.

No, and no one in history (except the religious Jonah references) has survived being swallowed by a whale. Assuming you were swallowed whole, you would either A, suffocate and die- most likely.
or B- be digested.

Is Buoyancy the Single Most Important Scuba Diving Skill?

When starting out scuba diving most trainees struggle with their buoyancy for a while. They are introduced to an alien environment and find that they are either floating or sinking. Unfortunately, many divers with years of scuba diving behind them still have problems with their buoyancy. In the shallow confines of a training pool bad buoyancy can be corrected by the instructor. When deep diving for extended periods of time this is not possible and poor buoyancy could be extremely dangerous.

The physicals laws of buoyancy are described by Archimedes Principle - that most of us encountered at school. It states that a body immersed in a liquid experiences an up-thrust on it that is equal in size to the weight of the liquid that it is displacing. Therefore if a boat displaces water equal in weight to itself then this will be experienced as a force pushing it upwards so that it floats on the surface. Conversely a stone will sink because being denser than water it displaces a volume weighing less than itself. The up-thrust is less than its own weight and it therefore sinks.

The boat is exhibiting positive buoyancy whereas the stone is negatively buoyant. We scuba divers do not want to flop on the surface or sink like a stone. We need to be neutral in the water so that with a lazy kick of our fins we can move up or down. If we floated we would have to paddle hard to duck beneath the surface and if we sank, we would always be struggling to compensate for the tendency to sink.

Neutrally buoyant means less effort and therefore less air consumption. It allows us the best control of our attitude within the water and is more comfortable than always having to swim to keep a position. Scuba diving enthusiasts get to be neutral by balancing their diving equipment. Often this is by trial and error and because a thick insulating wetsuit or dry suit is usually worn it will mean adding lead weights to the scuba gear. Often several kilos of lead are added by way of a weight belt or alternatively in weight pouches in the buoyancy jacket. The time to adjust weighting is at the end of the dive, when most of the air has been drained from the tanks. As the air that has been breathed can weigh a couple of kilos, depending on the size and configuration of tanks being used, the diver is at his or her lightest at the end of the dive and at this point must adjust their weighting to achieve neutral buoyancy. Carrying this out at the start of the dive could result in the diver being very positively buoyant by the end of the dive!

The weight belt and weight pouches can be removed by the diver quickly. The weight belt has a quick release buckle and the pouches are usually attached by Velcro. Thus, in an emergency the diver, or his buddy, can remove the weights and the diver will shoot to the surface where he can be rescued. This is a controversial rescue method, and the deeper and longer the dives being conducted, the more dangerous as an emergency procedure this becomes. A rapid ascent in only a few meters of water by a panicking diver after a twenty minute dive is likely to lead to a safe rescue. A similar buoyant ascent from 40 meters after an hour under water will lead to severe diving illness such as burst lung and decompression sickness. Even if a safe ascent is made, the diving computer used to monitor the dive will probably lock you out from diving for a day or more after a too swift ascent.

For such extended range diving it is often advisable to reduce the emergency jettison weights, to ensure that an emergency ascent is not too swift. Many divers have a combination of pouches and weight belts so that only part has to be removed to achieve slight positive buoyancy. A technical diver may even use integral weights in his twin set that cannot be removed. They know that a rapid ascent would be just as final as drowning. Some will wear a couple of removable kilo weights in small pouches - some do not.

Buoyancy is seen as a critical skill in scuba diving. Without good control, it is impossible to swim over delicate coral without doing damage or hard to hover while carrying out safety stops or decompression procedures. Being over weighted can be dangerous and even worse, wearing ill fitting or badly secured weights can result in unexpected buoyant ascents and the consequential damage this can do to a diver's body.

Dry Snorkel

admin — Mon, 25 Jan 2010 16:03:56 +0000

Back in the old days, snorkelers had to contend with U-shaped, rigid-tubed snorkels that did not in any way took into consideration user comfort and convenience in its construction. The functionality of traditional, non-purge snorkels entailed intermittent blowing action in order to expel excess water that typically floods the tubular barrel in the conduct of snorkeling. Moreover designed with a rigid (straight) barrel and rubber mouthpiece, user discomfort and jaw fatigue was imminent in the use of the scuba gear.

A breakthrough product to come out from the traditional line of snorkels is the dry snorkel, which has been streamlined for user comfort while outfitted with a self-regulating valve that considerably prevents the entry of water into the tube. Intending to upgrade from a semi-dry to a total dry snorkel? The IST Dry Topped Purge Snorkel is one scuba gear you definitely should sample! Featured below are the functional mechanisms of this purposeful and modern snorkel.

Water Deflector Top. There is a good reason why the IST Dry Topped Purge Snorkel is called dry. And that is because this scuba gear was designed to keep the insides of the barrel dry most of the time - if not all the time! The snorkel is equipped with a self-regulating, dry top mechanism that automatically shuts off when the snorkel gets fully submerged in the water and consequently opens upon resurface. The mechanism prevents the water's entry into barrel and averts the user from inhaling or even swallowing sea water.

One Way Purge Valve. The IST Dry Topped Purge Snorkel comes with a purge valve located close to the mouthpiece that expels water from the snorkel. With a purge valve, the user need not worry about the likelihood of water rushing into the snorkel. Not that there's much water coming into the barrel, if you take its water deflecting mechanism in consideration. Should water accidentally get into the tube, simply maneuver the purge valve to clear the water.

Flexible Barrel. A major component of the snorkel is the flexible tube that feeds air to the snorkeler. Made of silicone, the elastic barrel is contoured in such a way to level off with the head and guarantee optimum user comfort as the snorkel is firmly strapped to the mask's keeper.

Silicone Mouthpiece. The mouthpiece of this scuba gear is also made of silicone, which only implies extended bottom times, a longer serviceable life for your snorkel and freedom from jaw or mouth fatigue as silicone is soft and pliant to begin with.

The dry topped, purge snorkel is perfect for all types of snorkelers and for scuba divers as well. If you're an avid snorkeler, don't settle for anything less than a dry snorkel. Go get an IS T Dry Topped Purge Snorkel [http://www.scubasuppliers.com/site/1408308/product/SN50] today and see the difference.
