2. Wetsuit - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wetsuit

   The total buoyancy loss of a wetsuit is proportional to the initial uncompressed volume. An average person has a surface area of about 2 m 2, [14] so the uncompressed volume of a full one piece 6 mm thick wetsuit will be in the order of 1.75 x 0.006 = 0.0105 m 3, or roughly 10 liters. The mass will depend on the specific formulation of the foam ...

3. Scuba gas planning - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scuba_gas_planning

   Calculation of the required weight and buoyancy volume to compensate for gas use can be done if the mass of the stored gas is known. Compensation for wetsuit buoyancy loss is a bit more complex and depends on the type and thickness of neoprene and surface area of the suit, and is best determined by experiment. Dry suit buoyancy loss can, and ...

4. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

   The total buoyancy loss of a wetsuit is proportional to the initial uncompressed volume. An average person has a surface area of about 2 m 2, [9] so the uncompressed volume of a full one piece 6 mm thick wetsuit will be in the order of 1.75 x 0.006 = 0.0105 m 3, or roughly 10 litres. The mass will depend on the specific formulation of the foam ...

5. Ascending and descending (diving) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ascending_and_descending...

   Loss of ballast weight is another cause of buoyancy gain which may not be possible to compensate by venting. [ 16 ] [ 17 ] The standard diving suit can inflate during a blowup to the extent that the diver cannot bend his arms to reach the valves, and the over-pressure can burst the suit, causing a complete loss of suit buoyancy, and the diver ...

   The total buoyancy loss of a wetsuit is proportional to the initial uncompressed volume. An average person has a surface area of about 2 m 2, [18] so the uncompressed volume of a full one piece 6 mm thick wetsuit will be in the order of 1.75 × 0.006 = 0.0105 m 3, or roughly 10 litres.

8. Orca (company) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orca_(company)

   The company is recognised as a leader in introducing new technologies into triathlon. The Orca Apex 2 wetsuit uses AirLite - a world first neoprene technology. There are tiny air pockets trapped in the neoprene to provide increased buoyancy. The Orca 3.8 was the first wetsuit to feature an AirRelease panel.

9. Maximum operating depth - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximum_operating_depth

   In underwater diving activities such as saturation diving, technical diving and nitrox diving, the maximum operating depth (MOD) of a breathing gas is the depth below which the partial pressure of oxygen (pO 2) of the gas mix exceeds an acceptable limit.
