  2. Diving weighting system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diving_weighting_system

    For two objects of different densities but the same buoyancy in water: B 1 = B 2 so (ρ 1 - ρ water) × V 1 × g = (ρ 2 - ρ water) × V 2 × g (g can be dropped from both sides) therefore: V 1 = V 2 × (ρ 2 - ρ water) ÷ (ρ 1 - ρ water) Also, for the same two objects in air (ignoring the buoyancy of the air): m 1 = ρ 1 × V 1 and m 2 ...

  3. Neutral buoyancy - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neutral_buoyancy

    Neutral buoyancy occurs when an object's average density is equal to the density of the fluid in which it is immersed, resulting in the buoyant force balancing the force of gravity that would otherwise cause the object to sink (if the body's density is greater than the density of the fluid in which it is immersed) or rise (if it is less). An ...

  4. 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 ...

  5. Buoyancy compensator (diving) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buoyancy_compensator_(diving)

    Example 1c: The same diver, but 2 kg overweighted, decompressing at 3 m with 50 bar reserve in a 12 litre cylinder will need about an additional 2 litres of gas in the BC for neutral buoyancy. The same depth change of 1 m upwards will increase the gas volume in the BC to 1.3/1.2 × 2.78 = 3.012 litres, a difference of 0.232 litres.

    neutral buoyancy. See: Buoyancy. Having a fully immersed buoyancy exactly equal to weight, so that the forces are balanced and the person or object statically remains at a constant depth. Effectively average density is equal to that of the surrounding fluid medium. The state of neutral buoyancy is typically metastable for a compressible system ...

  7. List of diving environments by type - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_diving...

    The environment may affect equipment configuration: for instance, freshwater is less dense than saltwater, so less added weight is needed to achieve diver neutral buoyancy in freshwater dives. [2] Water temperature, visibility and movement also affect the diver and the dive plan. [ 3 ]

  8. Snuba - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Snuba

    The harness holds the regulator and the air line in place, allowing the diver to swim unencumbered beneath the surface. [1] Full scuba gear, which includes a buoyancy compensator, weights, and cylinder, can weigh in excess of 27 kilograms (60 lb), [ 10 ] but this is not strictly comparable, as it would usually include a wetsuit for thermal ...

    [1] Statistics show diving fatalities comparable to motor vehicle accidents of 16.4 per 100,000 divers and 16 per 100,000 drivers. Divers Alert Network 2014 data shows there are 3.174 million recreational scuba divers in America, of which 2.351 million dive 1 to 7 times per year and 823,000 dive 8 or more times per year. It is reasonable to say ...
