I watched a DVD titled "Deep Water" last night. Until this morning, I am still not sure of what I should comment on the flick, whether it is bad or it's really bad. You see, the movie is about the stupidity of married couple divers and the incompetence of the scuba diving tour guide. I was really pissed off by the couple's unforgivable unawareness of their diving limitations and I am totally mortified by the inefficiency and lack of security measures of the scuba diving activity of that resort. The only sensible part of the film was when the incompetent divers died.
Although many divers claim that scuba diving really is not risky sport, there are indeed dangers involved in the scuba diving sport. Remember that diving is more dangerous than any other sport, such as baseball or hockey, but it is less risky compared to mountain climbing or street luging. If your scuba diving tools are user-friendly and very reliable, the risk of having any diving problems decreases. Also, if you are a responsible diver and you apply proper diving attitude in your diving activities, then you are less prone to
experience scuba diving problems.
Barotrauma and non-barotrauma are two of the most common dangerous instances that may happen while scuba diving. Barotrauma risks include the alternobaric vertigo, wherein disorientation or dizziness occurs due to unstable pressures in a diver's inner ear. Such problem usually occurs to hard-headed divers who insist on scuba diving even if they have colds. On the other hand, an example of non-Barotrauma is the
nitrogen narcosis or the "rapture of the deep." Such problem arises due to the toxic risk of high nitrogen pressure on a diver's nerve conduction.
