Solo diving: facts and fears
Article Abstract:
Dangers associated with diving alone can be lessened greatly if the diver is highly competent. Regardless of whether the diver is diving alone or with a companion, moments of crisis can be addressed effectively if the diver is a competent solo diver. Such is important since statistics show that about two-thirds of the fatal buddy dives involves a diver who was separated from his buddy. Dive accidents can also be minimized if the diver is physically fit and has proper diving equipment.

The resort wreck: Just say no?
Article Abstract:
Resort wrecks are not accidental wrecks, but those that the tourism industry has dry-docked, gutted and cleaned by pulling out the dangerous dangling cables and pipes, opening big holes to let in lots of light and divers, and deliberately placing it close to the resort for the tourists. They may look safe but the slippery slopes can be quite dangerous so it is better to take a formal training before entering any kind of shipwreck.

Baby, It's cold outside
Article Abstract:
The study shows that when an object hits the cold water, the first thing happens is that it gasps involuntarily and this is a hard-wired response like an alarm bell, which is called cold shock, and such sudden contact with cold water has caused heart attacks in divers with coronary disease. It is described that with less blood supply, skin turns white, hands and feet get cold, and fingers get stiff.
