Recreational scuba diving in Caribbean Marine Protected Areas: do the users pay? Green, E.; Donnelly, R. / International Coral Reef Action Network (ICRAN) There are more than 200 marine protected areas (MPAs) in the Caribbean and Central America that contain coral reefs and are therefore theoretically attractive to scuba divers. This study surveyed one fifth of dive operators in 30 countries for their use of MPAs. Key findings were: the majority are located within 20 km of at least one MPA 46% conduct at least 80% of their diving within a MPA An estimated 15 million dives take place outside of Florida each year, half of these occurring inside MPAs Only 25% of MPAs containing coral reefs charge divers an entry or user fee, which is most usually USD 2–3 levied per dive or per diver The revenue generated by these fees is estimated at USD 1–2 million annually, but the potential for generating income has not been fully realized.

In short, scuba diving is an underwater activity practiced with the help of equipment worn by the diver which provides a supply of breathing gas allowing the diver to remain underwater for long periods. There are two types of SCUBA equipment: the Aqua-Lung - a system consisting of a tank or diving cylinder containing a high pressure breathing gas and diving regulator that supplies the diver with that gas at a pressure suitable for the depth of the diver. This type of SCUBA equipment is known as 'open circuit' because exhaled gas is lost to the environment. Click the link for more information.

Search our site: Be a Sea Fan Effects Of Recreational Scuba Diving On Coral Reefs: Trampling On Reef-Flat Communities Julie P. Hawkins and Callum M. Roberts Research Center, Sharim-el- Sheikh, Egypt ABSTRACT This study investigated the effects of trampling by scuba divers and snorkelers on reef-flats of coral reefs near Sharim-el- Sheikh, a popular resort in Egypt. There were significantly more damaged coral colonies and loose fragments of live coral rocks in heavily trampled areas. Percentage cover of bare rock and rubble was also significantly greater; conversely numbers of hard coral colonies and total percentage of live coral cover were lower. Coral colonies were smaller in trampled compared to control areas, with average height and diameter significantly less in heavily trampled areas. An area regularly visited be snorkelers exhibited intermediate effects. Coral species composition and the relative abundances of different coral growth forms did nor appear to be affected by the trampling. Several of the effects detected differed between outer and middle zones of the reef flat, suggesting that some communities were more vulnerable to trampling than others.

Nitrox Scuba Diving by Burks Oakley II oakley@uis.edu COM 333 , Spring 2000 Semester University of Illinois at Springfield 30 April 2000 Background Slightly more than one year ago, I became interested in scuba diving (actually, my younger daughter, Amy, became interested, and I did not want to miss out on all the fun). However, before I could scuba dive, I needed to receive certification from the Professional Association of Diving Instructors (PADI) [ The PADI certification process includes six hours of classroom instruction, six lessons in an indoor pool, and finally four “open water” dives, during which a student has to demonstrate a number of competencies. After being certified as a PADI “Open Water Diver”, an individual can purchase scuba equipment and have air tanks refilled. [As an aside, this is one of the few areas where the government has not gotten involved in licensure; PADI and one other similar organization, NAUI, are self-regulating.] I was fortunate to be able to receive my classroom instruction and make my pool dives under the supervision of Mr. Brad Knopp, at Midwest Scuba in Champaign, Illinois, and then he referred me to the Red Sail Sports dive shop on Grand Cayman Island [ ], where I completed my PADI certification in March 1999. I subsequently had two more dives in the Cayman Islands, six dives this past summer on the Kona coast of the big island of Hawaii, two more dives in December 1999 off the coast of Oahu [

By Dr. Ronson Chi Tang LI M.B. Dip.Fam.Med(C.U.H.K.) Dip.Occup.Med(C.U.H.K.) Honorary Assistant Professor in Family Medicine The Chinese University of Hong Kong The origins of diving are firmly rooted in the needs and desires of men to engage in underwater commerce, to conduct salvage and military operation, and to expand the frontiers of knowledge through exploration, research, and development. More than 1.4 million amateur scuba divers in the United States, similar number of scuba divers in Australia, U.K. and countless number in other countries they are more or less facing the effects of diving hazards. Although scuba diving is fun, exciting, happy and enjoyable, scuba diving is not a major recreational activity compared to competitive athletes, cycling and many others. Therefore, public awareness of the related hazardous factors and resource for general and specific knowledge are not adequate. Currently, under the Hong Kong Underwater Association (HKUA) there are over 20 clubs or shop members in Hong Kong. They are all sport-diving (Recreational diving) related and a number of them provide sport-diving training ranging from basic, advanced and instructor to instructor trainer level of different systems. These clubs can issue their own certificates of training and assist the trainees to obtain memberships or qualifications of different classes in a number of international sport-diving associations. However, the number of so called ¡¥freelance¡¦ small diving groups or clubs, instructors and divers are not known and unqualified or untrained divers in Hong Kong are not uncommon especially those practicing fish harvesting.
