When you go scuba diving, they include extra cylinders for emergency breathing.
That's important. There is surprisingly a great deal of safety knowledge required to scuba safely, such as rising slowly instead of too quickly.
True, and for ambient pressure diving, you are exposed to all of the pressure of the water.
You mean without a scuba suit? I haven't heard of that before. Is it newer?
Yes, without a suit, though humans are not well adapted to the conditions of diving, so equipment is recommended.
Are you familiar with the depth limits of ambient pressure diving?
No I am not, but I do know that underwater areas can imposer psychological and physical stress on all divers.
I would imagine. Nothing like being surrounded with pressure from all sides to bring out the claustrophobia in everyone.
Human factors in diving safety
Human factors are the physical or cognitive properties of individuals, or social behavior which is specific to humans, and influence functioning of technological systems as well as human-environment equilibria. The safety of underwater diving operations can be improved by reducing the frequency of human error and the consequences when it does occur. Human error can be defined as an individual's deviation from acceptable or desirable practice which culminates in undesirable or unexpected results.
Dive safety is primarily a function of four factors: the environment
Diving cylinder
A diving cylinder, scuba tank or diving tank is a gas cylinder used to store and transport the high pressure breathing gas required by a scuba set. It may also be used for surface-supplied diving or as decompression gas or an emergency gas supply for surface supplied diving or scuba. Cylinders provide gas to the diver through the demand valve of a diving regulator or the breathing loop of a diving rebreather.
Diving cylinders are usually manufactured from aluminium or steel alloys, and are normally fitted with one of
