| | Diving - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | A letter (A for straight, B for pike, C for tuck, or D for free) is appended to the end of the dive number to indicate the position in which it is to be performed. | | | The calculation of each dive's DD is based on the number of somersaults and twists the dive entails, the direction, the position, and the board or platform it is performed from. | | | High-DD dives such as 109B, forward four-and-a-half somersaults in the pike position, 5339D, reverse one-and-a-half with four-and-a-half twists in the free position, and 5355B, reverse two-and-half somersaults with two-and-a-half twists in the pike position might be competed in the next World's or Olympics. |

| | Second stage scuba diving regulator having a pneumatic-dependent anti-set feature - Patent 5803073 |
| | The present invention relates generally to scuba diving equipment and more specifically to an improved second stage regulator having a flow demand valve that is free floating during periods of depressurization and is independently adjustable relative to a valve seat for optimal performance during pressurization. | | | From the aforementioned prior art description it will be seen that there is apparently no known prior art which provides an anti-set pneumatically dependent relaxation feature in a second stage scuba diving regulator. | | | Thus, there is a need in the scuba diving industry for an improved second stage regulator which provides for spring relaxation as an anti-set feature during non-use of the regulator. |

| | Some of the most popular cavern and cave diving locations feature entrances which are nearly silt free; yet just a few feet beyond the entrance, the floors are covered with deep, potentially treacherous silt. | | | The most important single piece of equipment for cave diving is also the most hazardous to use. | | | Regardless of their prior openwater experience, most cave diving accident fatalities were untrained in cave-diving procedures, inadequately equipped for the planned dive, and/or making one of their initial cave dives. |

| | Free diving, also known as breath-hold diving, is a type of skin diving that does not involve the use of scuba tanks or other underwater breathing equipment. | | | Free diving has been practiced by many cultures through the ages as a way to spearfish and dive for pearls. | | | There is a very mental side to free diving -- many divers practice yoga and meditation in order to relax and lower their oxygen consumption while underwater. |

| | Roger Yazbeck: Freediving, diving to be free - By Hania Jurdak |
| | Free divers are certified scuba divers, yet unlike scuba divers, they dive on breath hold using only their lungs as air supply, a wetsuit, a pair of fins, and releasable weights when a deep dive is desired. | | | Yet with free diving, every dive can be your last, whether due to shallow water blackout, reckless and ignorant boaters or even attack by sharks—an experience Yazbeck has twice undergone. | | | Because free divers are tank-free and seek being part of the ocean—not aliens—fish act naturally in their presence. |
