If you take your course at a location that has good deep dive sites, like Similan Islands or Racha Noi, chances are you'll have some "firsts" in your log book. There are a number of significant factors to consider in conducting deep dives, all which require extra caution. Firstly, your students are going to get through their air a lot quicker - five times faster at 40m depth, than at the surface - so you must ensure that they and you are more watchful of the air reserves. If you run out of air at 40m, a controlled emergency swimming ascent that you learned on your Open Water Diver Course will not get you very far. Secondly, nitrogen narcosis - Jacques Cousteau's Rapture Of The Deep - will play a sigificant part. There's no escape and you must be vigilant to its effects. Instructors are not exempt either - I remember well an occasion diving in Mozambique when I took my regulator out of my mouth to try to read my air gauge! I myself am quite easily affected by it, especially in poor visibility (I think it's disorientation that can trigger the effects for me), and students must have the maturity to accept defeat and ascend shallower when under the influence. Thirdly, students must understand that, maybe for the first time, they will need to ascend to end their dive before they run low on air. This is because the controlling factor on a deep dive is not your air supply, but the build up of nitrogen in your blood. Students must have their own dive watch, or better still, dive computer. Other factors that can be important are changes in temperature at depth, visibility and currents. These may be no less significant. One deep dive I made on the Transvaaler Wreck in Cape Town, resulted in an "Advanced Diver" running out of air at the bottom of the descent after six minutes - not good fun! He had never dived in waters so cold before and it quite literally took his breath away. |
