AIDA * Course in the Submarine Escape Training Tank (SETT) in Gosport, taught by Deeper Blue (see http://www.deeperblue.net/courses for more information).

One of only a handful of such facilities, the tank trains submariners from around the world in a swimming pool 6m across and 28m deep. Amongst the students on the class were members of BSAC London No.1 Branch, see http://www.londondiver.com

In response to certain comments, please note that the sequence between 2:02 and 2:48 is a simulated diver rescue drill .

  • You are correct ...

    You are correct that the "bends" are caused by nitrogen bubbles.
    BUT only if you inhale compressed air, therefore the total pressure of gas in your body will be more than 1BAR and you will have an overload of gas (both oxygen and nitrogen). The oxygen gives no problems, the nitrogen does as it cannot escape the body quickly.
    When you do not inhale compressed air under water (like free divers) you have no problems and you do not need to decompress.

  • There not getting ...

    There not getting the bends because they are not staying down there long enough. Is that the correct answer? the "bends" is a rapid expansion of nitrogen bubbles in your bloodstream caused by coming up too fast after being past a certain depth. If you just go down and come back up, it would be hard to get the bends. Now if im wrong someone please correct me. but its not "compressed air at depth" that gives you the bends, its not decompressing properly on the way up.
