It Makes It Safer and More Fun!
Deep-sea diving is one of the riskiest and dangerous professions, and technology that can minimize this risk and make deep-sea diving easier and more enjoyable will definitely benefit this field.
In this post, I will discuss the following aspects in detail: how technology is used in deep-sea diving and the inventions that were brought into use to improve it.
Swimsuits to Improve Deep Sea Diving
Many swimsuits have been developed with technology to improve deep-sea diving. The diving suits provide thermal protection, buoyancy which aids for more stability underwater, anti-bacterial protection, high water pressure resistance, and protection from extreme cold/heat.
These improved suits are ideal for divers who spend most of their time in the water and want a suit they can wear more than once on a day of diving. The performance fit of the improved swimsuits lets you glide effortlessly through the water and is built from high-grade materials that withstand the wear and tear of everyday use.
High-Efficiency Underwater Light
150 meters (492 ft.) below sea level, divers face extreme temperatures, high pressure, and low visibility.
Taking inspiration from the deep-sea lanternfish, Ocean Alliance scientists developed Flashlight Fish Illumination Appliqué (FIA), a highly efficient underwater light. The more you shine your flashlight, the more it glows to see your surroundings clearly.
Dive Computers
Have you recently started scuba diving, or have you just picked up a new hobby? Before starting your new adventure, it’s imperative that you get the right gear that will maximize your diving experience.
A Special type of Wristwatch
I would highly encourage you to invest in a dive computer. A dive computer is a special type of wristwatch used by divers to help keep track of their information at all times, similar to health-tracking apps; These devices help divers stay safe and map out the safest route during their dives.
Dive computers are used by professional divers to ensure that they stay safe while diving. While wearing the dive computer, the diver is able to measure the depth of water, air pressure, water temperature, decompression status of the diver and other essential elements without having to remove their mask.
The dive computers display the information in a way that is easy for divers to see while underwater.
Underwater Cameras
Underwater cameras offer a fascinating and easy way of capturing images and videos of marine life. Submerged cameras make it possible for those who live above the surface to enjoy the wonders of underwater life.
These videos and images can be used as the perfect tool to learn about the importance of protecting marine life and pushing for deeper conservation efforts.
Underwater cameras can provide such a unique perspective on such a special part of the world, so if you love diving or are thinking about taking it up as a hobby, undersea cameras may just be what you need.
A Drone
An underwater exploration drone can be used to map the ocean floor, monitor the health of coral reefs, count fish species, find shipwrecks, and more. Use this technological device to familiarize yourself with your area of diving to save time plus avoid dangerous areas.
Many of the drones are made out of material that is designed to withstand extreme pressure and their camera system uses water-resistant housings.
