One off the trends are Titanium Regulator...
Titanium is a magic material, the perfect match for the ocean environment. Titanium is strong as steel, yet half the weight. Unlike stainless steel that rusts, brass that turns green or aluminum that pits and corrodes, titanium is a noble metal, inert in sea water. Even after centuries beneath the sea, a titanium part will look as new as it did the day it was made. That´s why it´s often the material of choice in environments where lesser metals would never survive.

 Fins: with them scuba diving is a dream of fluid underwater movement, without them almost impossible. Swimming with fins allows you to swirl through the water with the least amount of energy. Swimming with your wet suit, BCD, air tank and weights on, makes moving under water pretty hard, if not impossible, and most certainly extremely tiring. So you need them. But which ones?

Did you know |
 The greatest concern for any type of exercise after hip or knee replacement surgery is for the surgical site and bone to be completely healed. When your doctor releases you for full activity, and you are able to perform your exercise and daily living activities with full weight bearing and no difficulties, such as pain, swelling or stiffness, diving would probably be allowed. There isn't much difference between the physical demand placed on your hip or knee during a workout in the gym and during scuba diving. As long as the area has an adequate blood flow to help with the off-gassing of nitrogen, a problem is unlikely. As with any type of injury and returning to diving, there is no guarantee that you will not have an injury to your hip or knee. However, the greatest risk divers run is the amount of exposure (depth and time) they have to nitrogen. It might be wise to dive conservatively by not diving as deep, as long or as often when you return to diving. |
