Use of Technology in Scuba Diving. Dive Computers: Ensuring Continuous Safety and Peak Experience

Abstract

This paper deals with underwater diving. From using a tortoise shell as a diving mask to using cutting edge high-tech, people have been stipulated to use technology in order to spend time underwater. Certainly, without technology, we wouldn’t be able to go as deep and long as we are going today. But, even with technology, there are limitations and risks. This paper deals with the use of technology in scuba diving. More precisely, the technology of a dive computer will be elaborated. Dive computer is a battery powered, pressure-resistant device which provides real-time information on depth, elapsed time, temperature, etc., but most importantly it assists divers in attaining low or no risk of decompression sickness by using decompression algorithms. The ultimate goal of this paper is to build a comprehensive framework for the use of technology in scuba diving. In order to achieve mentioned, it is necessary to manifest the utility and essence of technology in scuba diving. This partial requirement is concerned with introduction in the topic, methodology chosen for the research, review of literature used, framework development and proposal, and conclusive words.
