TƏHLÜKƏSİZLİK

Hər dalışdan evə qayıt.

Zıpkınla balıqçılıq nəfəs tutma idmanıdır və okean qısa yolları bağışlamır. Aşağıda hər spearonun bilməli olduğu ümumi, geniş öyrədilən təhlükəsizlik biliyini, ardından isə ölkəyə görə sizdə olan rəsmi balıqçılıq və dənizçilik orqanlarını tapacaqsınız. Oxuyun, sonra limitlərinizi sınamadan əvvəl düzgün təlim alın.

Ümumi rəhbərlik

Əsaslar

Bu prinsiplər hər yerdə tətbiq olunur və heç bir ölkəyə xas deyil. İlk üçü isteğe bağlı deyil — onlar normal dalış ilə ölümcül dalış arasındakı fərqdir.

Kritik

Təcrübəli dalgıcları həlak edən şey

Dayaz suda huşsuzluq

Zıpkınla balıqçılıq ölümünün ən yayılmış səbəbi. Yuxarı qalxarkən, düşən təzyiq qan oksigenini şüurlu qalmaq üçün lazımlı səviyyənin altına sala bilər — çox vaxt az xəbərdarlıqla və ya heç biri olmadan. Heç vaxt nəfəs tutmanı limitə qədər aparmayın, heç vaxt tək dalışmayın.

Kritik

Biri yuxarı, biri aşağı

Bir yuxarı / bir aşağı tərəfdaş sistemi

Cütlüklə dalın və növbələşin: bir dalgıc aşağı gedərkən digəri səthdən fəal şəkildə izləyir, kömək etməyə hazır olur. Onlar səthdən çıxdıqdan sonra ən azı 30 saniyə izləməyə davam edin — huşsuzluq çox vaxt səthdə və ya səthindən dərhal sonra baş verir.

Kritik

Danılmaz

Heç vaxt tək dalışma

Huşsuzluq yalnız bir nəfər saniyələr içində hava yolunuzu sudan qaldırmaq üçün orada olduqda sağ qalına bilər. Heç bir balıq buna dəyməz.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Tez çıxmağa hazır ol

Ağırlıqlandırma və ağırlıq kəmərinin çıxarılması

Özünüzü səthdə üzücü olacaq şəkildə ağırlıqlandırın və təxminən 10 m dərinlikdən üzə çıxasınız. Xaricə baxan sürətli açma toqası taxın və fövqəladə halda avtomatik ola bilmə üçün kəməri atmağı məşq edin.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Onlar sudakı başı görə bilmir

Qayıq trafikinə diqqət

Həmişə dalış bayrağı taxın və ya səthi işarə büyözü (SMB) çəkin, ona yaxın qalın və qayıqların sizi görə bilmədiyini fərz edin. Əli yuxarıda səthdən çıxın, zıpkınız boşaldılmış və aşağıya baxan vəziyyətdə olsun.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Suya girmədən əvvəl bilin

Yerli fövqəladə hal və sahil mühafizəsi əlaqələri

Dalışdan əvvəl yerli fövqəladə nömrəni və sahil mühafizəsi/dəniz xilasetmə əlaqəsini yadda saxlayın. Aşağıdakı rəsmi balıqçılıq və dənizçilik orqanları tənzimləyici suallar üçündür — fövqəladə nömrələri dəqiq yeriniz üçün ayrıca axtarın.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Bədəninizi aldatmayın

Hiperventilasiya etməyin

Dalışdan əvvəl həddindən artıq nəfəs almaq CO₂ni azaldır və nəfəs alma istəyini aradan qaldırır — oksigen əlavə etmədən. Həmin gecikmiş xəbərdarlıq huşsuzluğa nə səbəb olduğudur. Sakitcə və yavaşca nəfəs alın.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Nə etdiyiniz üçün məşq edin

Dərinliyinizə, vaxtınıza və təliminizə hörmət edin

Dərinliyi və dib vaxtını yalnız düzgün təlimlə yavaş-yavaş artırın. Sertifikatınız və hazırkı fiziki vəziyyətiniz çərçivəsində dalın, eqonuza və ya ən yaxşı gününüzə deyil.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Okean şərtləri müəyyən edir

Şərtləri yoxlayın və əsla zor etmədən bərabərləşdirin

Dalışdan əvvəl və zamanı dalğanı, cərəyanı, görünürlüyü və gelgiti yoxlayın. Erkən və tez-tez bərabərləşdirin; heç vaxt məcbur etməyin. Bərabərləşdirə bilmirsinizsə, eniş imtina edin.

Ən yaxşı təcrübə

Uğur üçün özünüzü qurun

İstirahəti, hidratasiyası olan qalın və kiminsə planınızı bilməsini təmin edin

Yorğunluq, dehidrasiya, spirt içkiləri və soyuq huşsuzluq riskinizi artırır. Dincəlin, hidrasiya verin, isti qalın, sahildəki birinə planınızı və gözlənilən qayıdış vaxtınızı deyin.

Mənbəli məlumatlar

Ölkəyə görə rəsmi əlaqə

Bunlar hər ölkənin tənzimləmələrindən qeyd etdiyimiz rəsmi balıqçılıq və dənizçilik orqanlarıdır — birbaşa həmin ölkənin qeydindən götürülmüş, redaktə edilməmiş və ya uydurulmamışdır. Lisenziya, mövsüm və yerli qaydaları təsdiqləmək üçün doğru insanlardır.

Bunlar təcili yardım xidmətləri deyil. Fövqəladə halda, harada olduğunuz üçün yerli fövqəladə nömrəni və ya sahil mühafizəsini zəng edin — dalışdan əvvəl onları yerli olaraq axtarın.
