БЯСПЕКА

Вяртайцеся дамоў з кожнага занурання.

Падводная паляванне — гэта спорт з затрымкай дыхання, і акіян не дарагуе скарачэнням. Ніжэй прыведзены агульныя, шырока выкладаемыя веды аб бяспецы, якімі павінен валодаць кожны спіра, за якімі ідуць афіцыйныя органы рыбнай гаспадаркі і марскія органы ўлады, занесеныя намі ў базу паводле краін. Прачытайце гэта, а затым пройдзіце належную падрыхтоўку, перш чым штурхаць свае межы.

Агульныя рэкамендацыі

Асновы

Гэтыя прынцыпы прымяняюцца паўсюль і не з'яўляюцца спецыфічнымі для якой-небудзь краіны. Першыя тры не з'яўляюцца неабавязковымі — яны вызначаюць розніцу паміж звычайным занураннем і смяротным.

Крытычна важна

Тое, што здараецца з вопытнымі дайверамі

Пазнарніцкі абмарок на малой глыбіні

Самая частая прычына смерці пры падводнай паляванні. На шляху ўверх зніжэнне ціску можа апусціць узровень кіслароду ў крыві ніжэй неабходнага для захавання прытомнасці — часта з малым папярэджаннем або без яго. Ніколі не штурхайце затрымку дыхання да мяжы і ніколі не нырайце ў адзіночку.

Крытычна важна

Адзін уверх, адзін уніз

Сістэма напарнікаў адзін уверх / адзін уніз

Нырайце парамі па чарзе: адзін дайвер ідзе ўніз, пакуль другі актыўна сочыць з паверхні, гатовы дапамагчы. Працягвайце сачыць не менш за 30 секунд пасля іх усплыцця — абмарок часта здараецца пры або адразу пасля паверхні.

Крытычна важна

Ненагацыяльна

Ніколі не нырайце ў адзіночку

Абмарок перажывальны толькі тады, калі хтосьці тут жа, каб падняць ваш дыхальны шлях з-пад вады на працягу секунд. Ніякая рыба не каштуе гэтага.

Найлепшая практыка

Будзьце гатовы ўсплыць хутка

Узважванне і скід пояса з грузамі

Ўважвайцеся так, каб быць плыткімі на паверхні і ўсплываць прыкладна з 10 м. Насіце хутказдымную спражку, накіраваную назад, і практыкуйце скід пояса, каб гэта стала аўтаматычным у надзвычайнай сітуацыі.

Найлепшая практыка

Яны не могуць бачыць галаву ў вадзе

Дасведчанасць аб руху суднаў

Заўсёды вывешвайце флаг ныраніі або цягніце буй SMB, заставайцеся каля яго і мяркуйце, што суды не могуць вас бачыць. Усплывайце з адной рукой уверх і незараджаным ружом, накіраваным уніз.

Найлепшая практыка

Ведайце гэта, перш чым ісці ў ваду

Мясцовыя кантакты экстраннай дапамогі і берагавой аховы

Захавайце мясцовы нумар экстраннай дапамогі і кантакт берагавой аховы / марскага ратавання, перш чым нырнуць. Афіцыйныя органы рыбнай гаспадаркі і марскія органы ўлады ніжэй прызначаны для рэгуляторных пытанняў — загадзя знайдзіце нумары экстраннай дапамогі для вашага дакладнага месцазнаходжання.

Найлепшая практыка

Не падманвайце сваё цела

Не гіпервентылюйце

Перадыхання перад занураннем зніжае CO₂ і выдаляе патрэбу дыхаць — не дадаючы кіслароду. Гэтае затрыманае папярэджанне — якраз тое, што выклікае абмарок. Дыхайце спакойна і асцярожна.

Найлепшая практыка

Трэніруйцеся да таго, чым займаецеся

Паважайце сваю глыбіню, час і падрыхтоўку

Развівайце глыбіню і час на дне паволі і толькі пад належным кіраўніцтвам. Нырайце ў рамках вашай сертыфікацыі і бягучага фізічнага стану, а не вашага эга або вашага лепшага дня.

Найлепшая практыка

Акіян дыктуе ўмовы

Правярайце ўмовы і ўраўноўвайце асцярожна

Правярайце хваляванне, цячэнне, бачнасць і прыліў перад і падчас занурання. Выраўноўвайце рана і часта; ніколі не прымушайце гэта рабіць. Калі не можаце выраўняць — спыняйце спуск.

Найлепшая практыка

Падрыхтуйце сябе да поспеху

Адпачывайце, пійце ваду і скажыце камусьці свой план

Стома, абязводжванне, алкаголь і холад павышаюць рызыку абмароку. Адпачывайце, піце ваду, трымайцеся цёпла і скажыце камусьці на беразе ваш план і чаканы час вяртання.

Правераныя дадзеныя

Афіцыйныя кантакты па краінах

Гэта афіцыйныя органы рыбнай гаспадаркі і марскія органы ўлады, занесеныя намі ў базу з нормаў кожнай краіны — узятыя непасрэдна з запісу той краіны, без рэдактавання і выдумак. Яны з'яўляюцца правільнымі людзьмі для пацверджання ліцэнзавання, сезонаў і мясцовых правіл.

Гэта не аварыйныя службы. У надзвычайнай сітуацыі тэлефануйце на мясцовы нумар экстраннай дапамогі або ў берагавую ахову там, дзе вы знаходзіцеся — загадзя знайдзіце іх мясцова перад занураннем.
