SEGURTASUNA

Urpealdi bakoitzetik etxera itzuli.

Arpoiarekin arrantzatzea arnasa-eutsi kirola da, eta ozeanoa ez du parerik lastertasunari. Jarraian dago urpekari bakoitzak eraman behar duen segurtasun-jakintza orokor eta zabal irakatsia, ondoren fitxategian dugun herrialdez herrialdeko arrantza eta itsas agintariei buruzko informazioarekin batera. Irakurri, gero lortu prestakuntza egokia mugak igaro aurretik.

Orientabide orokorra

Oinarriak

Printzipio hauek edonon aplikatzen dira eta ez dira herrialde zehatz bati buruzkoak. Lehenengo hirura ez dira hautazkoak — hori da urpekari normala eta hilgarria baten arteko desberdintasuna.

Kritikoa

Esperientziadun urpekariengana iristea

Ur azaleko galtze-kontzientzia

Arpoiarekin arrantzatzeagatiko heriotzeen kausa ohikoena. Gorantz igotzerakoan, presioa jaisteak odoleko oxigeno-maila kontzientziari eusteko behar den azpitik jaitsi dezake — maiz ohartarazi gabe. Ez inoiz arnasketa-eutsialdi bat mugaraino eraman, eta ez inoiz bakarrik urpean sartu.

Kritikoa

Bat gora, bat behera

Lagun-sistema: bat gora / bat behera

Urpekari binaka urpean sartu eta txandakatu: urpekari bat jaisten da beste batek aktiboki azaletik zaintzen duen bitartean, laguntzeko prest. Azaleratu ondoren gutxienez 30 segundoz jarraitu zaintzen — galtze-kontzientzia askotan azalera iristean edo iritsi ondoren gertatzen da.

Kritikoa

Negoziaezina

Ez inoiz bakarrik urpean sartu

Galtze-kontzientzia bizirik irauten du soilik norbait badago segundotan zure arnasbidea uretik altxatzeko. Ez dago arrainen preziorik horretarako.

Jardunbide ona

Azkar igo ahal izateko prest egon

Pisuztatzea eta pisu-gerrikoa askatzea

Pisuzta zaitez azalean itsasi dadin eta 10 m ingururik gorago flotatu dezazun. Erabili berehalako askapen-fibula kanpora begira, eta praktikatu gerriko askatzea larrialdi batean automatikoa izan dadin.

Jardunbide ona

Ezin dute ur-buru bat ikusi

Itsasontzien trafikoaren kontzientzia

Beti eraman urpekari-bandera edo azaleko markatzaile-boia (SMB), geratu haren ondoan, eta suposatu itsasontziek ezin zaituztela ikusi. Ur-azalera atera beso bat gorantz eta zure arpoia deskargatu eta beherantz begira duzula.

Jardunbide ona

Jakin beharrena uretan sartu aurretik

Tokiko larrialdi eta kostalde-guardiako kontaktuak

Gorde tokiko larrialdi-zenbakia eta kostalde-guardia / itsas-erreskateko kontaktua urpean sartu aurretik. Beheko arrantza eta itsas agintari ofizialak arauzko galderetarako dira — bilatu larrialdi-zenbakiak zure kokapenerako bereizita.

Jardunbide ona

Ez engainatu zure gorputza

Ez hiperbenilatu

Urpean sartu aurretik gehiegi arnasteak CO₂ jaisten du eta arnasteko gura kendu — oxigenoa gehitu gabe. Atzeratutako ohartarazpen hori da hain zuzen ere galtze-kontzientzia eragiten duena. Arnastu lasai eta bigunkiro.

Jardunbide ona

Egiten duzunerako prestatu

Errespetatu zure sakontasuna, denbora eta prestakuntza

Eraiki sakontasun eta hondoko denbora astiro eta instrukzio egokiarekin soilik. Sartu zure ziurtagiriaren eta egungo gaitasunaren barruan, ez zure egoismo edo zure egun onena aintzat harturik.

Jardunbide ona

Ozeanoak ezartzen ditu baldintzak

Egiaztatu baldintzak eta orekatze leuna egin

Egiaztatu olatua, korrontea, ikusgarritasuna eta marea urpean sartu aurretik eta bitartean. Orekatze egin goiz eta maiz; ez inoiz behartu. Orekatze ezin bada egin, eten jaitsiera.

Jardunbide ona

Arrakasta izateko prestatu

Egon atsedenduta, hidrataturik eta esan norbaiteri zure plana

Nekeak, deshidratazioak, alkoholak eta hotzak zure galtze-kontzientzia arriskua handitzen dute. Atseden hartu, hidratu, egon epel, eta esan norbaiteri lehorrean zure plana eta aurreikusitako itzulera-ordua.

Datu iturridunak

Kontaktu ofizialak herrialdeka

Hauek herrialde bakoitzaren arauetatik jasotzen ditugun arrantza eta itsas agintari ofizialak dira — zuzenean herrialde bakoitzaren erregistrotik ateratakoak, ez editatuta ez asmatuta. Hauek dira lizentziak, denboraldiak eta tokiko arauak baieztatzeko pertsona egokiak.

Ez dira larrialdi-zerbitzuak. Larrialdi batean, deitu zure tokiko larrialdi-zenbakira edo zauden tokiko kostalde-guardiara — bilatu hori lokalean urpean sartu aurretik.
