Oceans 5 dive resort supports Oceans CleanUp

Oceans 5 dive resort Gili Islands supports the Ocean CleanUp Project. "Human history is basically a list of things that couldn’t be done, and then were done." 19-year-old Boyan Slat combines environmentalism, entrepreneurism and technology to tackle global issues of sustainability. While diving in Greece, he became frustrated when coming across more plastic bags than fish, and wondered: "why can't we clean this up?" While still in secondary school, he then decided to dedicate half a year of research to understand plastic pollution and the problems associated with cleaning it up.

This ultimately led to the passive cleanup concept, which he presented at a TEDx conference in 2012. To be able to show the concept he envisioned is technically feasible and financially viable, Boyan Slat paused his life as a first-year Aerospace Engineering student, to focus all his time to developing the idea. On June 3rd 2014, The Ocean Cleanup presented the 530-page feasibility study report (authored by 70 people), which indicated the concept is indeed a feasible method to clean almost half the plastic from the Great Pacific Garbage Patch in just 10 years. In 2012, The Ocean Cleanup Array was awarded Best Technical Design at the Delft University of Technology. Boyan Slat has been recognised as one of the 20 Most Promising Young Entrepreneurs Worldwide (Intel EYE50). Oceans 5 dive resort support the Ocean CleanUp Project by donating $1 per diver at Oceans 5. Oceans 5 is a PADI Career Development and IDC dive resort. Oceans 5 is taking care of the environment and will support projects like this. There is only one planet like ours, we have to take care of it.

Understanding Reverse Diving Profiles

Reverse Diving Profiles In the world of scuba diving, safety is paramount. Every diver is trained to follow certain protocols and guidelines to minimize risks and ensure enjoyable experiences beneath the waves. One such guideline that has sparked debate and discussion over the years is the concept of reverse diving profiles. Reverse Diving Profiles Reevaluating Traditional Wisdom Traditionally, divers have been advised to start their dives deep and gradually ascend, a practice known as a forward profile. This approach is based on the principles of decompression theory and aims to reduce the likelihood of decompression sickness (DCS) by allowing the body to off-gas nitrogen slowly as the diver ascends. Insights from Research and Workshops However, with the advent of dive computers and advancements in dive research, the once strict adherence to forward profiles has come under scrutiny. Contrary to the expectations of many, data has emerged showing that divers engaging in reverse profiles

Each year we see a growth in the amount of happy new dive instructors. Being a PADI Course Director has its challenges. Next to evaluating, explaining different ways to organize courses, transferring knowledge and making candidates understand the importance of standards there is a big psychological aspect that can be quite draining.
