Management of Diving Injuries

Diving Injuries and Illnesses Due to the pressure changes and the aquatic environment, diving may cause diseases which are unique and different than non-divers. Examples of these: Decompression Sickness Arterial Gas Embolism Barotrauma Dysbaric Osteonecrosis Nitrogen Narcosis Oxygen Toxicity Hypoxia, Carbon Dioxide Toxicity and Breathing Gas Contamination Drowning Stings, Bites and Poisoning from Dangerous Marine Animal Decompression Illness During a dive, nitrogen from the compressed air that the diver breathes is dissolved into the blood and body tissues in accordance to Henry’s law. When the diver returns to the surface, nitrogen may come out of solution in the form of bubbles, due to the high gradient between the partial pressures of the nitrogen in the tissues and the environment.

BIKINI ATOLL en memoirs'

Dear All, The Kili/Bikini/Ejit Local Government Council met for several days during August, 2008, to consider its fiscal year 2009 budget.

Currently, the Council is engaged in negotiations with several entities which are interested in taking over the Bikini tourism operation. It is unknown how long these negotiations will last, or if they will prove fruitful, but, if there is an update regarding the tourism operation, it will be posted on this website. Bikini is allowing certain types of vessels to ...
