How to Perfect Your Weighting for Scuba Diving! (1st Basic Principle of Scuba Diving)

How to Calculate Buoyancy

Learn how to calculate buoyancy. Find how to calculate how to make objects neutrally buoyant, positively buoyant and negatively buoyant and the correct formula to use in calculating buoyancy.

Constants Used

METRIC

  • 1 litre of salt water weighs 1.03 kilograms
  • 1 litre of fresh water weighs 1 kilogram
  • Pressure increases by 1 atm every 10 metres of salt water
  • Pressure increases by 1 atm every 10.3 metres of fresh water Pressure changes per unit of salt water = 0.100 atm/m
  • Pressure changes per unit of fresh water = 0.097 atm/m

IMPERIAL

  • 1 cubic foot of salt water weighs 64 pounds
  • 1 cubic foot of fresh water weighs 62.4 pounds
  • Pressure increases by 1 atm every 33 feet of salt water
  • Pressure increases by 1 atm every 34 feet of fresh water
  • Pressure changes per unit of salt water = 0.445 psi/ft or 0.0303 atm/ft
  • Pressure changes per unit of fresh water = 0.432 psi/ft or 0.0294 atm/ft

Calculating Volume Changes

Learn how to calculate volume changes due to depth and as a result pressure. Learn what formula you should use to calculate the volume change.  (Boyle’s Law)

Constants you will use:

  • Seawater: Pressure change of 1 bar per 10 meters
  • Freshwater: Pressure change of 1 bar per 10.3 meters. 

Ambient pressure and gauge pressure.

The Effects of Breathing Oxygen Under Pressure

What are the effects of breathing oxygen under pressure? Find out how the partial pressure of the mix in the air can affect you when you dive. When you breathe oxygen under pressure you are possibly exposing yourself to the risk of Pulmonary Oygen Toxicity and Central Nervous System Oxygen Toxicity.

You must complete these correctly to advance, ensuring you’re ready for the hands-on diving experience. Start your SSI Advanced Wreck Specialty Course today and dive confidently!

OCEAN DIVES

We will go by boat out to a local wreck which is suitable for conducting the training.

You will learn techniques for diving on a wreck.

  • Gas management on wreck dives
  • Mapping a wreck
  • Specialist equipment for wreck diving. Light and reel use.
  • Laying a penetration ine
  • Making penetration dives in a wreck

You will have 4 dives in total after which you are a fully certified SSI Advanced Wreck Diver, assuming that you have met all of the other course performance requirements.

WHERE WILL I DIVE?

Your wreck dives will take place on the MV Alpha Funguo.

NOTES

Please note that the SSI Advanced Wreck Diving course is a no-decompression, limited penetration program designed for divers looking to safely explore wrecks with controlled entry points. This course is distinct from more advanced programs, such as TDI Advanced Wreck Diving. For those interested in Extended Range Wreck Diving or Extended Range Cavern Diving, we encourage you to contact us for more information on these advanced overhead environment courses.
