Two recent studies by hyperbaric researchers, among them DAN Europe\u2019s own Costantino Balestra, are contributing to a small but growing trove of data.<\/em><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"746\">Unlike open circuit divers, who are limited to whatever fixed gas blends they are carrying in their cylinders, closed circuit rebreather (CCR) divers have the ability to manage the composition of their breathing gas during the dive. They use this ability to maintain an optimal partial pressure of oxygen (PO<sub data-renderer-mark=\"true\">2<\/sub>) and thereby minimise their inert gas loading. As a result, using a CCR enables shorter decompression times when compared to open circuit scuba.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"1202\">\u2028In addition, being on a CCR drastically reduces the amount of gas a diver uses \u2013 an important factor considering the difficulty and cost of obtaining helium in many regions of the world. All these factors have contributed to making the shift from open circuit to CCR an important trend in technical diving over the past two decades. New manufacturers of rebreathers and electronic controllers have entered the market, CCR technology is maturing and becoming more reliable, and deep CCR dives are becoming more common.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"1722\">However, there is a catch. Our knowledge of decompression and other physiological aspects of immersion relies heavily on data from a very large number of dives, the vast majority of which is relatively shallow. At depths down to 50 metres, we have a pretty accurate idea what works and what doesn\u2019t for the average person. With increasing depth however, data becomes more scarce. Although there is a solid body of research from commercial and saturation diving to great depths, the conditions under which these dives are conducted are very different from the \u201cbounce\u201d (i.e., surface-to-surface) dives performed by technical divers, so that the insights from this research have only limited applicability.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2428\">The decisions on decompression procedures made by deep technical and CCR divers are somewhat speculative because the decompression algorithms they use are validated only for lesser depths.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2428\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-dib fr-draggable\" style=\"width: auto;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/imgimport\/1102\/reb-1500.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-renderer-start-pos=\"2623\">Dehydration, reduced lung function, unpredictable bubbles<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"2682\">In an effort to change this unfortunate situation, two physiological studies published in 2021 are contributing to a small but growing body of knowledge. The<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00421-021-04856-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<u data-renderer-mark=\"true\">first study<\/u><\/a> was conducted during an expedition to Tahiti, whose primary objective was the collection of samples from recently discovered coral reefs in the mesophotic zone at depths of 90 and 120 metres. The divers were physically fit men, most of them in their 30s, with extensive experience. The total number of dives was 16. Researchers measured a range of physiological parameters, including spirometry (lung performance), body mass (as an indicator of hydration), hematocrit, short-term heart rate variability (HRV), and critical flicker fusion frequency (CFFF) as a potential indicator of cognitive impairment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3458\">The researchers main findings were that there was a considerable loss of body mass due to dehydration \u2013 a decrease by 3.5 kg, from 73.5 to 70.0 kg, for the median \u2013 as well as a significant reduction in lung function immediately after diving, from which the divers eventually recovered. While CFFF is still being<a href=\"https:\/\/alertdiver.eu\/en_US\/articles\/measuring-inert-gas-narcosis\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<u data-renderer-mark=\"true\">evaluated as an indicator of cognitive performance<\/u><\/a>, the fact that no change was observed is consistent with our understanding of the use of helium to reduce narcosis and the excitatory effects of breathing hyperbaric oxygen.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"3997\">In the<a href=\"https:\/\/link.springer.com\/article\/10.1007\/s00421-021-04798-y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">\u00a0<u data-renderer-mark=\"true\">second study<\/u><\/a>, researchers accompanied a wreck diving expedition to the Red Sea, with dives to depths of 64, 97, and 123 metres. Albeit again all male, the group of divers was more diverse than the first in terms of age, body composition, and physical fitness. The focus of this study was on decompression stress, measured by a recording of venous gas emboli (VGE), or bubbles, using cardiac and subclavian Doppler echography, conducted 30 and 60 minutes after surfacing.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"4476\">Costantino \u2018Tino\u2019 Balestra is a professor of physiology at the Haute \u00c9cole de Bruxelles-Brabant, as well as DAN Europe\u2019s VP of Research and Education. He was a member of both research teams and kind enough to share some of his insights from the two studies with<em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">\u00a0Alert Diver<\/em>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"4752\">\u201cOne thing that is becoming clear to us is that it is very difficult to predict an individual diver\u2019s VGE counts based on their saturation and desaturation, even if you take factors like age, fitness, and BMI into account,\u201d Balestra explained. \u00a0\u201cIn some people, we are seeing bubbles where there shouldn\u2019t be any. Other people don\u2019t seem to bubble much even though they dive relatively aggressive profiles. Individual factors appear to play a large role.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"5209\">With regard to the Tahiti study, Balestra said: \u201cOur key findings here were the temporary reduction of respiratory function and the dehydration after very deep dives. We can assume that these dives put a significant amount of strain on the body of the divers.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"5209\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"fr-dib fr-draggable\" style=\"width: auto;\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/imgimport\/1102\/reb2-1500.png\" \/><\/p>\n<h3 data-renderer-start-pos=\"5476\">Human subjects and research ethics<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"5512\">Conducting research into deep CCR diving has a number of challenges. \u201cDeep CCR dives are not very common, and they tend to take place far away from university laboratories. Opportunities for research are rare, and we are charting new territory here,\u201d Balestra \u00a0said. \u201cAnd there are other limitations. As a researcher, I can observe and take measurements, but I can\u2019t tell people how to dive. That would be very unethical. Deep CCR diving is risky, people are putting their bodies on the line, and it has to be one hundred percent their own decision.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 data-renderer-start-pos=\"6064\">Outlook, and a word of advice<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6095\">There\u2019s been a clear trend toward the increased use of rebreathers for deep diving, and Balestra believes this trend won\u2019t go away any time soon. \u201cThere are so many exciting things to see, and people are fascinated by the technology,\u201d he said. However, when asked what advice he would give to someone who is considering getting into this kind of diving, he urges caution. \u201cFirst you should ask yourself, how many dives will I do per year? CCRs are far more complex to use than open circuit equipment, and it takes a lot of practice just to keep your skills sharp. In addition, a rebreather is a very expensive machine. If you do less than fifty dives per year, then I doubt it\u2019s worth it, in terms of both risk and cost.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: left;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6818\">And for those who decide to take the plunge?<\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6864\">\u201cFrom a hyperbaric science standpoint: Don\u2019t be too certain that your decompression protocol will keep you safe from DCS. There is more to it than that. What you do in your daily life and even immediately before diving may be as important as your choice of gradient factors. There is some interesting new research in that direction, and it applies not only to people who go to 120 metres. Move. Get some exercise. Here at DAN Europe, we are seeing a recent uptick in DCS incidence that we believe is related to people leading more sedentary lifestyles during the pandemic.\u201d<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"6864\">\n<hr \/>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"15356\">\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"15356\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">References<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"15368\">Dugrenot, E., Balestra, C., Gouin, E. <em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">et al.<\/em> P<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00421-021-04798-y\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">hysiological effects of mixed-gas deep sea dives using a closed-circuit rebreather: a field pilot study<\/a>. <em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Eur J Appl Physiol<\/em>\u00a0<strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">121,\u00a0<\/strong>3323\u20133331 (2021).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"15562\">Balestra, C., Guerrero, F., Theunissen, S. <em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">et al.<\/em>\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1007\/s00421-021-04856-5\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Physiology of repeated mixed gas 100-m wreck dives using a closed-circuit rebreather: a field bubble study<\/a>. <em data-renderer-mark=\"true\">Eur J Appl Physiol<\/em>\u00a0<strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\">122,\u00a0<\/strong>515\u2013522 (2022).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"15562\">\n<hr \/>\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"16316\">\n<p data-renderer-start-pos=\"16316\"><strong data-renderer-mark=\"true\"><span style=\"font-size: 18px;\">About the author<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\" data-renderer-start-pos=\"16334\">Tim Bl\u00f6meke teaches recreational and technical diving in Taiwan and the Philippines.
