In response to requests for clarification, from members in the Far East and Australasia, the following guidance is issued for SCUBA cylinders and valves that utilise the ¾" NPSM thread form.
ASSET recommends that technicians, involved in the assembly and maintenance of SCUBA cylinders and their valves, use the appropriate, calibrated, thread gauges as a means to ensure that they are both within tolerances and compatible with each other. Additionally, the technician should have received training in their use, as provided in the ASSET Dive Industry Technician’s and Cylinder Tester’s Courses and Manuals.
How to Avoid Isobaric Counter diffusion hits during trimix decompression
Isobaric Counter Diffusion triggered by breathing gas changes is predominantly a problem when carrying out Trimix dives that are deep enough and long enough to generate formal decompression stops that require the use of a hypoxic Trimix. An analysis program embodying these concepts to identify known unsafe ICD gas switching practices and unsafe decompression is made availableDecompression trends for extreme dive planning
Deriving the underlying laws and predictive mathematics for diving physiology, safe decompression, Oxygen toxicity tolerance, narcosis, and HPNS (High Pressure Nervous Syndrome) have challenged the minds of the worlds brightest scientists. That many of the victims of incorrect decompression fail to survive extreme decompression and be part of the observable phenomenon database further hampers progress. As a first topic in this series of articles we will take a more in depth look at decompression and how to survice it's more extreme effects.

Scuba diving is not a sport you want to try without the proper equipment and training, however. can be dangerous if you are not aware of problems that may arise and how to handle them. The trick is to find good lessons, which shouldn’t be too hard if you know where to look.
If you are lucky enough to live around a large body of water, you may have no trouble whatsoever. Trained and certified professionals should be easy to find and should be able to instruct you on the local waters. This gives you an appreciation for the diving pleasures that are available locally.
If you do not live near bodies of water, another possibility is taking the lessons as part of a vacation package. The disadvantage to this might be that the training you will receive is less comprehensive -- perhaps only relevant to the vacation itself, local threats, etc. Still, the advantages are wonderful -- it could be the perfect way to experience your first time and you may not have to purchase all of the expensive equipment. You will have a glorious time without the commitment! Decide later if you want to take on as a regular sport.
Another possibility is looking for a local community group or YMCA. They will often sponsor professionals to teach seminars and classes. Don’t let the opportunity go by if a scuba diving class in your community becomes available, even if it is a refresher course.
