Scuba Diving Rental Accident Attorney

Scuba diving is a pastime that many people enjoy. Peering into clear waters to view coral reefs and marine wildlife is a chance of a lifetime, and scuba diving can take you there fast. But when people use scuba diving rental equipment, they are really putting their own lives at risk.

The equipment from a scuba diving rental shop needs to be maintained to the highest standards. Anything lower than this high standard can cause someone renting the scuba diving rental equipment to lose his or her life, or be seriously injured as a result of negligence. Let’s first review what can go wrong with scuba diving rental accidents.

What Happens to Scuba Tanks Underwater?

As humans, we fundamentally do not live comfortably underwater the way our marine mammal friends do. We need support from oxygen to go underwater to enjoy being immersed into marine environments. A scuba tank is actually a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (SCUBA), that allows us to breathe oxygen and stay longer underwater to enjoy the views. Without a scuba tank, we can’t stay underwater that long. Therefore, if a person has gone on a dive to a great depth and the tank malfunctions, there will be serious repercussions as to the effect on that individual’s safety based on the broken, defective or malfunctioning air supply from the scuba tank.

Scuba Tanks Are Complex Machines, Prone to Accidents When Not Fully Maintained

If you are using a scuba tank to dive into deep waters, then your lifeline is the scuba tank itself. It is the only way you can dive underwater, and the only way you can come safely back up to dry land. The scuba tank uses metal tanks and compressed air to give you air underwater. This air is managed through a regulator, and it works to reduce the tank pressure into a mixture of breathable air while you are diving.

There is a hose that carries that life-giving air to your mouth while you are on a dive. As you inhale the scuba tank air, it sustains your body to keep exploring underwater. You will naturally exhale the air out into the water, and it is seen as tiny bubbles that come from you during your dive. There is other essential equipment too, such as the dive mask, wetsuit and the use of buoyancy control devices, but the most important equipment to sustain life underwater is the dive tank.

Scuba Tanks Carry Different Types of Breathable Oxygen Gas During a Deep Dive

Scuba tanks are an essential part of an underwater dive, as it is the only way to breathe underwater. Most people don’t realize that the scuba tank will usually be filled with a variety of breathable gases, and this needs to be filled by someone who knows how to do this type of scuba tank maintenance. For example, scuba gas cylinders can be filled with compressed air with a nitrogen and oxygen mix, or with Nitrox, which is an oxygen-enriched nitrogen and oxygen mix of gases.

The air is put into aluminum cylinders that are carried by the diver during the deep dives. The regulator allows the cylinder air to be given to the diver in specific pressurized sections or stages. The regulator must be in perfect working order, or the diver can risk serious injury or death as a result of any malfunction at this stage of the equipment. The regulator puts high-pressure air into a middle type of pressure, then that pressurized air goes into breathable air that goes into your mouth directly during the dive. If the regulator at any point is malfunctioning, then the ability to pass breathable air to the diver is compromised, and usually with disastrous consequences.
