Dr. Anthony Amoroso is an emergency medicine physician who is qualified to provide trauma care. In addition, he is the founder and owner of Brazos Valley Charting, a medical transcription company. Outside of work, Dr. Anthony Amoroso enjoys scuba diving.
Scuba divers use varying amounts of air depending on their metabolism and body size. However, divers can conserve air by:
- Streamlining equipment
The equipment divers wear creates drag and slows them down, forcing them to expend more energy and air. When possible, divers should streamline their equipment so that it sits closer to the body and produces less drag in the water.
- Getting plenty of rest
Being tired on the day of a dive strains the body and causes a greater consumption of air. For this reason, divers should make sure they get enough rest the night before a dive.
- Using fins
Wearing fins makes a noticeable difference in the way divers move through the water. If possible, divers should purchase quality fins that help them move efficiently and easily.
