Shallow Water Blackout
permalink
Hello all

I have been diving for a few years and have not had any real problems, apert from the odd occasion whenthere was some difficulty experienced in eqalising due to colds etc. However, i have recently been hearing a great deal about Shallow Water Blackout (SWB), and it seems very serious, basically, what I'm seeking is information on ways of minimising the risk.

any advice or comments wellcome

kindest regards

Mark
