Treasurer’s Two Cents

It is with great sadness that I share with you that Tammera Badano, former dive club member and board member, has passed away unexpectedly. It happened while she was doing one of her favorite activities, scuba diving, in Maui. We will have a condolence card for everyone to sign at the May meeting. Club member Melanie Moreno renewed her membership last month. After Becca Boring’s gentle critique of member-submitted photos, she drew names for the monthly raffle, and President Mark and Matthew Vaughan received gift certificates to Aquarius and Backscatter dive shops.

Auxiliarist Crosses the Bar While Vacationing in Maui

It is with a very heavy heart and incredible sadness that we share information about the unexpected death of Tammera Badano. Mike and "T" were vacationing in Hawaii with their closest friends when something went wrong as she surfaced from a scuba dive, and resuscitation attempts were not successful. Tammera and Mike were Sea Otters club members and active divers and motorcyclists while living in Marina, and briefly served as dive club board members as well. They moved to Texas several years ago and soon became active in local organizations there. Tammera had been very active in the US Coast Guard Auxiliary District 11 Northern as a boat crew member, VSC examiner, Marine Dealer visitor, and in public affairs. She was an awesome instructor, and often taught First Aid/CPR with her husband Mike. As active paramedics, they brought great experience and knowledge to the course. This photo of Tammera was taken just a few days ago on Maui, enjoying life to the fullest with a broad smile on her face and her "partner in crime" Mike at her side. Rest in peace, T. We will miss you. Mary Kirkwood, Cecil Claspell, Walan Chang

One for the Record Books… The record for the deepest scuba dive belongs to Ahmed Gabr, who dived 1090 feet, 4.5 inches in September, 2014. The descent took only 14 minutes, but the ascent was over 13 ½ hours. The longest open-water dive was by Cem Karabay who, in 2016, stayed under for 142 hours, 42 minutes, 42 seconds. Karabay passed the time playing chess and soccer with his support team. He also holds the record for longest dive in a controlled environment (pool) – 192 hours.

May Meeting

Pacific Grove Hyperbaric Chamber

We hope that this is the only way that you will get to spend time in the PG chamber! There are very few hyperbaric chambers available to divers along the California coast, and thankfully, we have this one close by in case of emergency. Come see what it is like inside and learn from the volunteers that man it, how it is used to treat decompression illness. Please RSVP to the Facebook page or to a club officer so we can give an accurate count. We only get to do this every few years, so don’t miss it! We will meet at 6:30 to have some pizza, compliments of the club.

Past Meeting Recap Becca Boring from Backscatter came and helped us become more proficient photographers. By analyzing some of the club members’ pictures, she was able to highlight strategies for us to take better pictures underwater. Underwater photography is something many of the Sea Otters enjoy, so Becca’s professional insight was very much appreciated.

Safety First

Assessing Basic Vital Signs

Assessing vital signs ("vitals") is a key component of good first aid. It consists of taking a series of simple measurements that provide data about a body's functioning. These measurements can help reveal how sick or hurt a patient is and, when taken over time, whether he is getting better or worse. While the full meaning of these measurements might

5

elude the lay provider, a carefully documented series of vitals can be very helpful to the health-care professionals who will eventually take over the care of an injured person.

Vital signs can be helpful even to first aid providers with limited medical training. Sets of vitals that are outside normal ranges typically indicate the need for some treatment or possible evacuation to a higher level of care. As an example: Anxiety, elevated heart rate, elevated respiratory rate and pale, cool, clammy skin may indicate shock, a potentially life-threatening medical condition. Shock is relatively easy to address, but it can go unnoticed if vitals aren't monitored. Vital signs that move increasingly further from their normal range over time may indicate an even more urgent need for evacuation.

Time

To organize and keep track of your measurements, it is very important to document the time of day along with each set of vital signs. This allows you (or a subsequent caregiver) to make comparisons between sets of vitals and observe trends in the patient's condition. The frequency with which vitals are taken depends on the patient's condition. Seriously injured or ill patients should have their vital signs reassessed every few minutes, while hourly checks are reasonable for those who are stable.

Level of Responsiveness

An injured person's mental status, or level of responsiveness, is probably the most important vital sign. Since the brain has top priority in the body's distribution of resources, a decline in its status is especially important to recognize. To assess a patient's level of responsiveness, begin talking to the person. If the person is able to respond to you, ask him the following questions:

� What is your name? � Where are we? � What time is it (approximately)? � What happened?

Answers to these four questions allow you to gauge a patient's orientation to person, place, time and event. If the patient can answer all four appropriately, he would be considered "Alert and Oriented to Person, Place, Time and Event" or, more commonly, A+Ox4 (read "A and O by four"). In addition to quantifying the patient's level of responsiveness, it's also helpful to write down a qualifying term. Helpful qualifiers include "irritable," "anxious" or "combative." Words like these help round out your description of the patient's mental status.

In the event that an injured person is awake and can respond to you but does not know the answers to any of these questions, that person can be considered alert but disoriented.

A common scale used to describe a person's mental status is the AVPU scale. AVPU is an acronym that stands for alert, verbal, painful and unresponsive. The paragraph above

6

describes patients who have an A rating on this scale, but sometimes ill or injured people are not alert. If the person does not respond when you attempt to engage him in conversation, talk louder. In a loud voice, ask if he is OK.

If he responds to this elevation in volume, he can be considered responsive to verbal stimulation or V on the AVPU scale. The person doesn't have to respond verbally to be considered V; he may simply grimace or open his eyes, but any response to sound means he is a V. If the person does not respond to your verbal stimulus, you should assess his responsiveness to pain. It is important not to cause harm, but simply elicit a response. A good way to do this is to pinch the patient's tricep, just above the elbow. If this causes the patient to respond, by moving or groaning, for example, the patient is a P on the AVPU scale. Finally, a patient who does not respond to verbal or painful stimulation is considered unresponsive, or U, on the AVPU scale.

Pulse

A strong heartbeat is required to ensure an adequate supply of oxygenated blood to the body's tissues. To assess the pulse in an unconscious person (V, P or U on the AVPU scale), use the carotid artery in the neck. Place two of your fingers gently on the patient's trachea and slide them laterally. Do not reach across the trachea (use the near side), and do not try to assess on both sides of the neck at once.

You should feel the pulse in the carotid artery right next to the trachea. In a conscious patient (A on the AVPU scale), it is best to find the radial pulse on the wrist; this is less invasive.

Checking the radial pulse is less invasive when the patient is concious. To find the radial pulse, place two of your fingers where the base of the patient's thumb meets his wrist. The pulse will most likely be between that spot and the most prominent tendons of the wrist.

If you are having difficulty finding the heart rate, you may be pressing too hard or not pressing hard enough. Once you locate the pulse, count the number of beats in 15 seconds. Multiply this number by four, and you'll have the patient's heart rate in beats per minute.

In addition to the rate, it's important to document the rhythm and quality of the pulse. The rhythm will be either regular or irregular, and the quality will usually be described as strong or weak. Most healthy adults have a resting heart rate of between 60 and 100 beats per minute, regular and strong. People experience a natural elevation in their heart rate when performing exercise or in stressful situations. The heart beats faster to ensure sufficient oxygenation of tissues, allowing the body to respond quickly in emergencies. A person's pulse may be elevated shortly after an emergency, but this should stabilize in people who are not seriously injured.

Respiration

7

Since the body can survive for only a few minutes without oxygen, it's important to check the function of the respiratory system. If a person knows you are trying to count his respirations, he will probably change his rate of breathing and skew your measurement. To get around this, transition smoothly to counting respirations as soon as you are finished checking the pulse. Once you have counted the heart rate, shift your focus to the breathing. Leave your fingers on his wrist, but watch for his chest to rise. If you're unable to detect respirations by watching the chest, it might be helpful to watch the abdomen or the shoulders instead. Folds of the patient's clothing might also aid your observation of respirations.

Since respirations are less frequent than heartbeats, count respirations for 30 seconds, then double the number to achieve an accurate result. As with pulse, measuring the rhythm and quality of respirations is important. Rhythm will be either regular or irregular. Words like "unlabored," "gasping," "wheezing" or "labored" are used to describe the quality of respirations. An adult at rest typically breathes between 12 and 18 times per minute, regular and unlabored.

Skin

Skin is the body's largest organ, and it can be an excellent window into the body's functioning. If the skin is pale, cool and clammy, this is a sign that the body's resources (i.e., blood) are being diverted to more vital organs. When assessing the skin, you should take note of three different characteristics: color, temperature and moisture.

Skin color, of course, varies widely among individuals, but there are non-pigmented areas of the body where all humans are pink. The most accessible of these places is the inside of the bottom lip. Take a look and note whether the color is indeed pink or some other color. It might be pale if the person is cold, blue if he is hypoxic, red if he is hot or even yellow if he is suffering from some illness. Temperature and moisture of the skin are best assessed on the abdomen. These are generally more consistent there than on the hands or the face. The abdomen should be warm and dry, so if it's cool, cold, hot or moist, that is especially important to document.

Level of responsiveness, pulse, respirations and skin condition are by no means the only vital signs, but they are important and relatively easy to assess. The only equipment necessary to measure these is a watch, a pen and paper. Other vital signs include blood pressure, lung sounds, pupils and body temperature. Though training, experience or equipment may limit your ability to care for an injured buddy in a remote environment, assessing basic vitals is something just about anybody can do to help.

Scheduled Club Dives

May 25th, Saturday, 8:30 a.m.* Club Dive, Metridium Fields, Monterey

Location: Foam St. and Cannery Row, Monterey. Parking: Meters and pay parking ($8 for all-day) Experience Level: Advanced due to distance from shore Depth: 35-60ft Entry: Sandy beach with scattered rocks

Have you ever wondered why this was here and what it means? If you’d like to know the story, click this. This history is relevant to us because, unlike much of the history on Cannery Row, the remnants of those pipes are still available underwater and, for our night dive in July, we are going to find them and return to a dive site which Dave Ramsey taught me how to dive at the beginning of my diving career, the Metridium Fields off the Breakwater Jetty.

While the Metridium Fields are located at the same beach as the often crowded breakwater, the diving experience is a world away.

Here you’ll find large rocky reefs covered with 2-foot tall giant metridium anemones. While these are reason enough to visit the area, you’ll also see a host of nudibranchs including very large sea lemons, clown dorids, and of course hermissendas. Keep your eyes open for juvenile wolf eels, and even the occasional swell shark hiding inside the rocks.

Swim out on the same side of the beach. Swim out until you line up the backs of the bathroom and the deli with the great tri-tip sandwiches. For the other direction, line yourself up with the left side of backscatter (the building with the big whale on the side). Drop down there and go due north. This should bring you to the big pipe pretty quickly, and you can either follow it out and go north on the end, or you can keep going N and you should find some. Thanks to the following public websites for sharing their information on a classic Monterey dive site which we, as a club, have not dived in years – come and join us!

After Work Dive, June 14th, 6:30 p.m. Coral Street, Pacific Grove

Coral St. is a great location for a night dive. At night the fish, attracted by our dive lights, come out of their usual hidey-holes. This dive is a fish enthusiast’s delight as we typically see cabezon, lingcod, and rockfish. I have also found it to be a wonderful spot to get up close and personal with purple sea urchins. Who doesn’t love those?! We will meet at the corner of Coral and Ocean View at 6:00 p.m. to check out conditions and do a briefing. After that, we will don our gear and make our way out into the protected cove. This is not a difficult dive, but there are some rocks in close to be avoided. We have had great success here at night and I think this is a great time to come out and dive it. General Guidelines for After Work & Night Dives: To participate in after work dives or night dives, divers must carry a minimum of two lights, one main light and one marker light (usuallyattached to the tank valve). The dive must be terminated if a person experiences a malfunction of his/her light(s). That is why carrying three lights is strongly recommended so that dive team can continue the dive if one diver’s light ceases to function. For everyone’s diving pleasure, the club would like to thank all participants for adhering to these recommendations for club dives.

Club Dive, North Monastery, Saturday, April, 27

North Monastery is a cool dive site. And, truly, that was never more apparent than during our monthly Club Dive on April. While topside conditions weren’t tranquil, the vast plethora of parked cars spoke volumes about the quality of the conditions divers had been discovering during dives on the rich, kelp-covered rocks of North Monastery. But…I digress. When bringing up the topic of that site, the usual response from many is a somewhat-agape expression, often-followed by some slightly-raspy words expressing appreciation for ADRENALIN-RUSH of EXTREME DEPTH. Which…hey, I get it.

10

The first time I dove North Monastery I, of course, went down to 100+ feet, enjoyed seeing the edge of the canyon, then turned right and busied myself with the abundant reef structure, just to the right of THE ABYSS. And, well…that’s what makes North Monastery cool. If divers want to feel like adrenalin junkies, or just want to see the edge of the great wall (well, it’s actually more of a slope), it’s an

easy swim off the beach. But, once the urge to go down to 100+ feet has been satisfied, there’s so much to see at shallower depths. And, now that my digression is over, all of this was on my mind as I arrived at the site, proceeded to park the car, and met up with

the rest of the crew. Once President Mark and myself had found everyone, we proceeded to don our gear, enter the water - and discovered why all of the crowds had turned out this morning.

While the entrance into the water did require proper timing between the waves, surge was next to non-existent and the water, while being obscured by some particulate matter, was easily clear enough to reveal the striking underwater structure of the dive site.

Our team kept the rocky formations to our right, enjoying a lazy winding dive over, under and around the lush, verdant kelp. We enjoyed the site of the well-fed fish, and a well-fed harbor seal who, presumably, was looking to fatten himself just a little bit more – a sight we were truly hoping to witness before our tanks ran low or our bottom time expired. Sadly, I didn’t the seal, but the folks following me had some great shots of a very friendly denizen who, likely, was hoping we’d rustle a few fish loose during our dive. Regardless, we wrapped up our adventure, exited the water, crawled up the

11

beach and shared the experience of diving one of the most interesting, and yes, cool dive sites in California with one another, once we’d removed our wet dive gear. If you weren’t there, you missed a good one. Corey Penrose, Dive Coordinator

After-Work Dive, Wharf II, Friday, May 10 Tom Hubbard, Rick Dante, and I assembled at the wharf in Monterey to see what we could find in the murky depths beneath. Safety Officer Randy Phares and MBSO President Mark Holman came by for the safety briefing and to assist us in donning our gear and zipping our zippers. Activities Director Scott McReynolds

acted as dive marshal and walked the dock watching for our bubbles and any signs of distress. He also was a good critter spotter…

We carefully swam out under the overhang to avoid any conflicts with the fisherman above and submerged where the wharf opens up to the outer harbor. Although the sky was still light when we completed the dive, once under the deck and amongst the pilings it was quite dark and our strong lights came in handy. Visibility was a bit over ten feet, and it was hard to spot each other in the gloom, but Tom’s canary yellow tank and fins made it easy to find him. I can’t say that we saw any incredible critters, or even that we found any cool junk, as in past dives, but it was a lot of fun to creep around the forest of pilings and see what we could find. It looked like an octopus’s garden with many opened mussel shells lying about, but we didn’t see any cephalopods. We really need to get those great critter spotters out on these dives with us! We did see a lot of nudibranchs, and decorator crabs. And little fish. Trillions of little to almost microscopically tiny fish.

12

My temperature gauge said 62F, but it is often off. The water did feel warm. However, after 40 minutes of barely creeping along, we decided to head back. Rick and I went to the pub for dinner and checked out the pics he took with his iPhone, some of which are

included below.
