Y-40® The Deep Joy

Via Cataio, 42, 35036 Montegrotto Terme, Italia

The ticket includes entry into thermal water at Y-40® for divers with a technical license, to partecipate to a technical dive with bibo or rebreather.

Simon Mitchell is a New Zealand physician specializing in hyperbaric medicine and anesthesiology. Mitchell received a Ph.D. for his work on neuroprotection from embolic brain injury, and has published numerous research and review articles in the diving medical literature. Mitchell is an author and avid technical diver. He wrote two chapters of the latest edition of Bennett and Elliott's Physiology and Medicine of Diving, and co-authored the dive textbook Deeper Into Diving with John Lippmann and co-authored the chapter on Diving and Hyperbaric Medicine in Harrison's Principles of Internal. Mitchell began diving in 1972 and his diving primarily involves the use of rebreathers to explore wrecks at extreme depths.

One dive session is available per each person and the entrances start at 5:30pm for 4 divers at a time. The proposed profile for technical diving is limited to 42m with a maximum bottom time: 15 min. For organizational reasons we do not propose long deep stop dive, with the intention of allowing the largest number of divers to be able to dive by personally meeting prof. Simon Mitchell by the pool, in the water or in the hall of Y-40®. Furthermore, diving is a part of the event which includes the conference at 8:00pm and dinner at the Miravalle Restaurant, near to Y-40®, at 9:00pm with prof. Simon Mitchell.

During the session in the thermal water of Y-40® you can experience a tec dive in a confined environment which allows you to pay particular attention to your diving technique; you can invite your friends who will be able to see you from the windows and underwater tunnel, you will have the opportunity to personally meet prof. Simon Mitchell.

The dive must be carried out within a few parameters:
Each diver must bring bibo and one or two stage decos or rebreathers with stage tank and the complete equipment for this type of dive, respecting the indications of your didactics.

Mix Deco; Ean 50
Mix Deco; 100% oxygen (if enabled)

Run time:
At minute 00 start of the dive reaching -42m for 15 minutes;
At minute 18 (without stops in the cylinder, but only ascending), you position yourself on the platform at 12 m, allowing the next group to carry out the deep dive without a hitch
