Difference between Oxygen and Underwater diving

Oxygen vs. Underwater diving

Oxygen is a chemical element with symbol O and atomic number 8. Underwater diving, as a human activity, is the practice of descending below the water's surface to interact with the environment.

Similarities between Oxygen and Underwater diving

Oxygen and Underwater diving have 15 things in common (in Unionpedia): Ambient pressure, Atmospheric diving suit, Bohr effect, Breathing gas, Decompression (diving), Decompression sickness, Diving chamber, Hyperbaric medicine, Hypoxia (medical), Nitrogen, Oxygen therapy, Oxygen toxicity, Respiration (physiology), Scuba diving, Surface-supplied diving.

Ambient pressure

The ambient pressure on an object is the pressure of the surrounding medium, such as a gas or liquid, in contact with the object.

Atmospheric diving suit

An atmospheric diving suit (ADS) is a small one-person articulated anthropomorphic submersible which resembles a suit of armour, with elaborate pressure joints to allow articulation while maintaining an internal pressure of one atmosphere.

Bohr effect

The Bohr effect is a physiological phenomenon first described in 1904 by the Danish physiologist Christian Bohr: hemoglobin's oxygen binding affinity (see Oxygen–haemoglobin dissociation curve) is inversely related both to acidity and to the concentration of carbon dioxide.

Breathing gas

A breathing gas is a mixture of gaseous chemical elements and compounds used for respiration.

Decompression (diving)

The decompression of a diver is the reduction in ambient pressure experienced during ascent from depth.

Decompression sickness

Decompression sickness (DCS; also known as divers' disease, the bends, aerobullosis, or caisson disease) describes a condition arising from dissolved gases coming out of solution into bubbles inside the body on depressurisation.

Diving chamber

A diving chamber is a vessel for human occupation, which may have an entrance that can be sealed to hold an internal pressure significantly higher than ambient pressure, a pressurised gas system to control the internal pressure, and a supply of breathing gas for the occupants.

Hyperbaric medicine

Hyperbaric medicine is medical treatment in which an ambient pressure greater than sea level atmospheric pressure is a necessary component.

Hypoxia (medical)

Hypoxia is a condition in which the body or a region of the body is deprived of adequate oxygen supply at the tissue level.

Oxygen therapy

Oxygen therapy, also known as supplemental oxygen, is the use of oxygen as a medical treatment.

Oxygen toxicity

Oxygen toxicity is a condition resulting from the harmful effects of breathing molecular oxygen at increased partial pressures.

Respiration (physiology)

In physiology, respiration is defined as the movement of oxygen from the outside environment to the cells within tissues, and the transport of carbon dioxide in the opposite direction.

Scuba diving

Scuba diving is a mode of underwater diving where the diver uses a self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) which is completely independent of surface supply, to breathe underwater.

Surface-supplied diving

Surface-supplied diving is diving using equipment supplied with breathing gas using a diver's umbilical from the surface, either from the shore or from a diving support vessel, sometimes indirectly via a diving bell.

Oxygen and Underwater diving Comparison

Oxygen has 453 relations, while Underwater diving has 211. As they have in common 15, the Jaccard index is 2.26% = 15 / (453 + 211).
