Dive Into Hydration: The Science Behind Keeping Quenched
This talk explores the critical role of hydration in diving safety and physiological resilience. Dehydration increases the risk of DCS, impairs thermoregulation, and affects cognitive and physical performance underwater. We’ll examine fluid balance challenges unique to divers, including immersion diuresis and dry gas breathing, and discuss evidence-based hydration strategies before, during, and after dives.
