Abstract

This study aimed to suggest education direction for diving safety through investigating actual condition to diving safety before and during scuba diving. The study subjects were 227 scuba divers. Data were collected from September 21, 2012 to August 16, 2013. The collected data were analyzed using SPSS 21.0. The results were as follows. Many higher level divers didn't obey regulations: 'alcohol drinking', 'warming-up exercise', 'to dive even when he/she suffers from respiratory disease' before scuba diving. Many lower level divers didn't obey regulations: 'to stop diving under abnormal physical condition', 'to do safety stop during ascending time', 'to check during ascending time', 'to know ascending and descending speed per minute', 'to use an alpha flag or buoy' during scuba diving. In conclusion, it is necessary to implement a discriminative safety education and to check actual condition to diving safety periodically in consideration of duration and level of diving.

본 연구는 스쿠버 다이버의 특성에 따른 다이빙 활동 전과 활동 중 안전 준수 실태를 파악하여, 안전교육의 방향을 제시하고자 시도하였다. 2012년 9월 21일부터 2013년 8월 16일까지 스쿠버 다이버 227명을 대상으로 동의를 받은 후 설문조사를 시행하였다. 자료 분석은 SPSS PC/21.0을 이용하여 기술통계와 $X^2$-test로 분석하였다. 연구 결과, 다이빙 활동 전 안전준수 항목 중 '음주', '준비 운동 여부', '호흡기 질병 시 다이빙 여부'의 항목은 주로 경력 또는 자격 수준이 높은 경우 잘 지켜지지 않고 있었다. 반면에, 다이빙 활동 중 안전 준수 항목 중 '신체 이상 시 중단 여부', '상승 시 안전 정지 여부', '상승시 수면과 주변 확인 여부' '분당 상승 및 하강 속도 인지 여부', '알파 깃발 또는 부표 사용 여부'의 항목은 주로 경력 또는 자격 수준이 낮은 경우 잘 지켜지지 않고 있었다. 따라서 스쿠버 다이버들의 안전사고 예방을 위해 다이빙 경력과 수준을 고려한 차별적이고 정기적인 교육과 점검이 필요하다.
