ForensisGroup scuba diving equipment expert witnesses have many years of experience in diver training and scuba equipment. This runs the spectrum from the basic mask, snorkel, and fins… to the most technical aspects of scuba equipment like buoyancy control devices (BCD), regulators, tanks, submersible pressure gauges (SPG), weight systems, Closed-Circuit Rebreathers (CCRs), Semi-closed rebreathers (SCRs), dive computers, dive watches, dive lights, alternate air sources, along with wetsuits and dry suits.
Generally, there are four categories for dive equipment, and some gear fits in all categories: tropical scuba equipment is for diving in warm (24ºC/75ºF and up), clear water; temperate scuba equipment is designed for diving in moderate temperature (cooler than 24ºC/75ºF) water; cold-water scuba equipment is to be used for SCUBA diving in water cooler than15ºC/60ºF; and technical diving scuba equipment is used by very experienced, highly trained divers to visit environments beyond the normal limits of recreational diving.
Our scuba diving expert witnesses’ expertise includes diving equipment design and application, equipment training, equipment standards, equipment manufacturing, and testing.
Their expert witness experience includes SCUBA related fatalities, diving equipment failures, equipment rental, as well as diving equipment investigation. They consult on issues of National Standards development for commercial diving (ANSI / ACDE-01-2009), hyperbaric diving first aid, and accident management.
