I-SWBA® inikezela ngokhuseleko lokuphefumla kumphezulu wamanzi kwiingcali zokuhlangula amanzi ezikhukula kunye neendlela zokubalekela izithuthi eziphantsi kwamanzi.

Ngo-1942, uJacques-Yves Cousteau kunye no-Émile Gagnan bayila i-Self-Contained Underwater Breathing Apparatus (SCUBA) yokuqala ethembekileyo nenempumelelo kwezorhwebo. I-Aqua-Lung. Ngo-1945, iScott Aviation yasebenza kunye neSebe lezoMlilo laseNew York ukuqalisa ukwamkelwa kokuqala okubanzi kwe AirPac, IsiXhobo esiziPhetheyo sokuphefumla (SCBA) sokucima umlilo.

Nangona iindlela zokuhlangula ezikhawulezayo zamanzi zaqala ukuvela kwi-1970s, ukuncitshiswa komngcipheko osongela ukhuseleko lomhlanguli kugxininise ekuphuculeni ngophuhliso lweZixhobo zoMntu zokuFlotha (PFDs). Nangona kunjalo, nangona ii-PFDs zinamandla kakhulu, ukurhaxwa kuyenzeka ngokunqwenela kancinci njenge itispuni yamanzi. Ekuphela kwendlela eqinisekileyo yokuthintela ukurhaxwa kukuthintela ukulangazelela amanzi, kwaye oko kunokwenziwa kuphela ngokhuseleko lokuphefumla.

Njengoko i-SCUBA kunye ne-SCBA zihlala zinkulu kwaye zinzima, azifanelekanga ukuhlangula amanzi ngokukhawuleza. Ngo-2022, uMlawuli we-PSI uGqr Steve Glassey, i IPSQA I-Swift Water Rescue Assessor, iqalise iimvavanyo zokubuyisela iiNkqubo zokuPhumla ngokuNgxamisekileyo (EBS) kwimisebenzi yokuhlangula ekhawulezayo yamanzi, eyathi yaqulunqwa "Isixhobo sokuphefumla saManzi aSwift" okanye i-SWBA. I-EBS ziinkqubo ezincinci ze-SCUBA ezisetyenziswa ngabasebenzi beenqwelomoya ukubaleka kwinqwelomoya ephantsi emanzini. Zikwasetyenziselwa ukuhamba ngeenqanawa nakwezinye iimeko zaselwandle ukubaleka iinqanawa ezizikayo okanye ezibhukuqekileyo. Nangona kunjalo, akukho namnye wemigangatho elawula i-EBS ifanelekile ukuhlangulwa kwamanzi ngokukhawuleza.

UGq. Glassey, okwangu I-PADI yoKhuseleko loLuntu iDiver, isebenze neengcali zeshishini kunye namagqwetha ukuphuhlisa ukufikelela okuvulelekileyo ISikhokelo sokuZiqhelanisa esiLungileyo-Isixhobo sokuphefumla saManzi aSwift kwaye yenza isiqinisekiso se-intanethi se-SWBA kuphela sehlabathi ukuqinisekiswa kwexesha lokwenyani kwi-intanethi kwabo sele bephethe iziqinisekiso zohlangulo olukhawulezayo lwamanzi kunye neziqinisekiso zokuntywila. I-SWBA ibe luphawu lokuthengisa olubhalisiweyo ngo-2023 kwaye inokusetyenziswa kuphela ngemvume. Ukusebenzisa eyenziwe ngokwesiqhelo Inkqubo yokuxhoma ye-SWBA, iimveliso ze-SWBA ezivunyiweyo zohlobo zinokufakwa kuluhlu lwee-PFD ukuze kusebenze ukusetyenziswa kwe-EBS kumanzi akhawulezayo.

Ngaphantsi kweSikhokelo sokuSebenza esiLungileyo - Izixhobo zokuphefumula zamanzi ezi-Swift, abaqhubi kufuneka baqinisekiswe. Unokuqinisekisa ukuba umntu unguMsebenzi oqinisekisiweyo we-SWBA Apha. Isiqinisekiso sokusebenzisa i-SWBA phantsi kweSikhokelo sidinga ukugqityezelwa kwezonyango zokuntywila, ukuqinisekiswa kwegcisa elaziwayo lokuhlangula amanzi akhawulezayo kunye nenkcazi ephantsi egadiweyo yokwahlukana kunye nokuphumelela uviwo. Ukusebenza kwe-SWBA ngaphandle kwesiqinisekiso kunokukhokelela kukwenzakala okumandundu okanye ukufa.
