A winner of the American Medical Association Physician Recognition Award, Dr. Ezekiel Akande is a pain management doctor who completed a fellowship at Tufts University. Outside of his current role as the medical director and CEO of Somerset Regional Pain Center in Somerset, Kentucky, Dr. Ezekiel Akande enjoys deep sea diving.
Deep sea diving is an advanced form of underwater diving that requires equipment and specialized training. The term generally means diving to a depth of more than 98 feet. However, the exact definition can vary depending on the field of practice, which includes recreational, technical, and professional diving in addition to other certifications. Regardless, special equipment, such as a rebreather, is needed.
A rebreather assists with recycling oxygen by absorbing carbon dioxide that is exhaled by a person. Also knows as a closed circuit underwater apparatus, closed circuit rebreather, or semi-closed rebreather, a rebreather is required to complete deep dives. Modern versions of rebreathers stem from an invention in 1878, but the origins of the device go back as far as the 1600s to early submersibles.
