Battery-powered personal fans have been a life-saver for our diving team; since all of us don’t have the luxury of a cooling plan in the good outdoors, all of us use fans to cool ourselves off, to dispel the humidity clouding our bodies, & to keep us comfortable when all of us don’t have the luxury of current a/c technology.
I’ve been a cave diver for over twenty years, & our favorite caves to explore are in Mexico. Summer is an ideal time to explore Mexican cave systems, since the water levels are most favorable during the rainy season. But, between the constantly hot temperature & the eternal dampness of being a cave diver, the humidity can overtake divers swiftly! Humidity makes it twice as difficult to do the prep labor associated with diving. Sure, you can get dressed in all of your diving gear in an air conditioned hotel room, but what about the mile-long hike to the cave entry point? You’re going to wish you had air conditioning system when you’re halfway to the dive locale walking with your flippers on dry ground. Battery-powered personal fans have been a life-saver for our diving team; since all of us don’t have the luxury of a cooling plan in the good outdoors, all of us use fans to cool ourselves off, to dispel the humidity clouding our bodies, & to keep us comfortable when all of us don’t have the luxury of current a/c technology. And, when dives are over, all of us spend as much time in our hotel rooms as all of us can. The two of us crank our control units as low as they can go, & all of us let the vents blast our faces with cool air while all of us reminisce on the morning’s dives. While people have been diving in Mexico’s caves for decades, there haven’t constantly been well-appointed hotels close to the dive site; I have no idea how the divers of the past survived without air conditioning system! After a hot, hot, & humid morning in the good outdoors, divers deserve the blessing of a high-quality air conditioner. While all of us dive because all of us adore it, the perk of a/c access makes the setbacks of the athletic interest much more manageable!
