Air/scuba Sup Flashcards
Proficiency req for a dive sup
Sup 2 dives every 6 months/4 dives a year
Notify mdv and diving officer via ddo for
Diving after 1800
Single closure to sea work
Planned decompression
Pre requirements for getting into water at Point Loma
Danger tag out/dive safe sheet filled out Splash waf Work waf SDO briefed SDO to get permission from squadron RADCON brief Dive brief/ORM/pre dives
Are strongbacks required for carrier cofferdams?
No, structural integrity is maintained by ribbed design
What system do ships use to submit work requests?
Aims
What is the 50’ rule?
Co of Repair activity and vessel must sign off when diving within
Dive sup determines when on the opposite side
Egs rules
Deeper than 60fsw or enclosed space diving.
50-150 whip may be used topside if shallower than 60fsw
High risk diving operation
RAC code 1 or 2
Deemed high risk by diving officer/mdv/dive sup
Open packages signatures
Open WAF
RADCON
246 stamp
What must mmp be maintained to in descent?
10fsw ahead of the divers
Radcon boundary for carrier
Frame 80-180
Notify port ops at 32nd
48 hours prior to and diving
Prior to entering and after exiting the water
Prior to diving past 1800
Considerations for Diving in the vicinity of active sonar
Dive sup notify mdv
Calculate safe working distances
Notify port ops to second lift with other operations
Sonar testing is normally authorized on NBSD from 1800-2359
What size steel is used for j bolts
5/8 drop forge steel
Safe sonar start distances
Wet suit unhooded - 1000yds
Wet suit hooded- 600yds
Helmeted- 3000yds
Radcon boundary for carriers
Frame 80-180
Fwp process for carriers
- job into aims via ship sup
- job sent to dive planners or psns
- generates fwp and waf
- schedules the dives
- tagout
- 105.3 briefed and signs fwp
- divers review and sign fwp
When can standby be deployed as a working diver?
No decompression Less than 60fsw Same site Deemed safe Uwsh or uct work, not Salvage
Deliberate ORM
Routine ORM used for job briefs and safety checks
Uses IAMIS
Single closure to sea requirements
JHA- reviewed and signs by E7 or above
E7 or above will be on station for pre job safety brief and/or on job site prior to commencing work
E7 can depart after SAT leak check
Breathing air purity requirements
20-22% o2
1000 ppm co2
10 ppm co
What is the average respiratory minute volume rate for scuba
1.4 cfm
In depth ORM
Major planning and time
Usually done by tycoms and fleet commanders
Km37/mk20 current restrictions
Above 1.5 knots require extra weight
Prerequisites for splashing on Coronado
Danger tagout/dive safe sheet Waf opened Ships Diving officer briefed Two way comms with diving officer Radcon brief Dive brief/ORM/pre dives
Radcon packages are generated from
Portsmouth naval shipyard
When can standby dress down
Discretion of the dive sup if the hazards of remaining dresses outweigh the need of having standby dressed out
Operational risk principles
Accept risk when you know the facts and the benefits outweigh the cost
Accept no unnecessary risk
Anticipate and manage risk by planning
Make risk decision at right level
DOD Civilian diver restrictions
Max depth: 130 fsw
Recompression chamber within 5 min past 100 fsw or outside no “d” limits
Must have a reserve valve or separate air cylinder with reg
Must have submersible pressure gauge
Must remain at recompression chamber for 1 hour after decompression dive and 5 min of the dive location
How often do you signal a diver
2-3 min
Required distance from bottom of ship to bottom of sea bed
Ship/sub/carrier- 6’
Fwp process for 32nd
- job submitted via ships sup into aims
- dive planners generate fwp and waf
- dive planners schedule dives
- tagout
- divers review and signs fwp
Who gives you permission to dive at 32?
Edo
Duty officer
Time critical risk management
Requires a high degree of situational awareness
Utilizes ABCD
What must a BC provide
10lbs of buoyancy at max depth Jettison-able weights Power inflator Oral inflator Over pressure relief valve
2-1-2
