37
Q

What should there be with regard to how much bell umbilical is paid out?

A

A means to identify how much umbilical is paid out

38
Q

When diver and stand-by are deployed from different locations this will govern how much umbilical the working diver will have available via risk assessment.

True or False

A

True

39
Q

What is a ‘goldola’ when using extended umbilical diving techniques?

A

A basket on surface suspended by vessel crane or cherry picker

40
Q

Does a ‘gondola’ require a man riding crane?

A

No

41
Q

What is the required breaking strain of a divers weak link?

A

<70 kg

42
Q

What is an intermediate tending point?

A

A boat or basket on the surface where stand-by diver can be tended from.

43
Q

What are the requirements of an intermediate tending point?

A

provision for communications and monitoring

44
Q

Does a golden gate have to be on a man riding crane?

A

No

45
Q

What is an active in water tender used for?

A

Deployment of diver beyond standard safe maximum umbilical length

46
Q

What is passive tending?

A

Where two divers are on the job and their umbilcials are clipped off to the golden gate / basket

47
Q

What is the caveat to active tending the working diver?

A

working diver curtain railed and clipped off to swim line.

48
Q

what is the equation for working out max out from mid water basket / golden gate?

A

Which is lesser between:
C = D - 5m
C = A - 5m

And:
B < C

49
Q

What are the diver considerations for DP in shallow water?

A

Draft Vs deployment
Thruster wash and noise
Visibility

50
Q

What must be taken into account with vessel draft?

A

Low tide
Subsea structure heights

51
Q

What happens to a DP’s performance in shallow water?

A

Diminishes

52
Q

position references should have an accuracy of how much of water depth?

A

+/- 2%

53
Q

In 30 meters of water depth what would be the standard deviation expected?

A

+/- 0.6 meters

54
Q

How many position references should there be on line at one time minimum

A

3

55
Q

Of all the position references what is required of at least one of them if possible?

A

Be a radio or surface reference

56
Q

What is ‘scope’ in a a DP reference system

A

57
Q

What is the ‘scope’ rule?

A

Yes

68

Mooring tension must not be adjusted mid dive.

True or False

A

True

69
Q

Changes to the draft of the moored ship invoke what?

Q

What must a DPO do during diving within an anchor pattern

A

continuously monitor either by radar or radio the moored vessel

71
Q

If contact is lost with the moored vessel during dive ops what happens?

A

Immediate suspension of diving

72
Q

What needs to be done with regards to permits when diving within an anchor pattern?

A

Reporting procedure established between vessel master and OIM

73

Is an ‘interface’ required between permit to work and permit to dive with regards to mooring chain / ballast adjustment?

A

Yes.

74
Q

Is >50m horizontal clearance of a mooring chain considered acceptable during a blow on / drift on?

A

No

Risk assessment required after timed recovery and drift trials

75
Q

<50m does the closest mooring chain need to be continuously monitored by transponder?

A

Yes

76

<50m can a twin bells be deployed at the same time?

A

No

77
Q

<50m do emergency provisions for lost bell have to be covered in the risk assessment?

A

Yes

78

<50 does trapped umbilical need to be address on the risk assessment?

A

yes

79

A

Radio & fan beam systems employed.

80
Q

When diving around structures & wellheads what needs to be considered?
