What are the 3 As of Buoyancy Control?
- Awareness - perpetually aware
- Anticipation - raising & holding inflator at the ready
- Action - vent or add air
OWDM 128-129
13 Alternate Air Source Use - Stationary
Confined Open Water
Share gas with another diver, using an alternate air source, while stationary, for for at least 20 seconds. Each diver is to do this as both donor and receiver. The donor is to be able to pass his primary 2d stage, right side up, within 3 seconds. OWDM 131-135
14 Alternate Air Source Use - Ascending
Confined & Open Water
Share gas with another diver, using alternate air source, while, ascending. Ascends are to be made no faster than 10 m/30 ft per minute, and include a safety stop (may be simulated in confined water). Each diver is to do this as both donor and receiver. The donor is to be able to pass his primary 2d stage, right side up, within 3 seconds. http://scubanase/cp,/blog?p=110
15 Alternate Air Source Use - Traveling
Confined & Open Water
Share gas with another diver, using alternate air source, while traveling a distance of at least 15 m/ 45 ft under water. Each diver is to do this as both donor and receiver. OWDM Not in manual
- Air-Depletion Exercise
Confined Water Only
Respond correctly to a simulated air system failure by signaling “Out of Air!” and waiting for the instructor to re-establish air flow. NASE Instructor Manual
- Breath from a Free-Flowing Regulator
Confined Water Only
Breathe successfully from a simulated regulator free flow under water for at least 15 seconds. NASE Instructor Manual
- Deep Water Entry - Giant Stride
Confined & Open Water
Correctly enter water too deep to stand from a boat or deck using a grant stride. Divers are to maintain control of both mask and primary regulator 2d stage with one hand; be able to flat comfortably at the surface after entering; and signal OKay to the boat or shore to indicate they are, in fact, “OK”. OWDM 132-133
- Deep Water Entry - Back Roll
Confined & Open Water
Correctly enter water too deep to stand from a boat or deck using a backwards roll or other common small-boat entry technique. Divers are to maintain control of both mask and primary regulator 2d stage with one hand; be able to flat comfortably at the surface after entering; and signal OKay to the boat or shore to indicate they are, in fact, “OK”. OWDM 132-133
- Deep Water Exit
Confined & Open Water
Exit water too deep to stand using a technique appropriate for the dive or dive vessel. Divers are to establish and maintain contact with the boat, deck, or ladder before removing fins. NASE Instructor Manual
- Cramp Release
Confined & Open Water
Simulate a cramp release at the surface by pulling on the fin tip to stretch the calf muscle. NASE Instructor Manual
- Tired Diver Tow - Tank Tow
Confined & Open Water
Tow another diver a distance of at least 20 m/65 ft feet at the surface using a tank vale tow. NASE Instructor Manual
- Tired Diver Tow - Under-Arm-Push
Confined & Open Water
Tow another diver a distance of at least 20 m/65 ft feet at the surface using an under arm push. NASE Instructor Manual
- Tired Diver Tow - Fin Push
Confined & Open Water
Tow another diver a distance of at least 20 m/65 ft feet at the surface using a fin push. NASE Instructor Manual

(Confined Water Only)
* Definition needs to be corrected
Remove and replace a weight belt or weight system component (such as a weight pocket) in water too deep to stand, in 2 minutes or less. NASE Instructor Manual
- Weight Belt Remove/Replace - Free Diving
Confined & Open Water
While properly equipped for free diving (i.e., mask, snorkel, fins, wet suit, and weighted for neutral buoyancy at 5.0 m /15 feet) remove and replace a weight belt at the surface, in water to deep to stand in two minutes or less. NASE Instructor Manual
- Surface Dives
Confined & Open Water
While properly equipped for free diving (i.e., mask, snorkel, fins, wet suit, and weighted for neutral buoyancy at 5.0 m /15 feet) correctly perform a surface dive capable of getting the diver completely under water before needing to kick. NASE Instructor Manual
- Displacement Snorkel Clearing
Confined & Open Water
While properly equipped for free diving (i.e., mask, snorkel, fins, wet suit, and weighted for neutral buoyancy at 5.0 m /15 feet) correctly perform a displacement snorkel clear while ascending. Divers are to surface completely clear of water. NASE Instructor Manual
- Compass Swim - Surface
Open Water
While wearing scuba on the surface, in water too deep to stand, take a compass heading on an object at lest 30 m / 100 ft away; then swim to that object using only the compass for reference. Divers are to arrive within a 15-degree arc of the object. {4 m/ 12 ft off} NASE Instructor Manual
