NASE IN WATER DI TEACHING ASSIGNMENTS Flashcards
01 Regulator Clearing
Confined & Open Water
While under water, remove, replace, clear, and while maintaining airway control, resume breathing from a regulator second stage, by both exhaling and using the purge button. NASE OWDM 116-117
02 Regulator Recovery on Surface Using the Sweep Method
Confined & Open Water
While on the surface, in water too deep to stand, locate, clear, and resume breathing (while maintaining airway control) from a regulator second stage that has dropped out of sight within 15 seconds, using the sweep method. NASE OWDM 117-121
03 Regulator Recovery - Reach Method
Confined & Open Water
While under water, locate, clear, and resume breathing (while maintaining airway control) from a regulator second stage that has dropped out of sight within 15 seconds, using the reach method. NASE OWDM 117-121
04 No-Mask Breathing at Surface
Confined Water Only
While on the surface, in waist-to-chest water and without a mask, breathe from a regulator second stage or a snorkel, with your face under water for at least 30 seconds. NASE OWDM 121-124
05 Mask Clearing - Partial
Confined & Open Water
While under water, completely clear a mask that has partially filled with water. NASE OWDM 121-124
06 Mask Clearing - Full
Confined & Open Water
While under water, completely clear a mask that has fully flooded with water within 5 seconds on a single breath. NASE OWDM 121-124
07 Mask Removal and Replacement
Confined & Open Water
While under water, completely remove, replace and clear a mask of water on the first attempt. NASE OWDM 121-124
08 No-Mask Swim
Confined Water Only
Remove a mask, swim a distance of 15 m/45 ft under water without it. Then replace and completely clear the mask of water. NASE OWDM 121-124
09 BC Power Inflation Under Water
Confined & Open Water
Use a BC low -pressure inflator mechanism to establish and/or maintain neutral buoyancy under water.NASE OWDM 126-127
10 BC Oral Inflation Under Water
Confined & Open Water
Simulate power inflator failure by orally inflating a BC to establish and/or maintain neutral buoyancy under water.NASE OWDM 126-127
10 BC Oral Inflation at Surface
Confined &Open Water
Simulate power inflator failure by orally inflating a BC to establish positive buoyancy at the surface, using no more than 4 breaths and completing the task within 10 seconds. NASE OWDM 128
12 Disconnect Runaway BC Inflator
Confined Water Only
While under water, simulate dealing with a runaway or stuck BC power inflator by disconnecting the low-pressure hose, under pressure within 5 seconds. NASE OWDM
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
