Underwater, objects appear to be % larger

In what order does color start filtering out in water
Red, Orange, Yellow, Green, Blue
What are thermoclines
Different layers of water at different temperatures
How fast does sound travel in the water
4,921 feet per second
What is Conduction
Conduction is the transmission of heat by direct contact. Because water is an excellent heat conductor, an unprotected diver can lose a great deal of body heat to the surrounding water by direct conduction
What is Convection
Convection is the transfer of heat by the movement of heated fluids
What is Radiation
Radiation is heat transmission by electromagnetic waves of energy. Every warm object gives off waves of electromagnetic energy, which is absorbed by cool objects. Heat from the sun, electric heaters, and fireplaces is primarily radiant heat
A diver will start to become chilled when the water temperature falls below a seemingly comfortable
70°F
GFIs are required when line voltage is above
7.5 VAC or 30 VDC
GFIs shall be capable of tripping within ___ milliseconds after detecting a maximum leakage current of ___ milliamps.
20 milliseconds, 30 milliamps
Deploying Standby Diver as a working diver:
- Surface-supplied, no decompression dive 60 fsw or more
- Same job/location
50 Foot rule
Diving within 50 feet of an active sea suction (located on the same side of the keel) that is maintaining a suction greater than 50 gpm or more, is not authorized unless considered as an emergency repair and is authorized by the CO of both the RA and tended vessel.
Diving on ships in a nest:
-Outboard ship must fly code alpha
-All suctions within the 50’ path of divers and work item must be tagged out on both ships
-Both ships pass the word “There are divers working
Diving within active ICCP:
-The appropriate zone of the ships ICCP system must be secured, tagged out, and confirmed secured before divers may work on an ICCP device
-Divers working within 15 feet of an active system must wear a full dry suit, unisuit, or wet suit with hood and gloves.
Diving with active sonar:
-Wet- Suit Hooded - Start 600 yds. and move in to diver comfort
-Wet- Suit Unhooded - Start 1000 yds. and move in to diver comfort
-Helmeted - Start 3000 yds. and move in to diver comfort
Diving at night:
-Notify port ops due to sonar testing
-Ships light should be Red-White-Red
