NAUI Instructor Exam Questions and
Answers 100% Pass

Henry's Law - ✔✔The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly related to its partial pressure above

the liquid.


Relationship of gas solubility and temperature - ✔✔Solubility of gas decreases with increasing

temperature


(INVERSELY RELATED)


Inert gas loading in relation to body tissue - ✔✔Body tissue absorbs more inert gas as depth increases


Benefit of Dive Computer compared to Dive Tables - ✔✔Gives the diver credit for shallow portions of the

dive


Cold or Strenuous dive planning rule - ✔✔Use the next greater dive TIME to determine letter group


Equilibrium as it relates to nitrogen in the body - ✔✔When the pressure of nitrogen is balanced between

air and your body


Haldane surfacing ratio - ✔✔Originally 2:1 - Updated with new research to 1.58:1


Tissue compartment half-time - ✔✔The time required for the compartment to absorb or eliminate half of

the pressure difference between what it started with and the ambient pressure


M-Value of tissue - ✔✔The maximum allowable nitrogen (inert gas) pressure in a specific tissue


NAUI recommendation for diving while pregnant - ✔✔Do not dive while pregnant

Haldane tissue compartments - ✔✔Haldane - 5 compartments


Modern Computers - Apx. 16 compartments


Tissue compartment - ✔✔Mathematical model consisting of multiple theoretical tissues and their relative

halftimes


Fast compartments - short halftimes


Slow compartments - long halftimes


Ascent rate at altitude - ✔✔Slower than at sea level


Extend dive times with gas by - ✔✔Decreased nitrogen and increased oxygen in breathing gas


RNT - ✔✔Residual Nitrogen Time


Tme already spent at the repetitive dive depth (dive tables)


Procedure for missed decompression stops - ✔✔Remain out of the water, rest, breathe 100% oxygen,

drink fluids, be monitored for signs of decompression illness, transported to a hyperbaric facility if

symptoms arise


SIT - ✔✔Surface Interval Time


Longer time at the surface allows for increased repeat dive times


Canadian Dive Tables published by the Defense and Civil Institute of Environmental Medicine (DCIEM) -

✔✔Based on 20+ years of research pioneered by Kidd and Stubbs (1962)


Swiss Dive Tables - ✔✔Developed by A.A. Bühlmann at the University of Zurich - EXTENDED TO

INCLUDE ALTITUDE DIVING


If the time spent making a "precautionary stop" at 5 msw (15 fsw) causes your Total Dive Time to exceed

the Dive Time Limits, you should: - ✔✔Use the Maximum Dive Time as your Total Dive Time
