PADI Open Water Diving Section 3 Questions And
Answers Real Tests
I can enjoy diving in many different aquatic environments that include coral reefs, flooded quarries, and
human-made dive environments. ANS True
Conditions that may affect me while diving include. ANS temperature, water movement, sunlight,
aquatic life, bottom composition
In most (but not all) environments, as i go deeper the water gets ANS colder
Particles made of fine material affect visibility by ANS remaining suspended for long periods
When diving in clear water, I don't have to worry as much about staying close to my buddy ANS
False. In clear water, you may get too far from your buddy because you can still see each other. As a rule
of thumb, stay within two seconds of each other.
The two types of water motion that most affect me as a diver are waves and current ANS True
Although somewhat subjective, I measure visibility as how far I can see___________ underwater ANS
horizantally
When diving in reduced visibility it is a good idea to descend and ascend with a reference. ANS True
When diving in a mild current, normally I want to begin my dive _________ the current ANS headed
into
If I were caught in a current and carried downstream past my planned exit, I should swim ___________
the current ANS across
Due to a problem, my buddy and I had to surface away from the boat. There is a current, so we swam
across it to reach the line trailed from the boat, but the current pushed us too quickly. To avoid
, overexertion, we should ANS establish positive buoyancy, signal the boat to pick us up and remain
calm
When I'm diving, I want to avoid bottom contact because ANS it helps keep the water clear, there
may be some hazard of cuts, scrapes or stings, fragile aquatic life could be damaged
The most common injury divers suffer may be ANS sunburn
Within the recreational depth range, very distinct temperature changes are most common in ___________
water environments ANS fresh
I learn to asses dive conditions by reading dive magazines and online sources about diving ANS
False. You learn to asses dive conditions based on what other divers and your instructor show you, and
based on experience diving and continuing your education
If any aspect of a dive, including my assessment of the environment, causes me significant concern and/or
anxiety, I should ANS determine how to handle the concern, or not dive
Local orientations are important for safety and for ANS making my dive more enjoyable
"Diving within my limits" simply means diving within the limits of my ANS training, experience,
comfort
One way exceeding my limits can increase my risk is by exposing me to hazards that I'm not prepared to
handle or may not even recognize until it's too late. ANS True
Diving with an experienced diver and gaining dive experience are two ways to generally expand my
limits, but they don't replace training for activities that require training. ANS True
While planning a dive, my buddy (who is not an instructor) suggests that we dive significantly deeper
than I have either training or experience with. My best response it to ANS politely say "no" and
propose a depth limit appropriate for my limits.
