The NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver Course consists of at least 6 open water dives - ANSWER
True
Penetration wreck diving is a required dive in the Advanced Scuba Course - ANSWER
False
While you will receive an introduction to some of the specialty areas of diving, you do not
receive enough training to be considered proficient in them - ANSWER True
The aim of NAUI is to educate people to have fun while diving as safely as possible -
ANSWER True
The NAUI Advanced textbook cannot be used as a diving reference book - ANSWER False
Planning for safe, enjoyable dives demands care and attention to detail - ANSWER True
You should dive even if conditions are bad - ANSWER False
You should always make certain that you and your dive buddy are physically and mentally
prepared for the dive. If either of you is not feeling well, consider not diving. - ANSWER
True
In buddy diving, you are accepting the responsibility of trying to assure a safe and
comfortable dive for you both - ANSWER True
1
,You do not need to perform a buoyancy check whenever you change your equipment or
exposure suit configuration - ANSWER False
A compass is a magnetized needle that rotates on a pivot point - ANSWER True
The single essential feature that allows a compass to be used in diving is that its case is
liquid-filled - ANSWER True
Probably the most accurate way to estimate distance is fin kicking - ANSWER False
Bearings are simply course directions taken with a compass - ANSWER True
It does not help to walk through your compass navigation on land in order to fix it in your
mind and work out any problems while you can easily discuss them - ANSWER False
The principal requirement for night diving is a broad beam main or primary dive light -
ANSWER True
Whether you choose a light that uses disposable batteries or is rechargeable should be
determined by how frequently you intend to use the light - ANSWER True
Lights to mark the entry/exit point on a shore dive can be anything from lanterns to a pair of
roadway flasher types - ANSWER True
A luminescent gauge will "store" light energy from a dive light that is shined on it and glow
for many minutes - ANSWER True
Before you attempt a night dive, you and your buddy do not need to be practiced at
successfully staying together during daytime dives - ANSWER False
2
,Deeper diving is generally defined as dives to depths greater than 19 meters (60 feet) -
ANSWER True
The deeper you dive the increased density of the air decreases the effort needed to
exchange air in the lungs - ANSWER True
NAUI recommends that your regular diving equipment include an extra second stage on your
regulator, a low pressure inflator on your buoyancy compensator, a dive computer and
backup instrumentation, and an underwater slate - ANSWER True
If you use a dive computer it is not important to have read the manufacturer's instructions
for its use. It is also a good idea to have used the computer on shallower dives to familiarize
yourself with its operation. - ANSWER False
Having extra cylinders available for deep dives is highly recommended - ANSWER True
Biological study techniques vary. Typical activities include quantitative counts, comparison
studies, surveys, controlled observations, tagging, collecting, and preserving. - ANSWER
True
The equipment for underwater studies of aquatic life ranges from an underwater slate to
sophisticated electronic measuring devices - ANSWER True
The participants in a study need to know what to look for, where to look for it, what data to
obtain, and the techniques to be used - ANSWER True
Seeking one type of plant or animal to the exclusion of all else is usually preferable to
looking for a variety of life forms - ANSWER True
3
, It is not important that all surveys be performed by buddy teams of divers. Solo diving is
permitted for obvious safety reasons - ANSWER False
Finding things underwater requires a proper approach for success and safety. This is also
true of recovery - ANSWER True
The first fundamental of searching for an object under water is to define the area to be
searched and to mark the starting point - ANSWER True
It is not important to mark an object once it has been found if it is too heavy to carry -
ANSWER False
To salvage an object that has been found and marked, the first step is to "rig" the item
securely - ANSWER True
A desirable feature on a lift bag is a "dump valve" - a manually operated valve that allows
expanding air to be vented from the lift bag during ascent. This is one way in which a lift can
be controlled - ANSWER True
People dive on wrecks to collect relics and artifacts (where it is legal), to use them as an
interesting background for underwater photos, to hunt or observe the abundance of life
often found there, to pursue interests in history or archaeology, or just for personal reasons
such as curiosity or fascination - ANSWER True
It is uncommon for wrecks to be covered with a layer of silt and sediment that has filtered
down upon it for years. It takes a great disturbance to raise a cloud that can immediately
reduce visibility to zero - ANSWER False
Two possible hazards for you to keep in mind for your introductory non-penetration external
survey dive are sharp edges and losing your bearings - ANSWER True
4
