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
