PADI Divemaster Module 1 Questions with complete solutions 2023. What is the role of the divemaster in dive planning for a group of certified divers? - correct answers.Provide broad planning information that divers use to plan their individual dives. How do you plan a dive by "thinking through the dive"? - correct answers.Make a list: pre-dive preparation, organize equipment, imagine greeting divers and checking in, think about getting ready for the dive, visualize post dive activities Think through possible emergencies Think about information divers need to plan dives Go back and ask "what if...?" How do you evaluate general dive conditions, and how do conditions affect the dive? - correct answers.Weather: wind causes waves and surf, rain results in runoff and poor vis, temperature affects comfort Tides and tidal currents: affect visibility, depth, and water movement Currents are an important consideration Evaluate visibility from a good vantage point. What are the three aspects of planning dives for remote areas? - correct answers.1. Preparation and planning need to cover more logistics 2. Have additional medical supplies 3. Self sufficiency (having tools and spare parts) What is the primary purpose of diver accounting procedures? - correct answers.To track divers in and out of the water - make sure every diver comes back aboard before the boat leaves or returns to shore Divers you supervise must retain responsibility for: - correct answers.1. Planning dives for themselves within their own limits. 2. Following their individual plans. 3. Quickly revising their plans if conditions change during the dive True or false: "thinking through the dive" the process of thinking about a dive from before it starts until after it ends as a way of planning what you will need to prepare for and do. - correct answers.False True or false: rain can affect dive conditions by causing current, temperature change, and visibility changes. - correct answers.False; rain can cause visibility change, but will not typically cause current or temperature change. Wind can cause current, temperature change, and/or visibility changes. The primary purpose of diving accounting procedures is to ensure that every diver has: - correct answers.Come back from the dive. What individual differences in divers does a divemaster have to be prepared to accommodate? (Study Objective) - correct answers.Skill level, physical challenges, learning challenges, culture, responsible behavior What are 6 characteristics of responsible diver behavior? (Study Objective) - correct answers.1. Stay within personal limits 2. Use required equipment 3. Maintain equipment 4. Check air frequently 5. Stay within no stop limits 6. Avoid contact with aquatic life What are 4 ways to encourage responsible diving? (Study Objective) - correct answers.1. Be a good role model 2. Remind divers of responsible behavior 3. Make responsible behavior easier logistically 4. Reward responsible behavior How do you assess divers before a dive for experience level, possible stress, and possible equipment problems? (Study Objective) - correct answers.Indirect techniques: look at the diver's equipment; watch their behavior Direct techniques: check logbook/certification card; have the diver fill out information details; interview the diver What are the characteristics of predive stress, and how do you help divers deal with it? (Study Objective) - correct answers.Signs and symptoms: behavioral change, perceptual narrowing, physical stress, expressing concern about the dive, reports from others Ask the diver, remove the stressor, change the diver's perception of the stressor, help the diver cope with the stressor Divers have individual differences, and you adapt your supervision techniques to meet their needs. Generally, divers with _______ want more guidance than do divers with ________. - correct e experience; ample experience True or false: Although it's important to be environmentally sensitive, diving in an environmentally sensitive manner is not considered a characteristic of responsible diver behavior. - correct answers.False True or false: role model behavior is one way to encourage responsible diving behavior. - correct answers.True You see a diver who lets their SPG and computer console dangle unsecured. Based on this, you may suspect that the diver may: - correct answers.Be a novice Be unaware of of environmentally sensitive techniques Have a poor attitude toward responsible diving practices You notice that a diver seems stressed about a dive and discover that it's due to fears of not having enough air to make the planned dive, because the diver's cylinder is only 2/3 full. To assist the diver, which of the following are examples of removing the stressor? - correct answers.Giving the diver a full cylinder. Changing the dive plan so that it's shorter/shallower. What are 4 aspects of supervision in managing dives? (Study Objective) - correct answers.1. Adequate dive planning 2. Communicating clearly with divers 3. Having a good vantage point 4. Recognizing, anticipating, and identifying possible problems What are the advantages and disadvantages of in-water vs out-of-water supervision, and advantages and disadvantages of out-of-water vs in-water supervision? (Study Objective) - correct answers.Advantages of in-water supervision: puts you close to divers to respond to or prevent problems; minimizes diver problems (accidentally exceeding depth limit, etc.); adds interest by guiding divers and pointing out aquatic life In-water disadvantages: you can only watch one group; some divers prefer to explore independently Advantages of out-of-water supervision: effective way to supervise multiple groups; puts you close to emergency equipment; gives buddy teams more individual options Out-of-water disadvantages: unable to remind divers to follow procedure; can't show points of interest
