PADI Peak Performance Buoyancy knowledge reviewUsing the Basic Weighting Guidelines, estimate the amount of weight (based on your present body weight) you want to begin a buoyancy check with if you plan to use: Neoprene dry suit, 12 1/80 cf cylinder in salt water. - correct answer 32+5+8=45 lbs. Using the Basic Weighting Guidelines, estimate the amount of weight (based on your present body weight) you want to begin a buoyancy check with if you plan to use a 7 mm / 1/4 in wet suit with hood and boots, 12 1/80 cf cylinder and fresh water. - correct answer 27+5-8=24 lbs. Using the Basic Weighting Guidelines, estimate the amount of weight (based on your present body weight) you want to begin a buoyancy check with if you plan to use a 3 mm / 1/16 in one piece wet suit, steel tank in salt water. - correct answer 12+?+8=20+ lbs. Under what three circumstances sshould you conduct a buoyancy check before diving? - correct answer Any time you: 1) change your dive gear configuration. 2) change dive environments. 3) haven't been diving in a while. A buoyancy check at the surface includes five steps. What are they? - correct answer 1) Put on all equipment. 2) Enter water too deep to stand and deflate BCD (and dry suit) completely. 3) Hang vertical and motionless while holding a normal breath. 4) Add or subtract weight until you float at eye level holding a normal breath. 5) As a check, exhale. You should sink slowly. When should you need to adjust your buoyancy during a dive? - correct answer 1) To compensate for buoyancy changes as you use your air. 2) To compensate for buoyancy changes due to exposure suit compression. 3) To compensate for increased buoyancy during ascent. NOTE: Swim up to ascend; exhale to descend. When you're neutrally buoyant, you <BLANK> slightly as you inhale and <BLANK> slightly as you exhale. - correct answer ASCEND, DESCEND Proper wight and distribution give you greater <BLANK> in the water. (Resistance, Buoyancy, Control or Visualization?) - correct answer CONTROL List four reasons for being streamlined while diving: - correct answer 1) Your kicks are more efficient. 2) You're comfortable; everything is in its place. 3) You use less energy as you swim. 4) You minimize damage to the environment; no dragging gear. Overweighting drags down the lower half of your body, so you want to avoid being overweighted. True or False - correct answer False. You'd have to fill your BCD which will cause drag. To improve your buoyancy control, visualization techniques can help you: - correct answer 1) Relax. 2) Establish a comfortable breathing pattern.
