I've just finished a single no stop dive with my buddy. We have not been diving in the past
several days, and this is the only dive we make. Based on current recommendations, the
minimum surface interval before we fly is 12 hours
I need to use special altitude diving procedures when diving at an altitude greater than 300
meters/1000 feet
If I am cold or exercise a lot during dive, I may surface with more nitrogen than calculate by my
computer or dive tables. True
At the end of a dive, my dive buddy's foot gets tangled in an abandoned fishing net. It takes five
minutes to get free, but that delays our ascent making us exceed our no stop limit. This means
that before we surface, we will have to make a(n) ..... stop to return our nitrogen level from
outside that accept limits. Emergency decompression
On a dive boat, after coming aboard two divers discover they accidentally surfaced without
making an emergency decompression stop. They should ..... and not dive for at least 24 hours.
Relax, breath oxygen and check themselves for DCS
In emergency decompression situation, I find I won't have enough air to complete all the
required stop time. I should Stop as long as I can, but save enough air to surface and exit
safely.
To help a diver with suspected decompression illness, I should - Monitor the diver's
breathing and provide CPR as necessary.
- Contact emergency medical care.
- Provide emergency oxygen.
Nearly all cases of decompression illness require treatment In a recompression chamber.
