Overview
Neutral buoyancy
fin pivot oral and low-pressure inflation
Neutral buoyancy swim
Cramp removal
Tired diver tow
Air depletion/alternate air source combined exercise
Free flow regulator breathing
Controlled emergency swimming ascent (CESA)
Performance Requirements:
By the end of this confined water dive
the student will be able to:
- Independently establish neutral buoyancy under water by pivoting on the
fin tips
or
when appropriate
another point of contact (both oral and
low-pressure inflation).
- Swim at least 10 metres/yards underwater while maintaining neutral
buoyancy.
- Demonstrate the cramp removal technique.
- At the surface in water too deep to stand up in
perform a tired diver tow
for 25 metres/yards.
- Respond to air depletion by signaling out of air
then securing and
breathing from an alternate air source supplied by a buddy for at least one
minute while swimming underwater.
- Share air with another diver using an alternate air source
acting as a
donor. NOTE: Student divers who act as an alternate air source
donor in the air depletion exercise or during the Confined Water Dive 1
alternate air source breathing skill have completed this requirement.
- Breathe effectively from a free-flowing regulator for not less than 30
seconds.
- Simulate a controlled emergency swimming ascent by swimming horizontally
underwater for at least 9 metres/30 feet while continuously exhaling by
emitting a continuous aaahhh sound.
