Performance Requirements:
During Open Water Dive 2
under instructor supervision
the student will:
- Listen to and participate in the briefing and dive planning session
- for the dive.
- Prepare
and with a buddy don and adjust
scuba equipment with minimal
instructor/staff assistance.
- With a buddy
perform the predive safety check.
- Enter the water in the manner determined during the briefing.
- Adjust the weight so that the student floats at eye level with an empty
BCD and holding a normal breath.
- Using the five point method
descend in a controlled manner using a
descent line or sloping bottom contour to provide control and reference to a
depth not greater than 12 metres/40 feet.
- Achieve neutral buoyancy by inflating the BCD (or dry suit if used) with
the low pressure inflator.
- Clear a mask that has been partially flooded.
- Clear a mask that has been fully flooded.
- Recover and clear a regulator at depth.
- In a stationary position
secure and breathe from an alternate air source
provided by another diver. Students alternate roles as donors and receivers.
Ascend properly using an alternate air source as either the donor or receiver
and establish positive buoyancy at the surface.
- Under direct instructor or certified assistant supervision
explore
underwater to gain experience.
- Using the five point method
ascend at a rate no faster than 18 metres/ 60
feet per minute while maintaining buddy contact.
- Establish buoyancy at the surface by removing weights at the surface using
the quick release mechanism of the weight system.
- Exit the water as determined during dive planning.
- Attend the instructor’s debriefing.
- Log the dive for instructor signature.
