SCUBA
a depth change of 10 metres/33 feet causes a pressure change of
2 bar/ata
if you take 6 liters of air from the surface to 20 metres/66 feet, the volume will be
2 litres
T or F: I equalize gently because an extended, forceful equalization can cause permanent damage to my ears and hearing
True
T or F: My body responds to anxiety with increased breathing, but slow breathing helps reduce anxiety
True
buoyancy is
a force that pushes an object in water upward
equalization is the process of
adding air to an air space
the most important rule in scuba diving is to
breath continuously and never hold your breath
a balloon fully inflated and sealed at 10 metres/33 feet, would probably ____ during ascent to the surface
burst
the most efficient way to breathe dense air underwater is to breathe
deeply and slowly
As I descend, increasing pressure affects my
mask
to control my buoyancy, normally I will use my weight system and
my BCD
I'm descending and I can't equalize. The first thing I would do is
stop my descent, signal my buddy/instructor
