The mask headstrap must

The function of the cardio-circolatory system is to transport and distribute oxygen and to remove residues and _____________

Several techniques exist for entering into the water these have always been developed with the safety of the ___________ as a primary consideration.

The speed at which sound travels through water makes it difficult for his senses to judge _______________

Normally, ____________ breath is preceded by an increase in the breathing rate.

If we want to dive, ________________________, the B.C.D. must be deflated by using the exhaust valve.

Descending and ascending through the bubbles discharged by another diver below, can cause dizziness, try not to look at the bubbles.

underwater the objects appear _____________by about 1/3, water also absorbs light, an effect that increases with wather depth.

The “Octopus” It is fixed to _____________________ of the first stage through a hose than the normal one.

A body immersed in a fluid is ______________by the column fluid above it.

The air that we breathe is composed of a mixture of gases, for simplicity let’s say that is made up mainly of________________________

Nitrogen narcosis effects different divers differently depending on the ___________________

At a depth of 15 metres, the pressure inside the lungs will be the equivalent of the ambient pressure:

The BCD must be slowly deflated during ascent, because the air inside it expands and creates an ________________________and subsequent loss of control of speed. (max. 9 meter/minutes)

“At a constant temperature the volume of a gas varies _____________ with absolute pressure while the density of a gas varies ________ with absolute pressure”

The tendency of the body to float is:

While you dive, in order to evaluate the hydrostatic equilibrium, is important to consider the relation between volume and weight of:

Descending underwater the increase in pressure is constant at ______ Atmosphere every 10 metres.

In the case of loss of regulator it is necessary to ascent and continue to

On resurfacing it may be necessary to ______________________ to obtain positive buoyancy or to be able to come out of the water more easily

You finished your first dive with dive letter group F of nitrogen. Now, wanting to plan a second dive, after a break on the surface of 3 hours and 29 minutes, moving to the right to find the box corresponding to this time, we find the interval from 2 hours 29 minutes to 3 hours 57 minutes. Below the new dive letter group is indicated: in this case C.

The most serious consequence of pulmonary overdistension is the passing of ________ bubbles from the alveoli into the blood stream and is commonly known as air embolism syndrome.

A personal dive computer can calculate the exact saturation state of our tissue

Hypoxia refers to the situation in which the amount of oxygen required by the cell is less than that available to the body

Every time we make a movement we use energy which asks more of our body, requiring a change in the ___________ in order to satisfy this new demand.

During this course all dives will be performed within the limits of non-decompression

The regulator enables the diver to breathe underwater. This part the equipment allows _________________.

Every time that our body undergoes a loss of heat it responds by trying to maintain a constant temperature in the central zone. This is:

If you ascend too quickly the nitrogen is cannot be released quickly enough thus contributing to the formation of bubbles in the divers __________

The rules for the prevention of decompression sickness can be divided as follows:

The pressure gauge shows the level of pressure in the ____________

During a dive careful attention needs to be paid to controlling the buoyancy, which should be_______________

Knifes must be used ________________________.

After commencing final descent check your buddies kit for any air leaks.

The change of dive letter group shows that the tissues have got rid of a part of the nitrogen during the interval on the surface. Now wanting to plan a second dive where the maximum depth must never exceed the previous one, in this case 14 metres for 25 minutes, the first thing is to find the minutes which penalise the dive and add them to the real dive time. To do this one follows down under letter C to the point corresponding to the maximum depth programmed, always calculating the higher figure. This cross check between letter C and the depth of 15 metres gives 21 minutes. This means that a dive of 25 minutes must be calculated at a total time of 46 minutes.

Suits are protective clothing, which help to minimise thermal exposure effects on the body; this is due to the high thermal conductability of water. How much times higher is the water than air?

The pressure of the cylinder must be checked by taking 1 breaths from each regulator whilst watching the contents gauge.

Always have a keeper on _________________ side of the weightbelt from the buckle.

A floating buoy marks the presence of divers underwater. In some countries dive law requires ______________ flag known as an “A FLAG”

It is very important before assembly a regulator check the condition of______________

The test of cylinder consists of checking inside and outside for corrosion and pressure resistance test using pressure of ________ higher than in normal use

our body contains cavities filled with gas that subjected with pressure are compensated for in two ways:

A divelog well kept is a document that shows the divers experience but is of much less value than a certificate.

The only effective treatment for air embolism syndrome is immediate recompression in a hyperbaric chamber and the administration of large quantity of __________ to make the blood more fluid and so reduce the risks of obstruction by the bubbles.

It is advisable to ________________ before entering the water.

The water pressure on the eardrum must be balanced by internal pressure so that it is not damaged. It is necessary to compensate ______________________, without waiting to feel the pain

On dive tables the time and depth of the dive are correlated.

By wearing a mask, an air space is placed between the diver’s eyes and the water so the objects can be_______________________

The function of the respiratory organs is to supply the body with the gasses surrounding it; this is done by its absorption into the blood through the ____________

All the divers should have at least a basic understanding of first aid and O2 administration.
