During the club meeting you overhear Jane and Dave discussing dive leading. Jane says if you are a Sports Diver diving with an Advanced Diver who doesn't know the site but you know it well, you can lead. Dave says that passing on good diving practice is an instructor's job, not a dive leader's. Who is correct? See Student Workbook p99

Both of them
Neither of them
During the overheard conversation from the previous question, Jane also says that the Dive Manager decides the maximum depth of each buddy pair's dive. Dave says that only Dive Leaders and above can lead Ocean Divers. Who is correct? See Student Workbook p99

Jane's and Dave's overheard conversation from the previous questions continues. Jane reckons that if you always dive with the same buddy, and you both always use the same kit, you don't need to do a buddy check. Dave insists that the dive leader should check that their buddy has an adequate breathing gas supply, no matter how highly qualified and experienced the buddy is: even a National Instructor! Who is correct? See Student Workbook pp99-100

Well-trained Sports Divers should not suffer from poor buoyancy control, dangling pieces of equipment, incompetence in using new equipment, or kicking up silt due to bad finning or trim. But if a dive leader did exhibit ANY of these faults on a normal dive, what effect would it have on their buddy? See Student Workbook p102
Elevated risk of buoyant ascent
Elevated risk of entanglement
Risk of damage to the environment
Loss of confidence in the their dive leader
All of the above
What must you do if you recover wreckage? See Student Workbook p103
Report it to the Diving Officer
Report it to the Police
Report it to the Receiver of Wreck
Nothing, unless it is less than 100 years old
Throw it back, all wreck belongs to someone and to removing it will result in prosecution if you are caught
You overhear Dave and Jane again. Jane reckons that many experienced divers are overcautious: you should push them to do dives that they think are a bit too challenging for them, otherwise they never improve. Dave thinks that it is best to extend your own experience gradually. Who is right? See Student Workbook pp103-104

Closed circuit rebreathers ________. See Student Workbook pp104-106
Never emit bubbles
Emit bubbles during the ascent
Require excess gas to be vented off periodically, at all stages of the dive
Provide a constant nitrox mix throughout the dive
Look after themselves
What are the advantages of closed circuit rebreathers compared with open circuit equipment? See Student Workbook p106
Which of the following are acceptable when an open circuit (OC) diver is diving with a rebreather (RB) diver? See Student Notes pp106-107
A Dive Leader using a rebreather takes a Sports Diver on a depth progression dive to 35 metres
The dive plan must be based on the decompression schedule and MOD of the OC diver
If this is the first time the OC diver has dived with an RB buddy, the RB diver must explain how to perform a rescue
The OC diver must be able to recognise underwater problems pertinent to RB divers
All of the above
