| maximum working limit for mixed gas diving | 380 fsw |
| When are exceptional exposure dives authorized for mixed gas? | Only at commanding officer's discretion in an emergency (planned exceptional exposure requires approval by OPNAVINST 3150.27) |
| How long does a diver have to wait to make a second mixed gas dive on a no-decompression dive? | 12 hours |
| How long does a diver have to wait to make a second mixed gas dive on a decompression dive? | 18 hours |
| To minimize pulmonary O2 toxicity effects, a diver should take a ________ break after ________ consecutive days of diving. | 1 day 4 |
| Surface Supplied Mixed Gas side - 1 diver | 12 people: Diving Officer MDV UMO Sup IT/DMT Diver Tender Standby Standby tender comms/logs console rack winch |
| Surface Supplied Mixed Gas side - 2 diver | 14 people: Diving Officer MDV UMO Sup IT/DMT Diver 1 Tender 1 Diver 2 Tender 2 Standby Standby tender Comms/logs Console Rack Winch |
| When can master diver serve as diving officer? | designated in writing by the CO. No one person may serve in more than one position |
| When is UMo required on dive station | Should be present on dive station Required during all planned exceptional exposure dives and dives exceeding normal working limits |
| When is diving officer not required? | conducting no-decompression training dives |
| When is EGS required? | always |
| What is EGS charged with? | Bottom mix, unless bottom mix contains less than 16% O2. In this case EGS mixture should contain 15-17% O2. |
| When diving mixed gas in water temp below ______ degrees F, keeping the diver warm is a life support consideration. | 40 F |
| All mixed gas divers must have ______ hrs of sleep in a 24 hour period | 8 hrs |
| Following a no decompression dive, how long must a diver wait before ascending to altitude? | 12 hours |
| Following a decompression dive, how long must a diver wait before ascent to altitude? | 24 hours |
