Skills
1. Pre-dive checks
• Specific Unit Checklist
• Verify diluent and oxygen (O
2
) cylinder contents using appropriate gas analyzers
• Unit build-up
• Scrubber canister filling
• Breathing loop check including mouthpiece one way valves and positive and negative check
• Sensor calibration in oxygen, with verification in air
• 5 minute pre-breathe
• Stage cylinder rigging
• KISS Sidekick: unit rigging, diluent/oxygen cylinder rigging for best work of breathing/how to resolve incorrect rigging
2. Demonstrate correct pre-dive planning procedures including
• Limits based on system performance
• Limits based on oxygen exposures at chosen PO
2
levels
• Limits based on nitrogen absorption at planned depth and PO
2
set point
• Appropriate selection of decompression conservatism / gradient factors for the planned dive
• Thermal constraints
3. Underwater verification
• Stop at 3-6 meters/9-19 feet on descent for leak bubble check
• Counterlung & Over Pressure Valve adjustment, if necessary
4. Emergency procedures: demonstrate appropriate response to the following; each dive should have a minimum of 2 “diver emergencies”
that the student must react to.
• Properly execute a recovery from a system failure and conclude the dive and decompression on open circuit gases carried
• Gas shutdowns and loss of gas, correct choice and switching to off board gases
• Broken hoses, catastrophic failure scenarios
• Flooded absorbent canister
• Cell errors
5. Demonstrate competence managing three (3) bailout cylinders, including drop and recovery while maintaining position in the water
column
6. Ability to manage multiple failures in adverse conditions
