In any case, diving is a VERY DANGEROUS activity, THE USE OF THE SCOOTER
IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE RISK OF IMMERSION.
19.2. OVERHEAD OR CONFINED ENVIRONMENTS
Dives in such environments, where obstacles to movement are present, either due
to the ambient itself for dispersed material in the dive area (e.g. debris, ropes, weed
or animals) or confining the manouvre space (caves, ice layers, wrecks), are
already VERY DANGEROUS.
INCORRECT use of Scooter in such environments INCREASES THE DIVING
HAZARDS.
Diving in such environments requires ADEQUATE TRAINING by QUALIFIED
AGENCIES.
The diver must be able to exit the overhead environment without the use of the SCOOTER.
19.3. MUDDY OR SUSPENSION - FILLED ENVIRONMENTS
These include those environments, obstructed or otherwise, in which visibility
may suddenly fall to zero due to the suspension that is created by moving the bed
sediment. Dives in these environments are already VERY DANGEROUS.
INCORRECT use of Scooter in such environments INCREASES THE DIVING
HAZARDS..
Diving in such environments requires ADEQUATE TRAINING by QUALIFIED
AGENCIES.
19.4. DIVER POSITION DURING THE DIVE
-
The diver’s head or other body parts should never be beyond the propeller
conveyor (5) (see fig. 1) where flow is suctioned.
- Do not direct the flow from the conveyor at you. This hampers the propulsion
drive and could move your equipment away from you.
- Do not ride the SCOOTER.
- Do not attach the SCOOTER to your tanks or their supports in any way.
- Do not attach the SCOOTER to your body, legs, arms or other parts in any way.
- Do not use more than one SCOOTER simultaneously.
- Do not start the SCOOTER with body parts other than your right hand.
- Do not direct propeller flow at the sea bottom to avoid raising sand or mud.
