EPTH AND OPERATING ENVIRONMENTS
DO NOT EXCEED THE MAXIMUM OPERATING DEPTH!!!
The dive is already VERY DANGEROUS at that depth.
INCORRECT USE OF THE ADV
IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES DIVING HAZARDS.
It is important to remember that maximum ADV operating depth refers to the ADV in
perfect working conditions. Collisions, scratches or deformations significantly reduce this
limit.
16.1 O
BSTRUCTED ENVIRONMENTS
Dives in such environments are already
VERY DANGEROUS.
INCORRECT USE OF THE ADV IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE DIVING
HAZARDS.
DIVING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRES ADEQUATE TRAINING BY
QUALIFIED AGENCIES
16.2 M
UDDY 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
THE ADV IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE DIVING HAZARDS.
DIVING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRES ADEQUATE TRAINING BY QUALIFIED
AGENCIES.
17 P
OSITIONS AND BEHAVIOURS TO BE AVOIDED WHEN DIVING
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 thwarts the
propulsion drive and could move your equipment away from you.
Do not ride the ADV.
Do not attach the ADV to your tanks or their supports in any way.
Do not attach the ADV to your body, legs, arms or other parts in any way.
Do not use more than one ADV simultaneously.
Do not start the ADV with body parts other than your right hand.
When using the ADV, always keep your left hand far from the propeller, better is resting
against your body, on your side, or on your right hand to more comfortably control the
ADV.
Do not direct propeller flow at the sea bottom to avoid raising sand or mud.
