  • Supervised Dive
    EFFECTIVE 1 March 2009 MINIMUM COURSE CONTENT FOR Supervised Diver Certifi cation As Approved By ©2009, Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. (RSTC) Recreational Scuba Training Council, Inc. RSTC Coordinator P.O. Box 11083 Jacksonville, FL 32239 USA Recreational Scuba Training Council (RSTC) Minimum Course Content for Supervised Diver Certifi cation 1. Scope and Purpose This standard provides minimum course content requirements for instruction leading to super- vised diver certifi cation in recreational diving with scuba (self-contained underwater breathing appa- ratus). The intent of the standard is to prepare a non diver to the point that he can enjoy scuba diving in open water under controlled conditions—that is, under the supervision of a diving professional (instructor or certifi ed assistant – see defi nitions) and to a limited depth. These requirements do not defi ne full, autonomous certifi cation and should not be confused with Open Water Scuba Certifi cation. (See Recreational Scuba Training Council Minimum Course Content for Open Water Scuba Certifi ca- tion.) The Supervised Diver Certifi cation Standards are a subset of the Open Water Scuba Certifi cation standards. Moreover, as part of the supervised diver course content, supervised divers are informed of the limitations of the certifi cation and urged to continue their training to obtain open water diver certifi - cation. Within the scope of supervised diver training, the requirements of this standard are meant to be com- prehensive, but general in nature. That is, the standard presents all the subject areas essential for su- pervised diver certifi cation, but it does not give a detailed listing of the skills and information encom- passed by each area.

  • Buddy Breathing
    BUDDY BREATHING Double hose diving involves the development of skills that are exclusive to the regulator itself. These necessary skills are a result of simple physics inherent in the water environment and the mechanics of the double hose system. A competent diver must be able to perform these skills flawlessly to insure the safety of yourself and your dive buddy. Of paramount importance is the skill of Buddy Breathing. Depicted in almost all Sea Hunt episodes, along with hose cutting, was Mike Nelson buddy breathing. A close observation of this skill in the TV show illustrates the basic procedure very nicely. As with any diving emergency, the lost of breathing gas is critical. To share a dive buddy's supply may be a life saving endeavor. The first step is to make the donor of his air supply aware of an out-of- air situation. The basic hand signals have not changed throughout diving instruction evolution. The diver needing air ("needer") makes the two recognized gestures, 1st, drawing a finger across the throat, and 2nd, putting a hand to your mouthpiece. The two divers face each other and should hold onto the other's tank harness. It is best that each diver uses his left hand to hold himself in position, thus leaving his right hand free to manipulate the "live" mouthpiece back and forth. The "donor" must keep control of the regulator mouthpiece at all times. The "donor" diver takes a breath, removes his mouthpiece and with his right hand, and turns it down and around 180o to the "needer".

Even with such advances and the use of proven engineered diving systems, as humans continue to strive for deeper and longer dives, significant risk to all personnel is inherent. Minimization and mitigation of such risk is vital to meet the need for continued use of manned-diving systems to perform specific underwater tasks.
