Instructor Guide Appendix Other Delivery Content, Tec 40-5 Study assignment: Tec 40 Handout 5 Learning Objectives 1. How do you use desk top decompression software to plan a decompression dive based on a single gas, with no more than 10 minutes of decompression and a maximum depth of 40 metres/130 feet? 2. How do you use decompression software to determine your gas supply requirements? 3. What is the minimum reserve gas you should have on a technical dive? 4. How do you set your dive computer to follow the plan you made with your decompres- sion software? 5. How does your team stay together when using dive computers to provide decompression information? 6. What limits tell you it is time to end your dive? 7. How do you calculate turn pressure? 8. How do you account for your oxygen exposure when using a gas with a higher oxygen content than you set your dive computer for? 9. What do you do if your desk top decompression software and dive computer differ signif- icantly in their decompression information, or if your gas requirement calculations appear to be off? A. Starting with Tec 40 Practical Application Two, you’ll begin planning decompres- sion dives using desk top decompression software. 1. Your dive planning will continue throughout the course and be the basis for simulated and actual decompression dives you make. 2. The methods you learn also form the foundation for all your subsequent technical dive planning. However, gas and decompression planning becomes more complex as you go deeper and have longer decompression.
