Noaa Diving Program Unit Diving NOAA DIVING PROGRAM UNIT DIVING SUPERVISOR Operational Guidelines Revised 22 September 2015 Andrew W. David, Fisheries LODO A Message from the NOAA Diving Control and Safety Board The Unit Diving Supervisor is the most important position in the NOAA Diving Program. You are the final arbiter for all diving related activities at your unit: when dives occur, how the dives are executed, and who goes in the water. You are also the conduit between the NOAA Diving Control and Safety Board and your divers, explaining policies and procedures down the chain and elevating concerns and needs up the chain. Many things will be required of you as UDS. Some are tangible; others are intangible. The tangible items are listed in the following pages – which reports you need to complete, the forms required for a range of situations, etc. However the intangible requirements are far more important and impossible to define in a manual. These skills are acquired over time, and require diligence, constant attention, and the avoidance of complacency. Your decision making skills define your performance as a UDS. People’s lives depend on the decisions you make. The toughest part of the job will be to maintain safety as your highest priority and not let friendships or pressure from project leaders or supervisors exert undue influence. You are not alone in this position, your LODO/SODO and the Safety Board will back you up on tough calls. Use these resources often. The remainder of this manual is devoted to the tangible items you will use to administer the UDS duties. The UDS Manual begins with descriptions of the most common activities you will undertake as a UDS (e.g., how to file a dive plan, how to select Divemasters). Each report, form, or checklist is included in this manual and prefaced with a description of when and how it should be used. These documents were current at the time this manual was written, however please refer to the NDP website for the most recent versions. While there is a lot of information in this manual, it is not meant as a substitute for the standards, policies and procedures in the NOAA Diving Standards and Safety Manual (NDSSM). You should have a copy and be familiar with the NDSSM and refer to it when you are uncertain how to proceed with any particular issue. The NDSSM is revised periodically, so policies that are drafted between revisions are codified through the OMAO 0300 series. These official policies are produced by the NOAA Diving Control and Safety Board (NDCSB) and become effective after the Director, OMAO signs them. The OMAO 0300 policies can be found on the NOAA Diving Program (NDP) website. Another resource you should utilize is your LODO or SODO. Remember your LODO or SODO works for you; they represent you on the NDCSB. If you have a problem or concern, raise it to your LODO or SODO.

  • Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification
    Requirements for Scientific Diver Certification The steps to become a Certified Scientific Diver at the University of Washington (UW) are outlined below. 1. Obtain sponsorship for scientific diving by an appropriate University department or unit. Applicants who do not have a departmental sponsor and want to learn to be scientific divers can complete the Scientific Diver Course at UW Friday Harbor Labs. This course meets the requirements for full Scientific Diver certification as outlined below, and includes research projects for students to receive dive training. 2. Read the UW Diving Safety Manual. UW divers must understand and follow the safety, procedural, and medical requirements outlined in the manual and submit a signed copy of the Dive Manual Acknowledgement form. 3. Complete and submit the Diving Registration Form to the UW Diving Safety Officer (DSO). This form must be signed by the department official sponsoring the diver (e.g., principal investigator, department chair) . Submission of this form is a onetime requirement while at the UW. The form is resubmitted if any diver information changes. 4. Complete and submit documentation of recreational SCUBA diver training to UW DSO. Diving applicants must have completed a recreational SCUBA diving training course as a pre-requisite for scientific diving certification at the UW. Recreational SCUBA diving training must be provided by a nationally recognized organization (e.g., PADI, NAUI, SSI, IANTD, TDI). 5. Obtain Diving Medical Clearance from the UW Employee Health Center. Applicants will contact the UW Employee Health Center (EHC) to obtain necessary information for completing a dive physical and for transfer of medical records.

The PSDA board of directors provided expertise involving public safety diving in sharing best practices and technical knowledge. A special thanks to Chuck Elgin, North Carolina Underwater Response Team, for his dedication and hard work assisting in the development of this publication. This guide is intended to be consistent with all existing OSHA standards; therefore, if an area is considered by the reader to be inconsistent with a standard, then the OSHA standard should be followed.

  • Diving Air Compressor - Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia Diving Air Compressor from Wikipedia, the Free Encyclopedia
    2/8/2014 Diving air compressor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Diving air compressor From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia A diving air compressor is a gas compressor that can provide breathing air directly to a surface-supplied diver, or fill diving cylinders with high-pressure air pure enough to be used as a breathing gas. A low pressure diving air compressor usually has a delivery pressure of up to 30 bar, which is regulated to suit the depth of the dive. A high pressure diving compressor has a delivery pressure which is usually over 150 bar, and is commonly between 200 and 300 bar. The pressure is limited by an overpressure valve which may be adjustable. A small stationary high pressure diving air compressor installation Contents 1 Machinery 2 Air purity 3 Pressure 4 Filling heat 5 The bank 6 Gas blending 7 References 8 External links A small scuba filling and blending station supplied by a compressor and Machinery storage bank Diving compressors are generally three- or four-stage-reciprocating air compressors that are lubricated with a high-grade mineral or synthetic compressor oil free of toxic additives (a few use ceramic-lined cylinders with O-rings, not piston rings, requiring no lubrication). Oil-lubricated compressors must only use lubricants specified by the compressor's manufacturer. Special filters are used to clean the air of any residual oil and water(see "Air purity"). Smaller compressors are often splash lubricated - the oil is splashed around in the crankcase by the impact of the crankshaft and connecting A low pressure breathing air rods - but larger compressors are likely to have a pressurized lubrication compressor used for surface supplied using an oil pump which supplies the oil to critical areas through pipes diving at the surface control point and passages in the castings.
