  • Shots, Uses, Deployment and Recovery
    SHOTS AND DECOMPRESSION RIGS – CONSTRUCTION, DEPLOYMENT AND RECOVERY SHOT USE AND CONSTRUCTION A shot offers the simplest and most direct route from the surface to the seabed. In it’s simplest form is consists of a buoy, line and weight. The buoyancy of the buoy should be sufficient to support the weight. The shot line should be of sufficient strength to support the shot weight, long enough to reach the seabed and be sufficiently thick to aid recovery. Once deployed the shot also offers a surface reference point or datum point from which searches may be conducted. A shot line in some form also offers a stable platform for decompression stops. It is possible to use a boat’s anchor as a shot line however this has several drawbacks. Firstly a cover boat should be mobile at all times. The datum line will not be vertical and the line will alter with the movement of the boat. If the site is environmentally sensitive it may be inadvisable to anchor. As a result of the nature of shot construction it can be seen that the shot line must always be significantly longer than the proposed depth. Once the shot is deployed the excess line will form an angle to the seabed in a current or offer potential entanglement in slack water. There are several ways of tensioning a shot line. Top Tensioned Shot This shot will adjust with the rise and fall of the tide and offers a near vertical descent and ascent. However this configuration is not ideal in strong current or wind.

  • 2012-13 Swimming Rules Book
    2012-13 NFHS SWIMMING & DIVING AND WATER POLO ® RULES BOOK ROBERT B. GARDNER, Publisher Becky Oakes, Editor NFHS Publications To maintain the sound traditions of this sport, encourage sportsmanship and minimize the inherent risk of injury, the National Federation of State High School Associations writes playing rules for varsity competition among student-athletes of high school age. High school coaches, officials and administrators who have knowledge and experience regarding this particular sport and age group volunteer their time to serve on the rules committee. Member associations of the NFHS independently make decisions regarding compliance with or modification of these playing rules for the student-athletes in their respective states. NFHS rules are used by education-based and non-education-based organizations serving children of varying skill levels who are of high school age and younger. In order to make NFHS rules skill-level and age-level appropriate, the rules may be modified by any orga- nization that chooses to use them. Except as may be specifically noted in this rules book, the NFHS makes no recommendation about the nature or extent of the modifications that may be appropriate for children who are younger or less skilled than high school varsity athletes. Every individual using these rules is responsible for prudent judgment with respect to each contest, athlete and facility, and each athlete is responsible for exercising caution and good sportsmanship. These rules should be interpreted and applied so as to make reasonable accommodations for disabled athletes, coaches and officials. © 2012, This rules book has been copyrighted by the National Federation of State High School Associations with the United States Copyright Office.

  • Use of Reels in Diving
    USE OF REELS IN DIVING There have been several different types of reel developed for both commercial and recreational use. This guide is compiled to aid in the use of reels in two distinct techniques, those of use with Surface Marker Buoys and as a Distance Line. THE REEL The simplest from of reel has a spool, line and a winding mechanism with the extras of handle, attachments, locking mechanism and line guides. Reels vary in both size and construction and can be “home made” or purchased at varying costs. There are however a few simple but important points to be aware of. The spool should be of sufficient size to hold the desired length of line, be free running and offer a manageable winding system. The line should be light in weight, strong enough (about 40 -60 lbs breaking strain) for it’s purpose and thin enough to cause minimal drag in water. Home made reels can be manufactured fairly easily from a variety of materials. The spool and handle, which need to be negatively buoyant, may be of wood or plastic and may incorporate a simple locking mechanism. The photograph depicts a power cord line which though very strong, would give considerable drag in the water. This reel has been designed for distance line penetration use. Manufactured reels are generally either plastic or metal in construction with a handle sufficiently large for a dive glove to hold comfortably. The reel shown is one of the most common with a very rugged construction, large winding mechanism and stout attachments on both line and handle.

  • Diving Operations
    J206 Diving Operations GUIDANCE NOTE Diving Operations Code: J206 Issue: A INTRODUCTION The main set of regulations that applies to diving are the Diving at Work Regulations (DWR). The Diving at Work Regulations cover all dives when one or more divers are at work, whether employed or self-employed. The regulations apply to everyone: from the client, for whom the work is being done, to the diver undertaking the work. Everyone involved has a responsibility to take measures to ensure the health and safety of those taking part in the diving project, so far as is reasonably practicable. A “diving project” is the term used for the overall diving job, whether it lasts for 2 hours or 2 months. Depending on the size of the diving project it can be made up of a number of “diving operations”. A diving operation is the portion of the diving project which can be safely supervised by one person. A supervisor must be appointed for each diving operation. As the diving contractor, this company has the main responsibility under the Diving at Work Regulations to ensure a safe diving project. The diving contractor should ensure that the diving project is planned, conducted and managed in a safe way. All diving operations shall be governed by this company’s diving rules, the implementation of which shall be the responsibility of the appointed dive supervisor. The dive supervisor shall confirm their understanding and acceptance of the dive rules in writing. The dive rules are detailed within this procedure for reference and shall be displayed and explained to those involved in dive operations as part of the pre-dive briefing.

  • 3.8 Marine Mammals
    3.8 Marine Mammals GOA NAVY TRAINING ACTIVITIES FINAL SUPPLEMENTAL EIS/OEIS JULY 2016 3.8 MARINE MAMMALS MARINE MAMMALS SYNOPSIS The United States Department of the Navy previously considered training in the Alaska Training Areas and the Gulf of Alaska for all potential stressors and their potential impacts to marine mammals in the analysis as presented in the 2011 Environmental Impact Statement (EIS)/Overseas EIS (OEIS). Since that document was completed, there have been improvements made in the modeling of potential impacts from acoustic stressors as well as the collection of new marine mammal data, new acoustic impact modeling methods, and new impact thresholds and criteria, which have been incorporated into the analysis presented in this Supplemental EIS/OEIS. This Supplemental EIS/OEIS, therefore, focuses on a re-analysis of potential impacts on marine mammals from acoustic stressors during training in the Temporary Military Activities Area portion of the 2011 GOA Final EIS/OEIS Study Area. Acoustic stressors analyzed in this Supplemental EIS/OEIS are identical to those analyzed in the 2011 GOA Final EIS/OEIS and include the following: Sonar and other active acoustic sources Explosives Proposed Action Summary of Impacts The use of sonar and active acoustic sources and explosives is not expected to result in mortality to marine mammals; In general, long-term consequences for individuals or populations of marine mammals would not be expected. Pursuant to the Marine Mammal Protection Act (MMPA), use of sonar and other active acoustic sources and explosives may result in Level B harassment of certain marine mammals and may result in Level A harassments of Dall’s porpoises.
