answers new update
, Under what three circumstances should you conduct a buoyancy check before diving? - answer
1) Any time you change your dive gear configuration.
2) Any time you change dive environments (especially fresh to salt or vice-versa.)
3) Any time you haven't been diving for a while.
Based on basic weighting guidelines, how much weight do you need for the Peak Performance
Buoyancy Adventure Dive? - answer 20lbs
What five steps will help you conduct a buoyancy check at the surface? - answer 1) Enter the
water fully equipped for the dive.
2) Go to water too deep to stand in (or at least deep enough that you can easily raise your feet
off the bottom) and completely deflate your BCD. If you're using a dry suit, open the automatic
exhaust valve all the way.
3) Hang vertical and motionless holding a normal breath.
4) Add/subtract weight until you float at eye level while holding a normal breath.
5) As your final check, you should slowly sink while you exhale.
How does your buoyancy change due to consuming the air in your cylinder? - answer Your
buoyancy will increase as you consume air, no matter what type of tank you are using.
What three variables require you to adjust your buoyancy as needed? - answer 1) As you use air
from your tank.
2) As you descend as pressure compresses your wet suit or the air in your dry suit.
3) As you ascend as your wet suit/dry suit air reexpands.
When should you use your BCD to adjust your buoyancy? - answer Only to adjust for air
consumption, descending, or ascending, or when at the surface to float.
