Open Water Dives

Open water skills will include properly analyzing gas mixtures, demonstrating pre-dive planning, and executing the planned dives within the limits, planning for contingency situations and problems, safety stops, proper deployment of lift bag and reel, simulated emergency gas sharing, and deployment of backup regulator or bail-out SCUBA system. Maximum training depths will not exceed 150 FSW.

Equipment Requirements

Mask, fins, buoyancy compensating device with power inflator and proper lift for equipment configuration, weights, cylinders properly cleaned and marked as required for EAN use and appropriate to air consumption and dive plan, regulators properly marked and cleaned as required for EAN use, submersible pressure gauge, depth gauge and bottom timer and/or dive computer, exposure suit proper for diving environment, reel adequate for maximum planned depth, 50 pound minimum rated lift bag, and slate.
