Diving Conduct Slate

The diving conduct slate can be copies and laminated so that it can be carried on a dive in the pocket of your BCD.

 

Provides the tables for Level 1 A, B & C.

Beaufort Wind Definitions

The Beaufort Wind Scale definitions are universally used to define weather conditions at sea or land.

 

Useful in diving to decide what to expect for a given weather forecast.

Nitrox Diving (Mixed Gas)

For those qualified to dive with Nitrox mixes the following information will help determining the best mix for a given depth; the maximum safe diving depth for a known mix; and the equivalent air diving depth for a known mix, (enabling the use of Standard Dive Tables or Computers not programmed for Nitrox).

 

Refer also to Oxygen Toxicity for more information to diving with a rich oxygen mix.

First Aid

Useful information on what to look for and what to do in the case of diving accidents.

Deep Stops

Information and background for the use of deeps stops when diving. This may be a topic that you can discuss with the Diving Officer or one of the Dive Leaders.
