It's easy to get lost under water
Your depth dictates how long you can stay under water
at night, it is difficult to calculate your depth
It notifies you when you are close to running out of air
Comments
No. 19 - If a diver is unresponsive it could be due to a number of factors. E.G. O2 Toxicity. Bringing him to the surface would exacerbate the problem. One should give him another source of breathing a weaker mix, stabilise the diver (let any convulsion pass) then take him to the surface.
Please edit that question.
on number 18 you should include the depth in feet as well as meters
I disagree with number 19 - "bring the diver immediately to the surface." Depending on the situation, you may not be able to safely ascend immediately to the surface yourself. I was taught early on that we don't want to create a second victim - your own safety has to come first.
