m/33 ft. The air space would... -Ans-Become half the size it was at the surface
If I am not able to equalize my body air spaces, it may be because I have... -Ans-A cold, allergy or
another medical problem
If my ears or sinuses hurt while I am descending, it usually means... -Ans-I am feeling a squeeze and
need to equalize
The best place for me to position an alternate air source is... -Ans-In the triangle area formed by my chin
and the lower corners of my rib cage
Lung overexpansion injuries can be caused by... -Ans-Holding my breath while scuba diving
If my cylinder of air lasts 60 minutes while I am at the surface breathing normally, assuming all else is
the same, how long will it last at 20 m/66 ft breathing normally? -Ans-20 minutes
