NAUI InstructorHenry's Law - answer The amount of gas dissolved in a liquid is directly related to its partial pressure above the liquid.
Relationship of gas solubility and temperature - answer Solubility of gas decreases with increasing temperature
(INVERSELY RELATED)
Inert gas loading in relation to body tissue - answer Body tissue absorbs more inert gas as depth increases
Benefit of Dive Computer compared to Dive Tables - answer Gives the diver credit for shallow portions of the dive
Cold or Strenuous dive planning rule - answer Use the next greater dive TIME to determine letter group
Equilibrium as it relates to nitrogen in the body - answer When the pressure of nitrogen is balanced between air and your body
Haldane surfacing ratio - answer Originally 2:1 - Updated with new research to 1.58:1
Tissue compartment half-time - answer The time required for the compartment to absorb or eliminate half of the pressure difference between what it started with and the ambient pressure
M-Value of tissue - answer The maximum allowable nitrogen (inert gas) pressure in a specific tissue
NAUI recommendation for diving while pregnant - answer Do not dive while pregnant
Haldane tissue compartments - answer Haldane - 5 compartments Modern Computers - Apx. 16 compartments
Tissue compartment - answer Mathematical model consisting of multiple theoretical tissues and their relative halftimes Fast compartments - short halftimes
Slow compartments - long halftimes Ascent rate at altitude - answer Slower than at sea level
Extend dive times with gas by - answer Decreased nitrogen and increased oxygen in
breathing gas
RNT - answer Residual Nitrogen Time
Tme already spent at the repetitive dive depth (dive tables)
Procedure for missed decompression stops - answer Remain out of the water, rest, breathe 100% oxygen, drink fluids, be monitored for signs of decompression illness, transported to a hyperbaric facility if symptoms arise

NAUI recommended minimum SIT time - answer 60 mins
Dives shallower than 40 ft are considered how deep on NAUI Dive Tables - answer 40 ft
How long after diving should you wait to fly - answer 24 hrs
