,2: Exhaling.
3: Monitoring your depth to avoid accidental ascents while breath holding.
4: Both the first and third answers are correct.

Among the best ways to prevent decompression sickness (DCS):
1: Remain well within your dive computer's no-decompression limit.
2: Ascend no faster than the rate allowed by the dive computer.
3: Make a safety stop of between three and five minutes at a depth of 3-6
m/10-20 ft.
4: All of the above.

outside.
4: Both the first and second answers are correct.
(Ans- So that you can keep the pressure inside the mask equal to the

Among the limitations of full foot fins:
1: They are not well suited for colder-water diving.
2: There are no full-foot fins sufficiently powerful for use with scuba
