DIVE EQUIPMENT Open-circuit demand scuba is most commonly
used by recreationals divers, closed-circuit and semi-closed
rebreathers now available - answer True
DO NOT GET MOISTURE INTO THE CYLINDER. Water will cause
corrosion by combining with high pressure oxygen inside the
cylinder. - answer True
^^ Prolonged storage of air in a steel cylinder containing water can
be bad. Oxidation process will consum some of the oxygen in the air,
leaving higher nitrogen concentration - answer True
Always keep 300 psi of pressurized air in cylinder to prevent
moisture accum. Bad if slosh heard, whitish mist or odor. IF
COROSSION IN CYLINDER THIS CAN BE CLEANED BY TUMBLING - so
fill it with aluminum oxide chips or abrasive materials and rotate for
many hours removing rust - answer True

pressure rather than mechanical leverage - answer True
First stage coloring: green is corrosion, red is rust, black is carbon
dust - answer True
Modern regulator performance is defined in terms of maximum
resipiratory work level or breathing work - answer True
pressure gauges: surface cylinder pressure gauge to check air in a
cylinder above water w/ bleed valve. and sumbmersible - answer
True
If water is visible in cylinder pressure gauge don't use it till repaired
and tested - answer True
