If 2 liters of air are needed in your buoyancy compensator to maintain neutral
buoyancy at 10m in the ocean, what will happen to your buoyancy if you ascend 3 m
without deflating:
Your positive buoyancy will increase
There will be no change in buoyancy
Your negative buoyancy will increase
You will stay neutral no matter if you ascend or descend - ANSWER: Your positive
buoyancy will increase
Breathing gas consumption:
Varies inversely with depth
Increases as depth increases
Decreases as depth increases
Remains the same as depth increases - ANSWER: Increases as depth increases

If you have difficulty equalizing pressure in your ears/sinuses while descending, you
should:
Ascend 2 meters and force equalization
Stop and wait until the discomfort subsides
Ascend until the pressure is relieved and then attempt equalization
Return to the surface and re-initiate the descent - ANSWER: Ascend until the
pressure is relieved and then attempt equalization
A lung rupture can occur with over-pressurization in water as shallow as:
5.0m
1.2m
3.5m
4.0m - ANSWER: 1.2m
The recommended method to avoid sinus squeezes and reverse blocks is to:
Ascend and descend slowly to allow gradual equalization
Dive only when your sinuses are healthy and clear
Only use decongestants that do not produce side effects
Forcibly equalize the pressure in your sinuses every few meters - ANSWER: Dive only
when your sinuses are healthy and clear
