SDI was founded in 1994.

The first scuba training agency to mandate the use of computers for entry level divers was __________.

The branch of International Training that works with public safety diving is:

To maintain active membership, professional members of SDI/TDI/ ERDI must:

SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor must renew each year by October 31.

SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor candidates must be ____________ years old to enroll in the course.

SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructors may teach selected ________________ without direct supervision once they have received the appropriate training.

To pass the SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor exam the candidate must score a minimum of ________________.

During the open water scuba diver course the open water scuba diver instructor can review the ___ with the students.

It is recommended that once certified as an open water scuba diver instructor the individual remain current in ________________ and ________________.

The SDI Open Water Scuba Diver Instructor’s appearance is irrelevant when they are conducting a class.

_________ issues are handled by the Training Department at SDI World Headquarters.

If a member is expelled from SDI they can still teach select SDI courses.

The SDI Standards and Procedures Manual includes:

Risks associated with diving may include:

The ________________ has to show cause in a lawsuit.

It’s the responsibility of the plaintiff to show that the defendant (or defendants) had a duty to provide training or supervision in an atmosphere of reasonable safety.

The open water scuba diver instructor should always expect the ________________ when conducting diver training.

The medical questionnaire is part of the student training record folder.

Student training records must be preserved for a minimum of one (1) year.

Any item _____ on a student’s medical questionnaire must have written clearance by a qualified medical professional prior to participating in water exercises.

The liability release must be completed as it is written without any modifications.

All dive leaders around the world are required to carry professional liability insurance.

The _____ is the primary concern in the event of an incident.

In the event of an incident/accident, dive professionals should not provide any information to a third party beyond that of the local authorities.

Which Form should be sent to SDI Headquarters as soon as possible after an accident occurs?

When an accident occurs the dive leader should assign someone to:

Failure to report an accident to the insurance company/training agency may create an insurance coverage problem.

An Object underwater appears larger and closer.

An object weighing 97kg/214lb is placed in salt water. The object displaces 113L/4cf of water. What is the buoyancy of this object?

Total force exerted by all sources of pressure is referred to as absolute or intermediate pressure.

As depth increases, pressure also increases because of the additional weight of water pressing downward.

An imperial SPG displays a reading of 2250 psi. What would a metric SPG read if attached to the same cylinder?

A diver at a true depth of 30m/99ft in fresh water would see what reading on his depth gauge?

According to Boyle’s Law, increasing pressure on a fixed volume of gas will result in a(n) ___ in that volume of gas.

A cylinder that lasts a diver 22 minutes at the surface will last him how long at 20m/66ft?

A balloon is filled with 18L/.64cf of air at 4.7bar/atm. pressure. If the balloon is taken to 2.3bar/atm, what will the new volume be?

What will be the approximate change in the pressure inside a scuba cylinder taken from a surface temperature of 24C/75F to an underwater temperature of 13C/55F? (Use the quick estimate method for temperature and pressure)

A gas will move from an area of high concentration to an area of higher concentration.

A lack of oxygen is the primary trigger for the breathing mechanism.

Making a direct ascent to the surface after remaining too long at a given depth can cause bubbles to form in a diver’s tissues.

Older age and poor fitness are two factors that can lead a diver to Decompression Sickness.

Type II Decompression Sickness involves the central nervous system, respiratory system, and/or circulatory system.

While the signs and symptoms of __________________________ may be quite similar to those of Decompression Sickness, the onset tends to be more rapid and dramatic.

In some circumstances, sudden convulsions may be the first and only detectable symptom related to the onset of CNS oxygen toxicity.

Subcutaneous Emphysema is a lung over-pressure injury.

The first aid for lung over-expansion injuries is the same as that for:

The condition caused by failing to equalize increasing ambient pressure in an airspace is called a(n):

The field neurological exam should be repeated periodically, it is suggested to be repeated every 30 to 60 minutes while the patient is awaiting professional medical attention.

Recompression in a(n) _______ is the standard medical treatment for decompression illness.

A dive leader should be prepared to handle a potential injury at the dive site.

When a person learns there is an observable and permanent change in them.

Learning is strictly a function of hands-on education.

Each phase of teaching is as important as the next, and so is the order in which they are implemented.

Phrases of teaching may include

Students may take written examinations only.

Objectives inform the __ about what they will understand, be able to describe or be able to do at the conclusion of the presentation.

Motivation, Reinforcement and Response are all phases of Learning as they relate to Instructional Theory.

A presenter can gain the attention of the class by changing the _______________ of their voice during the presentation.

Online training does not replace the need for face-to-face interaction; it does however, give the dive professional a chance to refocus what they would normally do in the:

An OWSDI should wear clothing that is characteristic of the _______________ they represent.

The ______ form helps the OWSDI organize and formalize their classroom presentation.

Used as a teaching tool, PowerPoint® is both interactive and helps the presenter manage his ___.

Due to the possibility of changing weather, an alternate site is always good to have planned when considering the primary open water site.

The OWSDI can conduct the __________ for the open water scuba diver program.

A student must be eighteen (18) years of age to participate in the open water scuba diver program without parental approval.
