Depth • Deepest depth reached during the dive in metres
Descent rate • Maximum is 30m/minute
Ascent rate • Maximum is 15m/minute up to 6m
• Take one minute from 6m to the surface
Ascent check depth • At 6m pause to check dive time and depth
Dive time • From leaving surface, to arriving at 6m
Explain a dive using the terms Depth, Descent rate, The dive time refers to the time it takes from leaving the surface at a decent rate
Ascent rate, Ascent check depth and dive time of 30m/minute until the planned depth (deepest depth for that dive) to arriving at
the 6m ascent check depth where there is a pause to check dive time and depth
where the ascent rate changes from 15m/minute to 1 minute to ascend from 6m to
the surface.
what is the maximum depth for ocean divers? 20m
