Answer to Question 1

When planning a dive operation, a comprehensive safety and health assessment must be conducted. The following areas should be assessed: 1) diving mode; 2) conditions on the surface and underwater; 3) hazards on the surface and underwater; 4) supply of breathing gas; 5) supply of breathing gas reserves; 6) thermal protection; 7) diving equipment, tools, and systems; 8) Physical fitness of all dive team members (fitness level appropriate to the assignment, physical impairments from injuries or illnesses, etc.); 9) assignments for each member of the dive team; 10) repetitive dive designation or residual inert gas status for all dive members; 11) decompression and treatment procedures; and 12) applicable emergency procedures.

Answer to Question 2
