Question 1
A saturation diving living chamber is pressurized to 100 msw (11 bar absolute pressure). If the chamber breathing gas mixture contains 4.0% oxygen by volume, what is the partial pressure of oxygen (ppO2) inside the chamber?
Correct Answer:
0.44 bar
Question 2
What is the primary physiological reason helium is substituted for nitrogen in breathing gas mixtures for deep commercial saturation diving?
Correct Answer:
To prevent nitrogen narcosis and reduce respiratory gas density at extreme depths
Question 3
Under UK HSE Diving Regulations and IMCA guidelines, what is the maximum allowable partial pressure of carbon dioxide (ppCO2) in a saturation living chamber during routine operations?
Correct Answer:
0.005 bar (5 mbar)
Question 4
High Pressure Nervous Syndrome (HPNS) is primarily triggered by which combination of factors during deep saturation diving?
Correct Answer:
Rapid compression rate to depths beyond 150 metres while breathing heliox
Question 5
What is the primary mechanism of heat loss for a commercial saturation diver working in water at 150 msw breathing unheated heliox?
Correct Answer:
Respiratory convective and evaporative heat loss from breathing dense, conductive heliox
