Extractions: UA Scientific Diving Program SECTION 1.00 GENERAL POLICY The purpose of these Scientific Diving Standards is to ensure that all scientific diving is conducted in a manner that will maximize protection of scientific divers from accidental injury and/or illness, and to set forth standards for training and certification which will allow a working reciprocity between UA and other American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS)-recognized scientific diving programs. Fulfillment of the purposes shall be consistent with the furtherance of research and safety. This document sets minimal standards for the establishment of the UA scientific diving program, the organization for the conduct of this program, and the basic regulations and procedures for safety in scientific diving operations. It also establishes a framework for reciprocity between AAUS organizational members which adhere to these minimum standards. This manual been modified from the procedures developed and written by the AAUS by compiling the policies set forth in the diving manuals of several university, private, and governmental scientific diving programs. These programs share a common heritage with the scientific diving program at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO). Adherence to the SIO standards has proven both feasible and effective in protecting the health and safety of scientific divers since 1954.

Most research into what employers want from new employees revealstwo essential elements - communication and good attitude. 2. What is a structured work placement? Ans. In structured work placements, the marine teacher runs classes insome of the basic marine skills at school and then the students spend timewith the employer to learn some of these skills that are more appropriatelytaught in the workplace and practice and improve skills taught in the classroom. 3. What does the word 'competencies' refer to? Give an example of onecompetency. Ans. The types of skills that are to be learned are grouped into competencieswhich are recognised in all states by the marine industry. For example oneof the competencies required to operate a marine radio is to: switch on,tune and operate VHF, HF and 27MHz marine radio transceivers. 4. What goes into a logbook? Ans. Training competencies are then recorded in your training logbookby a workplace assessor.

Extractions: Description: La Jolla Shores (8200 Camino del Oro) is a sandy beach approximately one mile long, adjacent to a residential area. In summer, waves at this beach are usually the most gentle of all San Diego beaches, although rip currents may still be strong at times. For this reason, many novice scuba classes are held at La Jolla Shores. Kellogg Park, a grassy area, is located behind the main lifeguard station and is ideal for picnicking. A wide cement boardwalk parallels a portion of the beach between the park and the sand. La Jolla Shores lies adjacent to the San Diego La Jolla Underwater Ecological Reserve. Fishing and removal of objects from this area is prohibited. At the north end of this beach lies the Scripps Institute of Oceanography and Scripps Pier. The pier is not open to the public, but the Steven Birch Aquarium is within 1/2 mile of La Jolla Shores and is open daily. La Jolla Shores has the only beachfront boat launch within City limits. Small vessels can be launched directly into the surf at the foot of Avenida de la Playa, approximately 300 yards south of the lifeguard station. This is an unimproved boat launch and vehicles are allowed to drive on the sand in a very limited area at five miles per hour or less. Four wheel drive is highly recommended. Lifeguard Protection: A permanent lifeguard station is located adjacent to the main parking lot at the foot of Calle Frescota. This station is generally staffed daily from 9:00 a.m. to near dusk. Closing hours vary based on time of year. Check at the lifeguard station for further details.

Extractions: DIVING SAFETY MANUAL Revised 2002 Original Printing 1954 F O R E W O R D The research diving program of Scripps Institution of Oceanography, University of California, San Diego (SIO, UCSD) is the oldest of its type in the country. The first non-military class in the U.S. which taught the use of self-contained underwater breathing apparatus (scuba) was held by scientists for scientists on the Scripps campus during the summer of 1951. In 1952 two individuals died using university-owned scuba equipment. This led to the President's Office restricting diving to those who had been trained through the program at Scripps. A statewide committee was formed to address the problems of training, equipment standards, air purity, physical examinations, recordkeeping, and diver certification. These committee members were physicians, environmental health and safety specialists, biologists, physicists, engineers, most of whom were themselves divers.

Diving is considered to be a high hazard activity. In the 8 year period from 1996/97 to 2003/04 there were 24 fatal accidents. Many of these were members of the public undergoing recreational diving training with paid instructors. However, the risks can be significantly reduced by adhering to regulations and adopting established good practice.

Extractions: The Diving Program currently supports approximately 50 divers representing all major WHOI departments. This pool of divers, a source of diving assistance for a wide range of special projects, can be contacted through the WHOI Diving Safety Officer (DSO). While the majority of these divers are qualified for shallow water (less than 130 feet), open circuit, compressed air SCUBA, lightweight surface-supplied air diving with hardwired communications is also supported. At present, mixed gas diving is not supported at WHOI. The Diving Program can supply high pressure compressed breathing air (tested semi-annually), scuba cylinders, weight belts, and lead weights. While visiting scientists are expected to supply the rest of their gear, a limited amount of other equipment, such as regulators, buoyancy compensators, wetsuits, small high pressure air compressors, etc. may be available with prior notification. We have a modest scuba repair facility and can repair certain brands of regulators, buoyancy compensators, visually inspect cylinders, and calibrate depth gauges.

PUGET SOUND PILOT Oceanography is a broad field in which many sciences are focused on the common goal of understanding the oceans. Since the ocean comprises the largest ecosystem on earth, study of the ocean ecosystems is critical to understanding man's effects on the biosphere. Persons specializing in Botany, cartography, chemistry, engineering, geography, geology, geophysics, limnology, mathematics, medicine, meteorology, and zoology all play roles in expanding our knowledge of marine environments. "Marine biology" is the study of life in the world's oceans, seas, bays and estuaries (in other words, in salt water), but requires an understanding of freshwater systems as well. It includes the study of all living marine organisms (from bacteria to whales) and their physical marine environment. The field of oceanography is usually broken down into sub-disciplines, including: Arctic Oceanography A person knowledgeable in any of the following disciplines can concentrate their study on the Arctic and/or Antarctic Oceans. This is field has growing importance in the study of the environment, especially climate change. It is widely theorized that the effects of global warming will first be evident in the arctic oceans.

Extractions: The original OSHA diving standard provided three specific exclusions which remain in effect as follows: Diving governed by the Protection of Human Subjects regulations of the Department of Health, Education and Welfare (HEW) or equally effective rules or regulations of another Federal Agency - Diving operations which are governed by 45 CFR Part 46 are not within the scope of OSHAs commercial diving standard. Such operations involve research and development or related scientific activities requiring human subjects and receive HEW grants or contracts. Compliance with HEW regulations is mandatory for such employers or contractors, and the regulations are designed to promote safety and health. Similarly, any other Federal agency which adopts rules orregulations that are equally effective (i.e., similar in design, purpose, and effect to those of HEW) are covered by this exclusion. The exclusion is supported in the record on the grounds that it would permit continued scientific research designed to extend the safe limits of diving physiology and technology. The long-term safety and health interests of divers are best served by the continuation of this research, and such diving cannot reasonably be expected to comply in every respect with a standard which is designed to reflect current commercial diving operational practice. Emergency Provision The original OSHA diving standard also included a provision for emergency situations, which remains in effect, when the overriding consideration is the preservation of life and the protection of the environment as follows: The "Emergency Provision" permits deviations from the requirements of OSHAs diving standard in situations where death, serious physical harm, or major environmental damage is likely,but only to the extent that such action is immediately necessary to prevent or minimize the harm.
