In any case, diving is a VERY DANGEROUS activity, THE USE OF THE SCOOTER IN
SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE RISK OF IMMERSION.
19.2. OVERHEAD OR CONFINED ENVIRONMENTS
Dives in such environments, where obstacles to movement are present, either due to the
ambient itself for dispersed material in the dive area (e.g. debris, ropes, weed or animals)
or confining the manoeuvre space (caves, ice layers, wrecks), are already VERY
DANGEROUS.
INCORRECT USE OF THE SCOOTER IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE
DIVING HAZARDS.
DIVING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRES ADEQUATE TRAINING BY
QUALIFIED AGENCIES.
The diver must be able to exit the overhead environment without the use of the SCOOTER.
19.3. MUDDY OR SUSPENSION - FILLED ENVIRONMENTS
These include those environments, obstructed or otherwise, in which visibility may
suddenly fall to zero due to the suspension that is created by moving the bed sediment.
Dives in these environments are already VERY DANGEROUS.
INCORRECT USE OF THE SCOOTER IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS INCREASES THE
DIVING HAZARDS.
DIVING IN SUCH ENVIRONMENTS REQUIRES ADEQUATE TRAINING BY
QUALIFIED AGENCIES.
19.4. DIVER POSITION DURING THE DIVE
-
The diver’s head or other body parts should never be beyond the propeller conveyor
(5) (see fig. 1) where flow is suctioned.
- Do not direct the flow from the conveyor at you. This hampers the propulsion drive and
could move your equipment away from you.
- Do not ride the SCOOTER.
- Do not attach the SCOOTER to your tanks or their supports in any way.
- Do not attach the SCOOTER to your body, legs, arms or other parts in any way.
