15. Match the diving mode with the appropriate characteristics:
Choice
Match
Breath-hold diving
Generally used for observation and specimen
collections, photography, or scouting out dive sites in
shallow water; Advantages include: less physical work,
simplified logistics, fewer medical/physiological
complications; Disadvantages include: limited in depth
and underwater time duration, requires breathholding techniques, useful only in relatively calm sea
conditions
Open-circuit scuba
Generally used for scientific observations, light
underwater work, sample collections, and shallowwater research; Major advantages include: minimum
support requirements, mobility, accessibility and
economy of equipment and breathing gas, portability,
and reliability; Major disadvantages include: lack of
efficient voice communications, limited depth and
duration
Umbilical-supplied systems
Generally used for scientific work, ship inspection and
repair, salvage, long-duration data gathering, harsh
environments (low visibility, strong currents, polluted
water); Major advantages include: long duration,
voice communications, protection from environment;
Major disadvantages include: limited mobility,
significant support requirements
Closed-circuit systems
Generally used for observations of long duration;
Major advantages include: mixed-gas capability, less
noise or bubbles, conservation of breathing medium,
long duration; Major disadvantages include:
complicated maintenance, extensive training
requirements, cost of equipment
