Clear selection
Do you own your own scuba equipment(check all that apply) *
Required
Do you have a BCD of your own or do you rent a BCD?
Clear selection
Do you manage to get to neutral buoyancy easily at the beginning of the dive? *
How many dives did you perform until you managed to reach a good neutral buoyancy easily? *
Are you satisfied with your ability to maintain neutral buoyancy when changing depths? *
How often do you experience trouble with buoyancy control? *
Never
Every dive
How much does controlling buoyancy detract from the enjoyment of your dive? *
Not at all
Extremely
Do you plan your dives to avoid compression sickness? *
Do you plan diving using tables or rely on a dive computer? *
Have you experienced mild decompression symptoms in the past (itching, joint redness, mild pain)? *
Have you experienced a decompression sickness that required medical intervention? *
At the end of the dive - is it important for you to perform ascendance according to a plan that prevents decompression sickness? *
At the end of the dive - are you capable to maintain the ascent speed according to the plan or as instructed by the dive computer? *
At the end of the dive - are you capable to perform the decompression breaks for the correct length and depth? *
Have you ever felt unsafe during a dive due to equipment? i.e. almost ran out of air, missed your decompression stop *
Have you had stressful events in diving (loss of orientation, Nitrogen narcotics, loss of partner (buddy), limited amount of air)? *
How did you react in stressful events? *
How likely would you be willing to use an automatic BCD that established buoyancy control so you were not worried about your inflate/deflate button, would ascend for you, and maintain neutral buoyancy on the dive? *
Never
I am already on the waitlist to purchase one
Why did you choose your answer above? i.e. don't want to struggle with buoyancy control, you personally don't have a need for an automated bcd, etc. *
