OOA
Situations with a scooter
In
the event of a gas-sharing situation whilst scootering, the normal
sharing procedure can be followed, with the only difference being
that the X-Scooter will now be held in the hold position (see holding
section above) Once the emergency has been dealt with, it only then
remains for the team to consider their option; direct ascent or return
to entry point? (Pre-dive gas planning and in dive gas management
should have provided sufficient reserve for any necessary scenario)
-
If
making a direct ascent whilst air sharing, both team members
will first stow their X-Scooters (See stow section).
- The
team can then store the X-Scooter either by clipping them to
the left chest D-ring or the hip D-ring (by attaching a double
ender to the nose d-ring and the d-ring on your equipment or
by running the tow cord through the nose D-ring and clipping
it to the chest or hip d-ring.)
-
Then
they can proceed with the Out of Air horizontal ascent as normal.
*
Note the X-scooter is stowed and stored as it is no longer needed
during the ascent
-
If
returning to the exit point (Long distances) using the X-Scooter,
the out of gas diver will tow the donor (as outlined above). Not
only will this ensure the receiver is always in front of the donor
and in contact with the X-Scooter (thus making it highly improbable
that they will loose contact with the donor) It also gives the
OOG diver something to do.
- The
donating diver or passenger stows their X-Scooter* and places
it in the tow position (outlined above) The team then proceed
to exit as normal.
- An
alternative method is to scooter side by side back to the exit
point (short distance). The OOA diver should be in front and
on the left side of the donating diver allowing both the long
hose to route comfortably and the donating diver to give touch
contact signals with their left hand (free hand) to the OOA diver
on the right arm. This method is risky and should on be used
for short distances returning to the upline.
*Note:
A working scooter is a valuable emergency asset to the team and as
such is always stowed and towed. A working scooter is never abandoned.
