• Exercise 1: 400 meters swimming
• Exercise 2: 15 minutes treading water
• Exercise 3: 800 meters snorkeling
• Exercise 4: 100 meters towing an unresponsive diver
  
• Exercise 5: Equipment Exchange
  Solve unpredictable underwater problems by exchanging all dive equipment
  with your dive partner while sharing air.

• At a signal, the rescuer enters the water, locates the victim, and brings them to the surface. The rescuer checks the breathing, initiates ventilation, and tows or pushes the victim while removing their own weight system, the victim's weight system, both masks, and both dive equipment. The rescuer then brings the victim out of the water.

• Set up a dive site and organize the preparation for the dive.
• Prepare emergency equipment, such as the First Aid Kit and oxygen unit.
• Organize the use of a buoy/dive flag and descent line.

• Together with their dive partner, carefully examine a dive site or part of a dive site as specified by the instructor, including features both underwater and above water, with enough detail and accuracy to create a map of the site.
• Create a map of the dive site that includes the following (where applicable to the site): depth contours, interesting points, recommended entry and exit points, local facilities, and potential hazards.

• Conduct a dive site briefing for a known site that covers all 10 points listed on the Divemaster board:
  
  

    1. Dive site name
    2. Site description
    3. Your role and how divers can recognize you underwater
    4. Entry and exit techniques
    5. Dive procedures
    6. Emergency procedures
    7. Review of signals for the dive
    8. Roster and buddy check
    9. Environmental briefing
  10. Safety check before the dive

Skillt 4: Search and Recovery – Scenario

The candidates must:

• Prepare the emergency ventilation equipment before the dive and place it at
  the safety stop.
• Navigate using a compass for at least 20 fin strokes away from a point and back.
• Use a dive computer to control an ascent rate of no more than 18 meters per minute.
• Perform a 3-minute safety stop without holding on to a reference line.

• Workshop 1: The ReActivate Program
• Workshop 2: Supervision in the Skin Diver course and snorkeling
• Workshop 3: Discover Scuba Diving Program in Confined Water
• Workshop 4: DSD Program – Additional Open Water Dive
• Workshop 5: Discover Local Diving in Open Wate

Training Simulation 2: Open Water Diver Students in Open Water

The candidates must:

• Assess the environmental conditions of a dive site and suggest to the instructor the suitability of the site for beginner-level dive students.
• Organize the equipment preparation for PADI Open Water Diver course students for open water training.
• Assist in preparing a dive site for a training dive.
• Coordinate the smooth running of the students (in the water) during open water training.
• Supervise the Open Water Diver students during open water dives whom the instructor is not directly attending to.
• Respond appropriately to diver problems or prevent them.
• Accompany dive students on an underwater tour.
