As part of the Divemaster course a Equipment Exchange must be completed. Sometimes it is called the Stress Test. The standard in the PADI Instructor Manual states: In confined water, demonstrate the ability to effectively respond to an unusual circumstance underwater by exchanging all scuba equipment (except exposure suits and weights) with a buddy while sharing a single regulator second stage. Orient candidates to procedures for sharing a single regulator second stage, including exhalation between breaths and not covering the purge button as the regulator is passed back and forth. • Give buddy teams less than five minutes to discuss the exercise. • Have candidates begin sharing a single regulator second stage in water too deep in which to stand, exchange equipment and continue sharing air until they reach shallow water. • Do not assign problems – allow candidates to resolve any naturally-occurring ones. Do you think that the instructors in this video did a good job of meeting the standards?
