NAUI Advanced Scuba Diver Practice Exam

When lifting an object with a lift bag, it is essential for safety that everyone stays out of the way below the lift. This ensures that divers prevent potential accidents or injuries that could occur if the object were to shift unexpectedly during the ascent. The lift bag itself creates an upward force, and as the object rises, it can create turbulence or sudden movements in the water, which could be hazardous for divers positioned underneath.

By remaining clear of the area directly below the lift bag, divers allow for a controlled ascent of the object and reduce the risk of being struck or entangled. This practice enhances safety not only for the diver handling the lift bag but also for the entire team involved in the operation.
