A Current Part of the CFR
J. 29 CFR 1910.425 Surface-supplied air diving.
3. Commercial surface-supplied air diving with one diver in the water
requires a minimum of three dive-team members: a DPIC (see 29 CFR
1910.410(c)), and a diver "who shall be continuously tended [by a tender
other than the DPIC] while in the water" (see 29 CFR 1910.425(c)(1)).
For surface-supplied air diving that is 100 feet or less and does not
involve planned decompression, a standby diver is not a specified
requirement for every dive. However, based on the requirements of 29
CFR 1910.421(d) Planning and a****sment, the hazard analysis and
a****sment of the dive will dictate the use of a standby diver when
underwater conditions and hazards or potential hazards involve:
proximity to an underwater suction, no free access to the surface, the
possibility of diver entanglement or entrapment, or unknown bottom
conditions. If a standby diver is required (such as when these
conditions are present or for depths that exceed 100 fsw), these duties
may be performed by the DPIC or the tender. A tender who is a qualified
diver can be the standby diver; for a three person dive-team, the DPIC
would assume tending duties when the standby diver (tender) is in the
water. A DPIC who is a qualified diver also can be the standby diver,
provided that another dive-team member is at the dive location. This
dive-team member must be trained and capable of performing the necessary
functions of the DPIC, when the DPIC is in the water as the standby
diver.

MY PROPOSED CHANGED TO THIS PART OF THE CFR;
J. 29 CFR 1910.425 Surface-supplied air diving.
Part 3.
REQUEST CHANGED TO THE FOLLOWING;
For ALL Commercial surface-supplied air diving with one diver in the water requires a minimum of five dive-team members: a DPIC (see 29 CFR 1910.410(c)), a diver{the working diver] "who shall be continuously tended [by a tender other than the DPIC] while in the water" (see 29 CFR 1910.425(c)(1)), a standby diver "who shall be continuously tended [by a tender other than the DPIC or the tender for the working diver] while in the water" However, based on the requirements of 29 CFR 1910.421(d) Planning and a****sment, the hazard analysis and a****sment of the dive will dictate the use of additional personal when underwater conditions and hazards or potential hazards involve: proximity to an underwater suction, no free access to the surface, the possibility of diver entanglement or entrapment, or unknown bottom conditions.

ADC/ADCI IS NOT YOUR FRIEND!
"ADC was formed by a group of five diving companies who were operating in the Gulf and decided to fight unionization. Their goal was to establish standards so that the government would not start imposing regulations on the diving companies."
