This is from an old standard but I do not believe it has changed.
| Prior to taking part in scientific diving activities the candidate will perform a rescue tow of 100 m with both participants fully geared with the appropriate thermal protection. The participant will also complete one of the following four tasks: |
| (a) demonstrate a survival swim/float without any aids for not less than 20 minutes; (b) swim 200 m without swim aids; (c) snorkel 400 m using mask, fins and snorkel; (d) conduct a head first surface dive to retrieve an object in 3 m of water. |
