lets see, the pressure temperature gas law is charles' law

Nope, but that's a popular misconception and is probably in your OW text. Charles Law deals with temperature/volume relationships. It explains why hot air ballooning is possible, but really has no diving applications. There's a current thread here on SB about gas laws that will give you the correct answer (it's not Gay-Lussac's Law either).

Describe a Seche Disk.

What is it used for?

Estimates are almost always good enough, although I have used them when doing counts of game fish for Lee County. We checked horizontally and vertically (they were rarely the same). We'd also test salinity.

What is the END of an NOAA II mix at 63 FSW?

Unless you actually meant EAD, I have no idea what you are asking.

Who made NitrOx popular in the Keys?

Far beyond the Keys, he introduced nitrox to sport divers, he just happened to start it in Key Largo. He's someone I recommend meeting. Very interesting and nothing like you'd expect.

Good series, Pete!

Yes, except for the fact that no one has been able to identify Archman's fish.

I would include common reef fish in game questions as well as common diving location trivia questions. If it were all questions of calculation, I wouldn't buy the game since it would be like taking a test. Trivial Pursuit is fun because it is trivia.

Here's a fun question:

Is the term FSW a measure of

a) Depth
b) Pressure
c) All of the above

 

[Walter]

Trick question, my dear. I love it!

 

[HowardE]

I like fun questions more than impossibly hard ones. I don't think I'd want a whole game with impossibly hard questions...

There's nothing worse than a 4 hour marathon trivial persuit game, because you always end up with the most obscure question when you're going for the final pie piece.

I agree Red - Fish ID would be a fun part... there could be picture cards?

 

[wardric]

Fish ID is fun but local (although simple tropical fish questions are for most divers). Tables questions should be avoided, not everyone use the same and you need a table to answer them so would need to include one in the game.

What was the first nationwide SCUBA certification agency in the US?

Who was the first woman to head a major certification agency?

What is the largest shark? the smallest?
