 Diving (Uncommon) (01%) 

The user is trained in the use and maintenance of diving equipment for swimming underwater, including underwater navigation, proper weighting, and emergency procedures.

Prior to the invention of the Aqua-Lung in 1942, rigid diving suits were worn with air pumped from the surface through a connecting tube.

In the modern age, a scuba diver will be familiar with the physics of diving, air pressure, and the physiological processes that occur when breathing with pressurized air.

Opposing skill/Difficulty level:


 * Regular difficulty: routine dives using correct and well-maintained equipment.
 * Hard difficulty: diving in dangerous conditions or with poorly maintained equipment.

Pushing examples: pushing the limits of the equipment; methodically double-checking equipment; gaining professional assistance.

Sample Consequences of failing a Pushed roll: become trapped underwater; attacked by sea creatures; suffer the bends.


 * If an insane investigator fails a pushed roll, they begin to understand whale-song; all you have to do is follow their instructions.
