What does a one-line pull instruct the diver to do?

• A. Face the weight and go right.
• B. Stop and search where you are.
• C. Haul me up immediately.
• D. Move away from the weight.

Answer: (B)

A single tug on the guideline tells the diver to stop and search the area around them. In EOD diving, this pause is crucial because hazards or ordnance can be nearby and conditions can change quickly. The diver stops where they are, visually scans the surroundings, and checks for any threats or entanglements before continuing. This isn’t a directive to move in a particular direction or to ascend; those actions require different signals.
