In the Waterfront Skills underwater swim, how many dive rings must be retrieved?

The thing being tested is your ability to search underwater and retrieve multiple objects in a single dive, showing breath control, orientation, and controlled retrieval technique. In this drill, you must retrieve three dive rings from the bottom. That number provides enough challenge to demonstrate you can locate and grab more than one item without breaking form or wasting air, while still keeping the task realistic and achievable within the exercise. Retrieving fewer wouldn’t fully show your ability to handle multiple underwater recoveries, and more would make the drill unnecessarily harder.
