 *'''Diving Suit''' - It attaches to a helmet with a tube running to a low-pressure air tank that is worn strapped to the dolphineer's back. This tank is in turn attached to the surface through another tube through which air is pumped. With this air tank, it is also possible for the diver to actually disconnect himself from the surface for short periods of time. During these deeper dives, it is necessary for the diver to wear a weight belt.

 ==Equipment==
-*One of the first things each dolphineer learns is how to use and maintain his diving equipment. New equipment is continually being tested as the Smithcraft and Dolphin Halls work together to develop it. '''Dolphineers use a variety of equipment ranging from goggles, fins, and snorkel type reeds to a low-pressure air tank made of the same type of tanks used for HNO3 during Threadfall.'''

-*'''Fins''' - Dolphineers seldom swim far from the Hall without '''fins'''. These fins, constructed of heavy fiber, give more thrusting power to human legs while swimming, but need to have bindings replaced frequently. They are made from strong, flat reeds that are woven together and then sewn along the edges to keep them from unraveling. There is a strap along the back of the fins that holds them in place.

 *'''Weight belt''' - The belt is made out of regular fabric sewn around several heavy rocks, and helps the diver to control his descent. The diving suit is large and not very maneuverable, so it is preferable that a dolphineer use other techniques, such as controlled breathing, to aid in necessary work underwater.

	*As the relationship of dolphins and humans was rediscovered, the dolphins eagerly undertook to instruct humans in their traditional responsibilities. With the help of AIVAS, the utilization of hand signals and bells was re-established, as well as more coherent vocal communication, and the Dolphin-Human Contract once again became an important part of life on Pern.		*As the relationship of dolphins and humans was rediscovered, the dolphins eagerly undertook to instruct humans in their traditional responsibilities.

		+	==Dolphineer Timewarp==
		+	The Apprentice Dolphineer Timewarp works like the Weyrling Timewarp. You will create an apprentice for an "Apprentice Class" (just like you would for a Candidate class). Then your apprentice will follow the timeline below. Afterw these 6 pern months, your apprentice will advance to the rank of a Journeyman/woman and have the opportunity to partner to a Dolphin!
		+
		+	'''I want to join the Apprentice Timewarp program, what do I do?'''
		+
		+	The Hallmaster will send out an "Apprentice Call" (reminiscent of a Candidate Call) twice a year so that people have the opportunity to participate in the Apprentice Timewarp as a cohort.
		+
		+	===Schedule===
		+
		+	'''Pern Months 1-2'''
		+
		+	Members create an Apprentice (like you would a Candidate at the Weyr), and begin participating in Apprentice-level classes
		+	*Classes: swim basics, dolphin anatomy basics, basic map reading, basic meteorology, basics of tides and currents
		+	*Chores: Chores and duties assigned by the Master of Apprentices
		+
		+	'''Pern Month 3-4'''
		+
		+	Apprentices are promoted to senior apprentices and begin taking higher-level classes
		+	*Classes: Different swim techniques and basic human first aid, basic dolphin first aid, hand signals, basics of search and rescue techniques
		+	*Chores: Chores and duties assigned by the Master of Apprentices
		+
		+	'''Pern Month 5'''
		+
		+	Sr Apprentices take the exam and must receive the recommendation of the Master of Apprentices to walk-the-tables to Journeyman status
		+	*Classes: Advanced swim/rescue swimming, Mapping techniques, seismic activity, salvage techniques, begin working more closely with the dolphin pod located at the Hall - this is when Journeymen begin making the potential connection with a dolphin that might want to partner later.
		+	*Chores: Duties now assigned by the Hallmaster/Hallsecond
		+
		+	'''Pern Month 6'''
		+
		+	Partnering Ceremony where dolphins wishing to partner with a human meet with qualified Journeymen (this would be similar-ish to a Hatching/Impression)
		+	*Classes: Journeymen are assigned classes to teach, journeymen choose their specialty
		+	*Chores: Partnered dolphineers are now assigned ship voyages, visits to seaholds, etc
		+
		+	===Age Requirements===
		+	To be considered for the Apprentice Timewarp, your persona needs to be a minimum of 18 Turns old, since 18 is the youngest a journeyman/woman can be.
