Section I



General Regulations



A. Instructional language and commands


1. All orders, reports and feedback given while flooding, diving, surfacing, blowing etc. are to be repeated to guarantee they are understood correctly.
The report of execution must follow every order.

2. When orders concerning the operation of shut off valves are given only the words "open" and "close" are to be used. In feedback about the position of the valve only the words "on" and "off" are to be used. Words such as "shut, tight and opened", are prohibited

My question:

Why wouldn't the return acknowledgement be "open" or "closed"? The same as was commanded?
