70% to pass

The DEEP DRILLER as currently configured is limited to a maximum water depth of _______________.

A 400 feet
B 600 feet
C 800 feet
D 1,000 feet
AI Explanation

The correct answer is B) 600 feet. The DEEP DRILLER is a type of offshore drilling rig that is limited to a maximum water depth of 600 feet as per the regulations governing the U.S. Coast Guard Captain's License Examinations. This depth limitation is based on the design specifications and operational capabilities of the DEEP DRILLER, which is not rated or equipped to safely operate in water depths exceeding 600 feet. The other options are incorrect because 400 feet (A) is too shallow, 800 feet (C) and 1,000 feet (D) are beyond the established depth limit for the DEEP DRILLER configuration.
