Abstract
The diving and salvage school of the Colombian Navy offers training in rescue maneuvers, with the purpose that students acquire the skills and abilities required for effective surveillance, protection and attention of people and materials at sea that may involve dangerous situations or threaten human life. Therefore, the teaching and learning skills of student divers have to be improved.
 The purpose of the project is to design and build a bongo that will allow the students to effectively observe the applicability of the fundamentals of physics such as: Archimedes’ principle, Boyle’s law and Pascal’s principle, as a theoretical and practical tool that serves as effective training on rescue maneuvers in real time for students and under controlled conditions at the facilities of the Diving School of the Navy in the city of Cartagena. For its execution, exploratory research was carried out and a deductive method was applied, which began with the planning study and shipbuilding method used by COTECMAR, followed by the analysis and use of materials as a result of the experience of the Naval Base BN1 “ARC BOLIVAR” in this type of constructions. Construction manuals for rescue equipment of the United States Navy were also used as references. The existing BONGO ARC “CASA”, was used as reference and its information served as an input for naval architecture calculations and finally allowed the construction of the Bongo with the technical specifications required for training in this area of knowledge. The device was put into service for the Diving and Salvage School as a learning tool, maintaining proportional and aesthetic characteristics that provide ease, comfort, safety and efficiency during the instruction and decision-making process at a low cost and minimizing the risk of accidents
Highlights
This research work focuses on strengthening salvage instructions at the Diving and Salvage School, which is intended to be achieved through the construction of a prototype that will serve as a bongo simulator, with the purpose of analyzing and consider the variables of refloating maneuvers and air systems of work platforms, recreating reality during academic training in order to optimize the performance of divers in all areas of the navy
The fact that this project is carried out through the diving equipment research line provides a space for the explanation and actual application of physics fundamentals such as: Archimedes’ principle, Boyle’s law and Pascal’s principle in the occupational role of divers, contributing to the training on physics and salvaging
Once the investigation was completed and the analyzes of the data collected were carried out, refloat maneuvers were performed with the prototype bongo, from the moment in which the prototype is at the bottom of the sea until it has refloated back to the surface

The results obtained in the construction of the simulator will be considered and several real examples will be analyzed. Methodological training strategies will be analyzed and recommendations based on the cases analyzed and work methodologies currently used in this type of work platforms will be proposed
