SAFE DIVING CHECKLISTInterview several divers to find someone who:
Carry safety equipment. Diving safety is no accident, carry and practice using these items (depending on the specific dive):
Always check your air. Constantly check your air gauge and start your assent before you are done to 500-700 pounds, depending on your personal consumption rate and the ambient conditions. Never stretch the rules. Reference your dive tables and computer, but do not push the limits. If you have doubt, get out. In dangerous conditions, postpone diving or go to an alternate location. Always be learning. Dive education does not end with your Open Water Dive Certification. Take additional courses, particularly Rescue, and dive often to stay proficient. This checklist is by no means all inclusive. Please email us if you have comments or suggestions. However, practicing the items on this list is a great start toward having the safest most enjoyable dives possible. |
