Scuba Diving Safety Tips: |
Scuba Diving Safety Rules:
If you follow some basic scuba diving safety rules, it should
help make sure all your dives are safe ones. While diving is
considered a safe sport, it is not without its' risks. After
all, we dive for fun and we don't want that to stop. So try
and follow these so you will have a long and enjoyable diving
career.
Scuba Diving Safety Rules:
• Get proper training - Having proper
training will make you much more comfortable underwater and
that is key to having a safe dive. Gettingcertified is a big
first step. If you dive after taking a resort course just make
sure you don't go too deep (30 feet should be the max). Some
resorts are known to be very lax on this rule and it is to your
detriment. If you go diving in caves, caverns, wrecks, etc.
have the proper training for this type of dive. Don't dive beyond
your ability.
• Don't hold your breath - Remember to
always breathe slowly and in a relaxed manner and to exhale
fully. Don't take short, shallow breathes and never hold your
breath. Holding your breath underwater can lead to lung injuries
and worse, in the extreme case.
• Be in good physical shape - You don't
have to be a triathlete but you should be able to swim and take
the stress of diving. A physical exam is a good idea before
diving. Some studies have shown that about a quarter to a third
of all scuba diving fatalities are from heart and/or circulatory
problems.
• Never dive alone - One of the key scuba
diving safety rules. Always dive with a buddy no matter where
you are. And when you do dive with a buddy, keep an eye on him/her
to make sure everything is OK (and hopefully they are doing
the same). If something happens, that buddy can be the difference
between life and death. Never violate this rule. Also do a pre-dive
equipment check with your buddy.
• Know weather conditions - If you are
with a dive operator it is usually their call but you can say
no if you are not comfortable. We did a dive once and the current
was much stronger than they expected. It was doable until we
turned a corner on reef then it was crazy. It wasn't fun and
I was getting uncomfortable. Since the divemaster wasn't stopping
the dive, I ascended early. It's OK to say no. It is your safety
after all. The divemaster did end up cutting the dive short
and surfaced shortly after us.
