Scuba Safety
Risk Management, Emergency Prep, Dive Medicine
Plan each dive with clear pre-dive briefings, checklists, and the right redundant gear so small issues stay small. Explore scuba diving safety and risk management, build emergency action plans and post-incident debriefs, choose medical kits, check-in systems, pony bottle options, and dive insurance wisely, and learn essential dive medicine topics including decompression illness, CNS oxygen toxicity, nitrogen narcosis, motion sickness, and surface interval management.
Understanding Risk
Scuba diving risk management starts by distinguishing hazard from risk. Identify common hazards, evaluate changing conditions, and apply procedures and equipment choices to reduce likelihood and impact.
Human Factors in Diving
A practical intro to human factors in diving. Recognize normalization of deviance, manage cognitive load, and replace rushed habits with checks and communication that keep teams safe.
Emergency Preparedness
Practical emergency prep for recreational divers. Confirm roles, plan contingencies, track divers, stage surface spares, and run honest debriefs to keep small issues small.
Plans and Equipment
Equip your team with a smart surface kit, use concise pre-dive checklists and check-in systems, and know when a pony bottle adds meaningful redundancy.
Medical Risks
Understand key dive medical risks and what to do: DCI and AGE including PFO, CNS oxygen toxicity, nitrogen narcosis, motion sickness, and leg cramps. Learn prevention, recognition, and response.
