| SAFETY
|
Diving is a very safe sport when it is exercised correctly, here in Aquamarine we do believe that safety is un-compromiseable, it is a stone corner of our business concept and therefore, all our boats,
shore dive operations and dive centers are equipped with Emergency breathing Oxygen tanks and latest Medic First Aid Boxes issued by the recompression chamber.
in addition, ALL our staff are well trained and emergency first response certified.
Furthermore, we have established our own standard operating procedures manual that contains detailed descriptions of the way we want our operations to run for our staff to fulfill and use as a reference
to excel.
We strongly recommend following our safety rules as well as the safety rules of your training agency.

RESPONSIBLE COMPUTER DIVING |
|
| |
Since the advent of dive computers…
it is a common mistake to assume that the old traditional rules of diving no longer apply; the truth is just the opposite.
Before you dive using your Dive computer, please keep these basic things in mind:
- Plan each dive and dive your plan – your profile was not designed to make decisions for you, only to provide you with the information you need to make responsible decisions for yourself. This begins with a dive plan that will help you avoid a low on air or a decompression situation.
- Do not plan dives that exceed your training or experience level.

FLYING AFTER DIVING

There are… different recommendations about flying after diving according to many different training and insurance agencies, but why not be extra safe?
Please make sure that you leave at least 24 hours from your last dive as a clearance to board planes or ascend to altitude.
