In order to really enjoy any adventurous activity, most people
would like to feel that they are not in any significant danger. Safety should be
achieved by
adequate
training, good equipment, experience,
and a common sense attitude.
- All keen divers
should complete
advanced training courses
such as
Stress and Rescue, Senior First Aid, Nitrox and other
specialties that suit their interests.
-
Scuba divers
who push the limits should have the appropriate training, equipment and experience so that the risks are minimised.
The following are a selection of articles on
diving safety and standards by Andrew Whitehead
that were published in Dive Log Australasia.
