SAFE DIVING TIPS
All diving involves a degree of risk, because, after all, we are air-breathing mammals and are not designed for breathing underwater. If we accept this premise, and admit to ourselves that we are voluntarily entering an alien environment, we are more likely to approach our diving with a sensible degree of caution. We must also acknowledge that we rely totally on our equipment while diving. These safety hints apply to ALL dives and should be read in addition to those hints for specific types of diving.

DIVING EMERGENCIES
As divers, we hope to never find ourselves in need of emergency
medical assistance as a result of a diving accident. However,
statistics highlight that accidents do happen, even to the most
experienced divers, so we should all have a plan of action that
will prepare us for the unexpected.
If you ever find yourself in an emergency situation, when in
Australia, your first step should be to call the Divers Alert
