Dive Safety Officer

A Dive Safety Officer (DSO) is a trained individual responsible for managing and ensuring the safety of all diving activities within a organization or group. They develop safety protocols, oversee equipment, monitor dive procedures, and ensure divers follow established guidelines. The DSO also assesses risks, provides training, and responds to emergencies if they arise. Their role is crucial in creating a safe environment for divers to explore underwater, minimizing accidents and promoting best practices. Essentially, they act as the safety steward, ensuring that diving activities are conducted responsibly and safely.
