Diving Safety Officer

A Diving Safety Officer (DSO) is a professional responsible for overseeing and ensuring the safety of all diving activities within an organization or project. They develop safety procedures, monitor adherence to standards, conduct training, and assess risks related to diving operations. Their role is to prevent accidents and respond effectively if incidents occur. Essentially, the DSO acts as a safety expert for divers, ensuring that everyone follows best practices and that the environment remains as safe as possible for underwater work or recreation.
