diving safety protocols

Diving safety protocols include proper training, planning your dive carefully, and checking equipment thoroughly. Always dive within your skill level, ascend slowly to avoid decompression sickness, and stay aware of your surroundings. Communicate clearly with your dive buddy, monitor air supply regularly, and avoid alcohol or drugs before diving. Follow the "need to know" procedures for emergency situations, such as sharing air or controlled ascents. Respect the environment, avoid overexertion, and never push limits. Preparedness, awareness, and caution help ensure a safe and enjoyable diving experience.
