Diving safety regulations

Diving safety regulations are designed to protect divers by ensuring proper training, equipment, and procedures. They mandate thorough training and certification, proper planning including monitoring depth and time limits, and the use of reliable gear like tanks, masks, and gauges. Divers must follow safe ascent rates, perform safety stops, and avoid alcohol or drugs before diving. Buddy systems are essential for mutual assistance. Emergency procedures, including first aid and sharing air, are taught and practiced. Compliance with these regulations helps prevent accidents, injuries, and decompression sickness, ensuring a safe and enjoyable diving experience.
