NATO Standards for Diving Operations

NATO Standards for Diving Operations are a set of agreed-upon safety and procedural guidelines among allied countries to ensure safe, effective underwater tasks. They cover aspects like equipment requirements, communication protocols, emergency procedures, and training protocols to maintain consistent quality and safety during military and civilian diving activities. These standards promote interoperability, minimize risks, and enhance coordination during complex underwater operations, ensuring all participating divers and teams operate under recognized, uniform practices regardless of their country of origin.
