Safety standards for diving

Safety standards for diving are guidelines set to ensure the well-being of divers while they explore underwater. These standards include proper training for divers, equipment checks, and adherence to recommended depth limits and ascent rates. Divers should always use buddy systems for safety and be aware of potential hazards like decompression sickness. Regular health assessments and knowledge of local marine conditions are also vital. Organizations like PADI and NAUI establish these standards to promote safe diving practices and minimize risks, ensuring that divers can enjoy the aquatic environment responsibly.
