Diving safety

Overview
Underwater diving is a potentially hazardous activity, and it is essential for divers to be adequately trained, to be fit for the diving activity, and to use appropriate equipment that is in good working order. The risk of diving can be reduced by following safe diving practices and procedures, and by maintaining a high level of physical fitness.
Diving Safety Measures
Diving safety measures include the use of diving equipment such as diving suits, diving masks, diving regulators, and diving cylinders. These equipment are designed to protect the diver from the underwater environment and to provide the diver with the necessary breathing gas.
The use of dive computers and dive tables is also an important part of diving safety. These tools provide the diver with information about the depth and duration of the dive, and the decompression stops that may be required during the ascent.
Diving Safety Procedures
Diving safety procedures include the use of buddy diving system, where two divers dive together and look out for each other's safety. It also includes the use of dive plans, which outline the planned depth and duration of the dive, the decompression stops, and the emergency procedures.
Diving Safety Management
Diving safety management involves the provision of diving services, the management of diving operations, and the use of diving equipment. It includes the training and certification of divers, the inspection and maintenance of diving equipment, and the planning and supervision of diving operations.
