• Attend a Scuba diving course at a qualified school and have the specific periodic medical check-up (at least once a year)
• Always plan your immersions and control thoroughly equipment and the pressure of the tanks before every immersion.
• Always carry/wear a PDC, a watch, a decompression table, a knife and BC Vest.
• In immersion adopt correct breathing techniques (deep and continuous respiration, don’t ever hold your breath, especially when coming up again).
• Don’t go deeper than 30 meters unless assisted by experts.
• Go up at a speed of 10 meters per minute, following the stages of decompression indicated in the tables. Make it a habit to have a pause of a couple of minutes at 5 meters.
• After long periods of inactivity, take your time to reach the depths that were used to reaching previous season.
• Don’t go further than 50 meters from the signal buoy.
• Always dive with a companion (without losing sight of each other) and always use the signal buoy. If there is a nautical support craft, the signal flag must be raised and there must be at least one person on board ready to intervene.
