Disclaimer

These safety articles are intended to disseminate information to certified Scuba Divers, which they may find useful in becoming safer divers. They are based on the research and experience of Instructors and Divemasters with decades of experience. Where appropriate, we have attempted to reference the sources of specific information and recommend further reading with links to articles available on the internet. There in no intent to contradict or supersede the content prepared by any training agency or scuba safety organizations. In the event of any conflicting information, we defer to those agencies. Any exact match betweenour articles and published or copyrighted material (except where source material is cited) is purely coincidental and unintentional.  As always, individual divers are responsible for conducting themselves in a safe and  appropriate manner such as that outlined in the diver’s responsibility code. An example, from SSI training agency can be found here: SSI Responsible Diver Code - Scuba Diving  There are inherent risks involved in Scuba Diving and the individual diver bears the responsibility for their own actions. These articles are intended to offer advice and are not a replacement for formal training.
