Typical hazards & measures
Mask squeeze
— Divers should use masks that enclose both the eyes and nose, allowing for proper equalization. Pre-dive training should include mask equalization techniques, ensuring that divers can comfortably adjust to pressure changes during descent.
Ear barotrauma
— Instruct divers on proper equalization techniques during descent and ascent. Avoid diving when experiencing congestion or cold symptoms that affect the Eustachian tubes. Provide medical support and ensure instructors understand the risks of diving with ear issues.
Shark or marine life injuries
— Provide comprehensive briefings on local marine life, including safe interactions with species like sharks or jellyfish. Divers should avoid provoking or feeding wildlife and should carry medical kits to treat stings or bites.
Sunburn
— Ensure divers wear sunscreen or UV protective clothing during surface intervals and pre-dive preparation. Instruct divers on the importance of skin protection, especially in tropical regions where UV exposure is high.
Lost diver scenario
— Brief divers on lost buddy protocols, including search patterns and signaling devices. Divers should stay close to the dive group and use underwater lights or strobes in low visibility. Surface marker buoys should be used if separation occurs at the surface. Instructors should be ready to coordinate search efforts.
