Safety Equipment - What do you take ?

Thread Status: Hello , There was no answer in this thread for more than 60 days.
It can take a long time to get an up-to-date response or contact with relevant users.
iocara every area has it's own particular neccessities for diving. being in scotland cold water and swift ocean currents with large possible wave action would be my first concern. unless you're diving in the locks.

something like hot cocoa or soup after a dive will help bring your temperature back up a little quicker. let somebody responsible know you are going to go diving and where and when you plan to return.

get the best weather forecast available for your area. KNOW YOUR LIMITATIONS and abide by them. see what kind of info is available for the area you plan to dive try the local diveshop. keep tabs on your buddy and he you I refuse to dive with people that can't care less what happens to me. plan your dive and dive your plan.

the last thing your dive instructor needs is an inquiry as to how some of his or her former students died right after completing his course, so lean hard on them for info and be gracious enough to allow them to accompany you or tell you a particular area is to beyond your capabilities just yet.

most divers really care so don't be afraid to ask questions and that includes me as well.

best of luck in a sport I truly enjoy.
