Recommended and prohibited actions while diving:
Failing to follow these instructions can expose you to dangers that can have serious consequences for your health. The following statements do not replace adequate diver training:
Introduction
Scuba diving is a risky activity if done without knowledge of safety rules. This document provides the main tips to follow and avoid. Other tips may be provided by qualified diving instructors.
Safety Rules & Basic Advice
- Prior to diving, it is highly advisable to consult with a doctor to assess your fitness to dive. If you have a history of cardiovascular disease, asthma, diabetes, heart disease, or vascular issues, ENT diseases, epilepsy, or other neurological disorders, diving is strongly discouraged. The same applies to temporary conditions such as colds, sinusitis, bronchitis, infections in the nose, throat, ears (otitis), or teeth (caries). Other factors that should cause you to avoid diving include peptic ulcer disease, retinal detachment, glaucoma, enlarged spleen (splenomegaly), or pregnancy.
- Do not fly or travel to high altitudes on the same day as diving.
- While breathing compressed air underwater, always adopt a continuous breathing pattern and regularly check your pressure gauge.
- Do not use earplugs as they prevent pressure equalization. Hydrate yourself before and after the dive to avoid drying out mucous membranes due to cool and dry air.
The Descent
- The descent (even at shallow depths) leads to an increase in ambient pressure. To maintain equal pressure between you and the environment perform the Valsalva maneuver. This involves blowing (slowly) while pinching your nose and keeping your mouth closed. By performing this operation, you avoid the main risk during the descent: Barotrauma, which mainly affects the eardrums and sinuses. If you are unable to perform this procedure correctly, do not go deeper and ascend slowly to the surface.
The Ascent
- During the ascent, it’s important to perform the Toynbee maneuver by pinching your nose and swallowing (swallowing saliva).
- Pulmonary overpressure accidents are one of the most serious dive accidents, and occur when a diver stops breathing during an ascent. To avoid this, it’s crucial to maintain a continuous breathing pattern. The diver’s ascent speed should not be faster than their exhaled air bubbles.
- For experienced users and graduates of an accredited center, the ascent from a significant depth may require decompression, depending on the dive time and depth reached. The goal is to remove the nitrogen accumulated in the body. If you ascend too quickly, the nitrogen will not be eliminated and gas bubbles can cause risks such as paralysis or thrombosis.
- If you experience pain or discomfort during the ascent or descent, stop your progress and ascend slowly and gradually while controlling the pressure of your tank and breathing.
Physical Effort
- Avoid making unnecessary efforts before, during, and after the dive and avoid apnea before and after the dive.
- Do not attempt to exceed your limits as Lung products are not designed for performance.
- Manage your breathing and if you experience shortness of breath, ascend slowly and gradually.
Adapting to the Dive Environment
- When underwater, it is important to only touch elements that you are familiar with and that are safe to touch.
- Adapt your dive to the environment and be aware that poor visibility can be a stressful factor.
- Stress can often lead to accidents, so it is important to manage stress to ensure a safe dive.
- Properly equip yourself for the dive environment by choosing a suitable mask, flippers and consider carrying an emergency buoy.
- Cold water can also be a stress factor, so it is important to wear suitable wetsuits or dry suits to reduce potential problems such as breathlessness.
- Avoid diving in rough or choppy waters and make sure to check the current and weather forecast before diving.
