Your scuba training will include information about performing basic safety checks on your equipment and about other guidelines. If you're diving regularly you will probably want to take courses in emergency diving procedures and in first aid including CPR. Basic precautions The basic precautions you should take for safe diving are: - Do not dive alone, always dive with a partner (a "buddy") who will stay close to you. Typically regulators have a second mouthpiece you can lend a buddy if they are out of air.
- Do not dive in unfamiliar areas. Do some introductory dives or a dive orientation with a local instructor or experienced diver.
- Do not dive outside your training, for example, diving deeper than you trained for, or diving in confined spaces when you're only certified for open water.
- Do not dive when impaired, e.g. by fatigue or alcohol.
