Asian Diver — October 2017

Dive if you’re not well or

have had a heavy night.

Illness, alcohol in the

system, and dehydration can

impair your judgement and

put you at increased risk

of injury

Worry about calling off a

dive if it’s not going well.

Conditions might surprise

you once you descend, and

it’s okay to decide that you

don’t want to continue

DON'T DON'T DON'T

Your pre-dive safety check.

Bruce Willis Ruins All Films,

Beans With Rice And Fish, or

Begin With Review And Friend

all ensure that you really are

ready to go when you hit the

water

Build on your skills. Good

divers never stop learning

and know that practice

makes perfect. Refresher

dives and skill circuits will

ensure that your skills are

second nature

Ask for help. Diving is not

a solo sport, and even

experienced divers may need

assistance. Solving small

problems early on is better

than having to face bigger

issues later

DO DO DO

Harass marine life, or get

“hands on” with the reef.

Most bites or stings are

inflicted as a defensive

reaction to careless divers.

Respect the critters you meet!
