There are a set of safety measures that need to be taken when venturing in the ocean; the particular one we will focus on is Underwater Services.

The most important safety measure is diving with a buddy: This is not only for environmental and safety but also for legal reasons. In most places, the only legal way to dive is with someone at your side, unless you are diving in free-diving depths.

When giving Underwater services, the Diving instructor will not be able to properly concentrate on all the areas that need his attention if he is alone. You can’t give services to non-paying customers when you’re alone either.

Buddy diving is not only for Underwater services but also for recreational purposes since you can help each other in case of an emergency.
The buddy must be within the reach of your voice and hand gestures too. So if they are away from you makes it very hard to communicate or give them instructions on what to do.

Doing Underwater services alone will only increase the risks of having an accident, so buddy diving is mandatory.
It’s also important to note that, even though you are with your buddy, emergencies still do happen. It doesn’t matter how much experience you have or how safe other factors can be; accidents can still happen and all you can do is react to them.

So both the Diving instructor and his buddy need to be prepared for any type of accident. That means they need to know what type of equipment they are going to use and how to use it properly. They should also be certified in CPR and first aid, have a radio or phone on them at all times, and be able to maintain calm as possible during the situation.

Another vital safety measure is having a plan for Underwater services: this means knowing where you are going, what type of terrain you will find, weather changes and how long it’s going to last, and what type of emergencies might happen. This should be written down and kept somewhere on you, preferably in a place where it is easily accessible and be able to give it to the authorities if anything were to happen.

Since Underwater services are not only risky but also physically demanding, having your rest days recorded beforehand will ensure that your body can handle itself and can avoid injuries and tiredness.

A great way to prevent injuries during Underwater services is having the proper equipment.

It’s important to make sure all of your equipment works properly and that you know how to use it, which means getting proper training for whatever equipment you’re using whether it be tanks, regulators, or buoyancy compensators. (https://www.kristiansandbygg.no/kjerneboring)

Finally, knowing when not to do Underwater services will go a long way. If you are tired, injured, or not feeling well it’s very important to know when to say no to clients.

These safety measures should always be taken into consideration if someone is to do Underwater services.
