ARE YOU A RESPONSIBLE DIVER? 

RESPONSIBLE DIVER CODE

As a responsible diver, I understand and assume all the risks I may encounter while diving.

My responsible Diving Duties include:

1. Diving within the limits of my ability and training. 
  As a responsible Diver, I understand...

•  My certification card qualifies me to engage in diving activities consistent with 

my training and experience.

•  The importance of continuing my diving education in the form of supervised 

activities and training, such as night diving and deep diving specialties.

•  The need to keep proficient in my diving skills and to refresh them under su-

pervision if I have not been diving recently.

•  There are no limits to what I can learn about diving. The more I know, the safer 

I’ll be.

•  My maximum depth should be limited to my level of training and experience.
•  I must have training in the proper use of equipment.
•  The value of getting specific training in the proper use and application of spe-

cialized equipment, such as drysuits and computers.

2. Evaluating the conditions before every dive and making sure they fit my personal capabil-

ities.

  As a Responsible Diver, I recognize...

•  The need for being familiar with my dive sites and the importance of getting a 

formal orientation to unfamiliar dive sites from a knowledgeable local source.

•  The dangers of overhead environments (caves, wrecks, etc.) and the need to 

seek specialized training before doing such diving.

•  I should postpone my dive, or choose an alternate site, if I evaluate the dive 

site conditions as being more difficult than my experience and training level.

•  I should use a surface support station, such as a boat or a float, whenever 

feasible.
