2. SAFETY RULES
Diving must be practiced according to regulations and guidelines set by a recognized
teaching organization. Before participating in any diving activity it is required that you follow
a complete diving course covering theory and practice of diving. The course must cover,
among other subjects, air reserve calculations, consumption rates and their relation to time
and depth, correct use of the buoyancy compensator, dive tables knowledge and familiarity
with all essential elements of diving gear.
The present manual does not replace a diving course!
Before beginning a dive course each diver must pass a medical examination in order to
asses his/her fitness to dive. His/her physical condition must then be periodically checked
by a physician and updated as is required by the examining doctor.
The tank must be filled with atmospheric air only, compressed according to EN 12021. The
presence of moisture inside the tank can cause corrosion within the cylinder and lead to freezing
and malfunction during dives in low temperature water. The cylinder must be transported
according to local regulations for transporting dangerous goods. Use of the cylinder must
comply with local regulations regarding the use of gases and compressed air.
