Diving Etiquette

True - I don't need to waste time overdoing pre-dive safety procedures

False - First of all, I should never be rushed. Even very experienced divers sometime forget to turn on their air. Always take the time to double check everything before getting into the water

Spread out in the middle of the floor where people can trip over them

On the floor under my seat or in a secure area so they are out of the way and clear of common areas & walkways

Fins should go under my seat, but weights should be kept on the seat where they can fall on someone's toes

True - Especially if I already know the dive site and don't need to pay attention - I won't miss anything

False - Other divers may not know the dive site so I should show respect and not be talking during the dive briefing unless I have a question

True - Water is water so I can rinse my mask in the same bucket where other divers keep their cameras

False - Different rinse buckets are meant for different items. Some should have soap in them while others should never have any soap (which can destroy protective o’rings). When rinsing my mask, it's better to scoop out water with my hand to put in my mask rather than dunking the entire mask in the bucket

True - It's important so I don't negatively impact the sensitive reef, marine life, or other divers

False - Other divers will keep track of me, and if I happen to hit the coral with my fins it will grow back






As Long As I Don’t Feel My Fins Hitting Anything, I Don’t Need To Pay Attention To What’s Below Me

True – My fin strokes don’t create any turbulence in the water that could harm anything

False – My fin strokes do create turbulence in the water which can stir up sandy / silty bottoms that can disturb marine life and ruin the visibility for divers behind me

True – You can never annoy another diver by swimming right next to them. Besides, we may need each other – that’s the buddy system

False – You don’t want to be so far away from other divers that you can’t reach anyone in an emergency, but diving too close can cause problems. You can bang into each other or get hit by someone fins. Diving too close to your guide actually makes their job much harder.
