Before every dive, a dive plan will have to be carried out before any diving takes place, this is created by the dive manager.
This is an example of a risk assessment form completed for Queenie Reef, whenever diving on a new site, a risk assessment should be created.
This ensures all the information about the dive is recorded and transparent, attendees are able to review the plan before the dive, know who they're diving with. Who's providing shore cover and ensuring each person has the relevant training and equipment.
These should be made available as soon as possible on the event descriptions of planned dives.
Typically after planning a diving event, a kit collection day will be allocated where all the diving equipment will be taken from the diving shed behind the Margaret Barnes student accomodation building, checked and then taken to the diving site. Anyone borrowing kit should be there.
Dive planning and risk assessments are typically carried out by members qualified to dive leader+, during your dive leader course, you'll have to plan and carry out a dive as a dive manager. However, anyone can opt to help out with them or try to create one themselves. It'll just need to be checked by our Comittee Dive Officer.
