    Top Safety Precautions Before, During, and After a Dive

    Although diving is an activity that has earned its share of enthusiasts over the years, everybody knows that it is still a sport that entails some adequate preparation. Diving, just like any other outdoor sport or activity, has its own risks – but if you are prepared, both mentally and physically, it can be a richly rewarding experience that you will always treasure.

    There’s comprehensive training involved in diving, especially if you are about to go in the deep for the first time. A diving course will be sufficient in letting you know the ins and outs of diving, and this includes getting to know your equipment, what to do and what not to do, and how to stay focused. It is always best to keep calm so that whatever happens, you can deal with it in the best way possible.

    But there are certain safety precautions which you should do before, during, and after a dive. These precautions will ensure that you have a wonderful experience without worrying about any risks.

    Before a dive

    Check with your doctor – you should undergo a thorough medical examination, which includes determining whether you have asthma. Those with emotion-, exercise-, or cold-induced asthma are not allowed to dive. Those with allergy-induced asthma may be allowed to dive under certain precautions. Speak with a certified London Hyperbaric diving doctor during your dive medical to determine if you are physically fit to dive. Additionally, if you are feeling poorly or are suffering from a respiratory illness such as a cold or flu, it is best not to dive.

    Check your diving equipment – this goes without saying. You or a professional should check the equipment in shallow water right before you dive. Also, check the efficiency of emergency equipment such as oxygen supplies and first-aid kits prior to diving.

    Don’t drink alcohol – alcohol tends to dehydrate you, even if you drink it the night before a dive. Make sure you are in optimum shape for the dive.hyperbaric oxygen therapy

    During a dive

    Follow the dive plan – even if you see an interesting species of marine life, it is best to stick with your diving plan at all times. Follow the instructions of the dive master and never go off on your own.

    Dive within your skill – if you are a first-time diver, always be mindful of your limits. You are not a pro. Now is not the time to test your depth capabilities.

    After a dive

    Spend enough time in decompression – if you have to decompress, make sure you spend enough time in the chamber, even if you spend a few minutes past the allotted time. It is best to do this to prevent the occurrence of such conditions as decompression illness or the ‘bends’.

    In the event that you suspect yourself or a friend of having contracted DCI or decompression illness, visit a specialist London Hyperbaric diving doctor immediately. Quick action could save lives, and a diving doctor would be able to help you or a friend recover in no time.

    Author Bio – Tom Van Cauwenberghe is a freelance writer who is also a diving enthusiast. He understands the importance of diving safety at all times, and recommends the services of a London Hyperbaric diving doctor in case of an emergency.
