SAFETY RULES AND REGULATIONS

  • Safety First Attitude: All operations, tasks, and actions must be conducted with a strict "Safety First" attitude at all times.
  • Injury Reporting: All injuries, regardless of how minor, must be reported immediately to the instructor. Any subsequent complications resulting from an injury that occur outside of class hours must also be reported immediately.
  • Alcohol and Drugs: The consumption of alcohol or illicit drugs is strictly forbidden during classes and diving operations. Instructors reserve the right to immediately suspend any student found in violation of this policy.
  • Nicotine Use: The use of all nicotine products—including smoking, vaping, and smokeless tobacco—is strictly prohibited at all dive sites, vessels, and operational areas. Nicotine acts as a potent vasoconstrictor and cardiovascular stimulant, which presents elevated physiological risks (including an increased susceptibility to decompression sickness and accelerated heat loss) when combined with hyperbaric pressure.
  • Unsafe Equipment: Any unsafe, damaged, or malfunctioning equipment must be reported immediately to the instructor and removed from service.
  • Adherence to Dive Briefings: All dive briefing parameters outlined by the instructor—including maximum depth, bottom time, and gas management—must be strictly adhered to.
  • Recall Signals and Dive Plans: All recall signals must be obeyed instantly. The instructor reserves the right to suspend any student who fails to follow the established dive plan.
  • Medical and Medication Reporting: Any illness or medication use must be reported to the instructor prior to diving. Certain medications have heightened or unpredictable side effects when taken under hyperbaric pressure.
  • Removal of Jewelry: All rings, watches, necklaces, earrings, and other body piercings must be removed prior to diving or operating any machinery/equipment.
  • Flying and Altitude Restrictions: Students planning to fly or travel to altitude after a dive must inform the instructor of their travel plans prior to diving. In accordance with standard medical guidelines, a minimum surface interval of 24 hours is required before traveling to altitude.
  • Weekend and External Diving: Students diving over weekends or outside of course hours must inform the instructor of their recent dive history before participating in course dives. Any diving injuries or unusual physiological incidents experienced over the weekend must be reported.
  • WorkSafeBC Compliance: All diving operations will be conducted in strict compliance with WorkSafeBC Occupational Health and Safety Regulations.
  • Coast Guard Compliance: All vessel and boating operations will be conducted in strict compliance with Canadian Coast Guard regulations.
  • MedicAlert Identification: Following any dive, all staff and students are required to wear a MedicAlert bracelet or ID tag indicating the potential risk of decompression illness (DCI) for a period of 24 hours after their last dive.
  • Protective Equipment (Gloves): Appropriate protective gloves must be worn during all work projects, both underwater and topside on the vessels.
