Training Your Team to Dive Safe and Happy
Partnering with local scuba diving stores and dive operators we design practical training to help businesses build confident, competent teams who work safely, happily and effectively.
What We Offer (Examples)
Introductory dive awareness for non-diving staff: teach front-desk, housekeeping, food & beverage and transport teams the basics of scuba — terminology, common equipment, buddy system, and how to spot signs of discomfort or decompression illness so they can better support guests and communicate with dive partners.
Dive operations safety for activity leaders: practical training on dive briefings, surface support, emergency oxygen use, incident reporting, and working with local dive shops and operators to confirm equipment standards, air fills and maintenance records.
Contractor & partner engagement: guidance on selecting and auditing local dive stores and operators, establishing clear service agreements, verifying certifications and insurance, and creating mutual incident response plans.
Risk assessment & SOP development: tailored standard operating procedures covering guest screening, minimum certification requirements, medical declarations, weight and equipment policies, boat operations, and variable local conditions.
Emergency response planning: scenario-based drills, on-site oxygen and first-aid protocols, rapid communication pathways with dive operators, medevac planning, and post-incident reviews that preserve relationships while improving safety.
