Before you arrive
Access notes
Use a current local operator and any required protected-area permit. Confirm the exact route, entry or pickup, guide, recall procedure, oxygen, communications and emergency plan. No database boat-to-site relationship is asserted.
Plan within your training
Conditions and hazards
Changing wind and sea state, surge, current, surface traffic and cold seasonal water; maintain team contact, gas reserve and DSMB/surface procedures. Deep portions require suitable certification, conservative gas planning, redundant gas where appropriate, decompression planning and surface support. Confirm protected-area authorization and active mooring rules. Do not anchor on, touch, feed, collect or disturb Posidonia, coral, wreckage or wildlife.
