Attend diving courses, BLS, First Aid with Oxygen as well as upgrade courses with qualified instructors.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">2. Undergo annual diving medical examinations (even after illness and injury or if you need to take medication).<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">3. Stay hydrated by drinking water regularly. Avoid alcohol and heavy exercise, before and after the dive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">4. Always check the good and proper working condition of all the equipment, yours and your partner&rsquo;s. Make sure it is adequate for the planned dive.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">5. Wear a BC, double regulator, pressure gauge and knife; even if you use a computer, bring a depth gauge, watch and tables.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">6. Always dive in favourable weather-sea conditions, with a buddy and always with adequate surface support. Use a surface marker buoy.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">7. Dive within your certified training limits. Avoid &quot;yo-yo&quot; profiles and never hold your breath while ascending.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">8. Ascend 9-10 meters per minute, using the most current decompression models and favour greater &quot;conservative&quot; levels.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">9. In case of suspected DCI, immediately administer 100% oxygen with a suitable regulator, and for the necessary time. Do not attempt in-water recompression procedures. Call DAN!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">10. Before flying, follow DAN recommendations: at least 12 hours after a single dive and at least 24 hours after repetitive dives and\/or deco diving.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Important<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">Ensure that first aid materials are readily available together with an adequate oxygen kit (such as the DAN Oxygen kit).<\/li>\n<li style=\"text-align: justify;\">The onset of symptoms (even delayed) after a dive, requires immediate activation of specialized care.
