Joint Responsibilities:
What does this mean??? If you are participating in a guided dive, both guide and you as a diver have a responsibility. I will list just a few of these: Guide: Must be experienced & professional, knowledge of water conditions, know divers experience level & training, conduct a pre-dive briefing, move slowly, point out interesting aquatic features. Diver: Use safe diving practices, arrive at dive site prepared to dive (some divers forget gear & don't use a check list), follow the guide's instructions (some talk during this pre-dive briefing & don't respect others that wish to listen), don't descent until they want you to & dive in a buddy group (I have comments on this but decided to keep them to myself), equal opportunity viewing (allow others to look, back away once you looked), this is the most important one of all - know your air supply (most commonly I hear all to often divers running out of air, especially in tropical destinations), what's up with that, do you think just because you are in a tropical destination that it's ok???
