As a diver or someone thinking about learning to scuba dive, BSAC’s Safe Diving guide will be an essential part of your diving safety ‘toolkit’.
It’s an A-Z guide for the safe practices of scuba diving, which reflects the current thinking of BSAC’s National Diving Committee and the research and advice on which it is acting.
Read the interactive Safe Diving Guide
A lot of their research and advice comes from the annual Diving Incidents Report which analyses all facts relating to diving incidents and accidents.
Whilst I, as BSAC Safety and Incidents Advisor, am responsible for collating and preparing this guidance. The development and production of the advice is the result of the input and hard work of a large number of people within BSAC and the National Diving Committee.
-Brian Cumming, Safety and Incidents Advisor, BSAC National Diving Committee
