Base rules
So that everyone dives safely, these 15 rules apply at our dive centre. With your signature you agree to follow them.
- To dive you need to register, attend the base briefing, have a valid dive medical or a Medical Statement and hold at least a Scuba Diver certification. Show your logbook on request.
- Follow the crew's instructions; the base has the final say. Serious breaches can lead to a diving ban and being asked to leave the base.
- No diving under the influence of alcohol or drugs.
- Valid dive insurance is mandatory for all wrecks.
- The limits of your training agency apply, especially for depth.
- Decompression dives are only allowed with the appropriate technical training.
- Your equipment is complete and working, especially your dive computer.
- Bring your own and rented equipment to the drying room at least 15 minutes before the base closes.
- Treat rental equipment with care; damage and loss must be paid for. First stages never go into the water without cylinder pressure.
- In the event of a diving accident or a suspected one, inform the base management immediately; they will start the chain of rescue. An emergency phone, oxygen and first aid are available, and costs are borne by whoever caused the incident.
- Don't enter the office in a wet suit.
- The current price lists apply.
- Diving in the harbour entrance is prohibited. Outside the cordoned-off area, an SMB is mandatory.
- Always dive in a buddy team, meaning at least in pairs.
- Signing in on the dive lists is mandatory.
