1. Maintain good mental and physical fitness for diving. Avoid being under the influence of alcohol or dangerous drugs while diving. Keep proficient in diving skills, striving to increase them through continuing education and reviewing them in controlled conditions after a period of diving inactivity.
2. Be familiar with the dive sites. If not, obtain a formal diving orientation from a knowledgeable local source. If diving conditions are worse than those in which I am experienced, postpone diving or select and alternate site with better conditions. Engage only in diving activities consistent with my training and experience. Do not engage in cave diving unless specifically trained to do so.
3. Use complete, well-maintained, reliable equipment with which I am familiar and inspect it for correct fit and function prior to each dive. Deny use of my equipment to uncertified divers. Always have a buoyancy control device and submersible pressure gage when scuba diving. Recognize the desirability of an alternate air source and a low-pressure buoyancy control inflation system.
4. Listen carefully to dive briefings and directions and respect the advice of those supervising my dive activities.
5. Adhere to the buddy system throughout every dive. Plan dives, including communications, procedures for reuniting in case of separation, and emergency procedures with my buddy.
6. Be proficient in dive table usage. Make all dives no decompression dives and allow a margin of safety. Have a means to monitor depth and time underwater. Limit maximum depth to my level of training and experience. Ascend at a rate of not more than 30 feet/ 9 meters per minute.
7. Maintain proper buoyancy. Adjust weighting at the surface for neutral buoyancy with no air in my buoyancy control device. Maintain neutral buoyancy while underwater. Be buoyant for surface swimming and resting. Have weights clear for easy removal, and establish buoyancy when in distress while diving.
8. Breathe properly for diving. Never hold breath or skip breath when breathing compressed air, and avoid excessive hyperventilation when breath hold diving. Avoid overexertion while in and under water and dive within my limitations.
9. Use a boat, float or other surface support station whenever feasible.
10. Know and obey local diving laws and regulations, including fish, game and dive flag laws.
