Safety is of paramount importance in our diving center. Prevention is the beginning of everything. Safety is invaluable and the safety measures taken are sometimes boring for some people. For the staff of Deep Blue Divers, it is the rule and it is followed to the letter.
Prevention and safety are the two starting points in every one of our activities. They are the unbreakable rules of our schools and we try to pass them on to our divers who take part in entertainment dives.
Always remember ! It is better to waste a minute of your life in safety procedures than waste your life in a minute. Tomorrow’s dive is the reward that you dived safely today.
