Get some excitement into your diving: Tell your boat skippers what YOU want to dive
Do a trip a year to a place the club has never been before and dive something different
Plan your expedition meticulously: it will save you time and grief in the long run
Delegate ALL the responsibility in the critical areas to well qualified and reliable team members
Make sure you have a list of everyone on the trip with their qualifications, current BSAC membership details, recent experience, skills (such as VHF operator / Oxygen Administrator etc), mobile phone, allergies and emergency contact details
Use your dive management sheets: Make sure your dive manager of the day checks everyone in and out of the water
Know the capabilities of your divers and match that against the objectives of the trip
Make sure you have all the equipment you need and it's well serviced and reliable
Check the weather before the expedition sets off
Think safe: Undertake a risk assessment for every dive or series of dives and then, if necessary, change things to make the dives safer
