Planning a club trip: Summary - Top ten tips

Village Bay, St Kilda

  • 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
