Mitigating Risk For Complete Noob
I've had enough of watching all the amazing videos and have decided to make this the year I go beyond light snorkeling and have a go at some spearfishing.
Of course, with a family and a general desire to stay alive a bit longer, I'd like to stay safe as I begin this journey. I plan to enroll in a FD course and follow all safety protocol including diving with companions. But I see so much about SWB I can't help but feel a bit concerned about the odds as I move forward into deeper water. So I've decided to keep it light and try to keep my dives shorter and shallower as a rule. My question is: given the fact that I'm in good physical shape and intend to follow safety measures combined with the above, can this sport be made "safe" from SWB? |
