Please remember that here at Lake Rawlings we believe that diving with a buddy is always your smartest and safest choice. The fun meter goes up fast when diving with a buddy. For a variety of reasons all the major dive-training organizations recommend buddy diving and this is the policy here at Lake Rawlings.
Your buddy assists you with things like planning the dive, putting on and checking your equipment before the dive, helps remind you to check your depth, time and air supply limits, and provides emergency assistance in the unlikely event you need it. They are also there when you share that once in a lifetime sighting of the rare Clown Anglerfish or a Squat Lobster.
Hopefully it goes without saying that you do the same for your buddy. With a proper buddy system, you both benefit in terms of convenience, safety and fun.
Diving is a social activity, so the buddy system is more than one of diving's safety rules - though it is that. You may be surprised how many new friends you meet through diving and the buddy system.
See you at the lake!!
Pat, Eddie & Askley hard at work
