Scuba Divers Make a Final Okay During the Pre-Dive Safety Check

Instructors Natalie Novak and Ivan Perez of www.divewithnatalieandivan.com look over each other's gear one last time and make a final "okay" during the pre-dive safety check.

Now that the each diver has confirmed that his gear is functioning properly, the last step of the pre-dive safety check is to glance over the gear and make sure that everything is in place. Are all the hoses secured in their proper positions? Are both divers wearing fins and masks? Have both divers remembered to take their sunglasses and hats off? Yes? Then you are good to go! Have a great dive!

Special thanks to Natalie Novak and Ivan Perez of www.divewithnatalieandivan.com for taking the time out of their busy teaching and diving schedule in Mexico to help me with the photos!
