Diving Operations. Research staff whom are Divers regularly participate in high-risk activities as part of their jobs when performing under-water diving. Under-water diving is generally considered to be a high- risk activity. Every effort is made to ensure that diving operations are carried out with the highest safety standards. All diving personnel are trained to the standards specified by the Department of Labour, and diving is conducted under this Department’s diving regulations. Since the inception of the new diving regulations in 2007, Divers now operates under the Code of Practice for Scientific Diving. This Code requires the Diving Supervisor to complete a thorough risk assessment before each diving operation and to manage the risks accordingly. Despite efforts to reduce risk, diving operations always carry a very real potential for both debilitating and life-threatening accidents. Such accidents may occur due to vagaries of the sea and weather (such as tides, currents, etc.), accidental contact with harmful marine life (which may range from such events as stings from jellyfish, to shark attack), equipment malfunction and failure, entanglement, and human error.
