Section
9. Limit all repetitive dives to 30 metres or shallower.
10. Limit your maximum depth to your training and
experience level. As an Open Water Diver, limit
your dives to a maximum depth of 18 metres.
Divers with greater training and experience should
generally limit themselves to a maximum depth
of 30 metres. Divers with Deep Diver training
and a reasonable objective may dive as deep as 40
metres. All dives should be planned as no decompression
dives and no dive should ever exceed the
maximum depth limitation for recreational scuba
— 40 metres. Decompression diving is beyond the
parameters of the Recreational Dive Planner.
11. Never exceed the limits of the Recreational Dive
Planner and whenever possible avoid diving to the
limits of the planner. 42 metres is for emergency
purposes only, do not dive to this depth.
12. A safety stop for 3 to 5 minutes at 5 metres is
recommended at the end of all dives. A safety stop
for 3 minutes at 5 metres is required anytime you
come within three pressure groups of a no decompression
limit, and for any dive to a depth of 30
metres or deeper.
