Dive Planning Resource Centre
What makes for a great days diving? An interesting site, a reliable and like-minded buddy, perfect weather and water conditions, a stress free trip, easy access to the water? All of these things and more, probably, but all of them are driven by one activity - Dive Planning. A great dive is inevitably a planned dive.
If you reflect on the difference between dives you have enjoyed and those that have not been successful, you will generally find that the factors that made the dives unsuccessful could have been avoided with some pre-planning.
The Dive Planning Resource Centre is an area of our web site that has been set up to provide you with access to as much of the information that you need to plan successful dives as possible. All in one place, to make it as easy for you as we can. We will continue to expand this resource as new information is produced. Help us to make the Centre more useful by sending us information or links that you have found useful in your dive planning.
Note : the downloadable Word 6 and Adobe Acrobat (PDF) files allow you to save and print out copies of these useful documents for your own use. PDF files are smaller, but you need Adobe Acrobat Reader.
