Dive Operations and COVID-19
A few basic rules apply to everyone, including staff and customers, regardless of activity.
-
Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (unless working with compressed gas, especially oxygen-enriched gas).
-
Maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet (2 meters), and avoid direct contact with other people.
-
Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
-
Make sure you and the people around you follow good respiratory hygiene. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, and dispose of the tissue right away.
-
The CDC recommends wearing a face covering in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Defer to local orders with regard to masks/face coverings to ensure compliance.

What actions should I consider during dive boat operations to prevent possible COVID-19 transmission?
This situation is one in which the risk of transmission will be high due to the limited space and proximity of people. At a minimum, consider the following suggestions. Note that these recommendations are for day boat operations; liveaboard operations are outside the scope of this answer.
-
Consider reducing the number of divers per boat to better respect social distancing, and discourage any non-diving passengers.
-
Any materials not needed for the dive operations or for safety reasons should not be taken on board.
-
Have all equipment on board before you start boarding the divers.
-
Have scuba units assembled before divers board.
-
Consider protecting masks, snorkels and second stages/mouthpieces by securing them in such a way as to limit contact/exposure.
-
Boarding procedures should be organized to respect social distancing at all times.
-
Pre-dive mask rinse buckets should not be used. Anti-fog should be used, but spitting in masks should be discouraged or disallowed (especially for rental masks). Consider having divers supply their own masks instead of providing rentals.
-
Encourage regular hand hygiene by staff, especially when handling customers’ equipment.
-
Social distancing is important to prevent the spread of a virus, but one should keep in mind that on a moving boat or in the wind, the virus may travel a longer distance. The use of protective masks will reduce the risk of contamination, but the virus can be present on any surface on board.
-
Advise everyone on board to avoid touching anything unnecessarily and to avoid touching their face.
-
Remind divers not to share equipment or even let their equipment touch.
-
Maintain social distancing while divers enter the water, and ensure that divers do not crowd together on the surface without a compelling reason to do so.
-
Encourage divers to maintain at least 6 feet (2 meters) of distance when clearing their nose, sinuses or throat at the surface or after a dive.
-
Maintain social distancing when divers get back on board.
-
In general, customers should be responsible for assembling their own equipment. If crew members handle customers’ equipment, they should practice hand hygiene before and after handling each customers’ gear.
-
Encourage divers to handle only their own equipment.
