Divers learning to perform pre-dive tests on rebreather equipment
Introduction
Training in the characteristics and use of breathing apparatus as relevant to the certification

Diver training is the set of processes through which a person learns the necessary and desirable skills to safely dive underwater within the scope of the training standard relevant to the specific training programme. Most diver training follows procedures and schedules laid down in the associated training standard, in a formal training programme, and includes relevant foundational knowledge of the underlying theory, including some basic physics, physiology and environmental information, practical skills training in the selection and safe use of the associated equipment in the specified underwater environment, and assessment of the required skills and knowledge deemed necessary by the certification agency to allow the newly certified diver to dive within the specified range of conditions at an acceptable level of risk.

Work skills specific to the underwater environment may be included in diver trailing programmes, but are also often provided independently, either as job training for a specific operation, or as generic training by specialists in the fields.

Longer term goals
  • Get all Top importance articles to at least GA
  • Get all High importance articles to at least B-class
  • Get all Mid importance articles to at least C-class.
  • Get all the others to at least start class. Where this is impossible or inappropriate, look into merging them into other articles.
  • Rationalise coverage of the subject by splitting. merging and creating articles as seems appropriate at the time, and creating redirects wherever they will be useful.
  • Maintain and develop the navboxes to facilitate finding useful articles within the project.
  • Build up the Portal:Underwater diving so that anyone can find any reasonably important information on the subject.
