1991 survey of 27 recreational multi-day diving operations

Abstract

A survey of 7 training organizations, 18 dive resort operations and 9 live-aboard dive operations was done to determine the repetitive and multi-day diving practices actually in existence today. In this study, which represents an estimated 1.6 million dives annually, the typical numbers of dives per day, consecutive days of diving, surface intervals, depth distribution and the safety practices of recreational divers were identified and recorded.
