OPERATING
& RULES OF THE DIVING EXCURSIONS
Each diver receivs a personal
box, where he can leave his own equipment for all the
period of his stay. The box will be put in a storage
room, where divers can also hang their jackets and suits
to special bars, after having rinsed them. Customers
will dive in groups of max 6 divers + the guide and will
be devided depending on the level of their diving
certification: O.W.D. and/or first
level on one side
and advanced on the other. Who hasn't
dived for 12 months or more, must start
with a "check dive": some
excercises at the beginning of his first
dive with the assistance of an instructor. Tanks and jackets have to be
assembled and checked in their functions
before boarding. The boats leave with all
divers wearing their suits completely or
half
and taking with
them the strictly necessary diving
equipment. After the achorage, a detailed
briefing takes place, supported by the
map of the diving place in A3 size. .
The dives
respect the classical buddy/couple
system. At the depth of 5m there is
always a decompression station. At the
end of the dive, before taking the anchor away, hot tea and biscuits are
offered.
All loading and unloading operations of
the equipment will be realized by the
staff of the diving center.
IMPORTANT:
The dive guides go
into the water to show the diving
spot in the best way and in full
safety. It will be their
satisfaction to point out you the
best of the underwater
environment keeping you in the
best comfort. The diving guide is
not in the water to make the
instructor's or the private
guide's work (this is possible,
but with a surcharge). On the
contrary the guide is in the
water to lead a group excursion.
If the guide thinks that a diver
cannot make his dive in safety,
he can decide in any moment to
stop the dive and take the client
at risk back to the boat.
ENVIRONMENTAL
REGULATIONS
1)
It is forbidden to take
out of the water dead or
living organisms
2)
A neutral boyancy is
highly recommended, in
order to avoid damages to
the aquatic world.
3)
It's recommended to

parazoanthus
etc.
4)

that air bubbles get into
contact with living organisms. For this
reason avoid breathing
under rocky arcades and
walls with gorgons, parazoanthus, etc.
5)
Don't touch living
organisms with the hands.
6)
Don't feed the fishes.

RULES
FOR SAFETY IN RECREATIONAL DIVING
In Sardinia
from February 1999
there is a Regional
Professional Register for
all diving instructors
and guides, diving
centers and
organizations. Orso
Diving Club and its staff
are regularly registered,
as they have all the
necessary
requisites.
Beyond this
register the Region
Sardinia has legiferated
on recreational diving
according to the
international standards
of safe diving and the
Orso Diving Club fully
respects these laws.What's
more, the Orso Diving
Club is located in the
heart of the Marine Park
of the Archipelago of La
Maddalena and is a
recognized diving center,
authorized to work in this
area. As a matter of fact
most of our dives are in
this Marine Park, with
the only exceptions of
the dives in Tavolara and
in Corsica.
Considering
that the infringement of
the Regional Laws and of
the Marine Park Rules on
Recreational Diving has
strong penal consequences
and that in any case the
Orso Diving Club
completely accepts them,
anyone who will dive with
the Orso Diving Club has
to respect the following:
1) It is compulsory the use
of the following
equipment: jacket,
alternate air source, air
gauge, diving instruments
(computer and/or depth
gauge, timer and diving
tables).
2) It is forbidden to dive
beyond the depth
recognised by the owned
diving certification
(O.W.D. 18m;
A.O.W.D. 30m). For dives
beyond 30m it is
compulsory to have a Deep
Dive Specialty Certification
or to be a professional
(Dive Master or
Instructor) or to have an
equivalent certification.
3) It
is forbidden to dive
beyond 40m
4) It is
forbidden to make
decompresssion dives
5) It
is forbidden to dive
beyond the depth limits
planned by the
guide
6) It
is forbidden to separate
from the group and/or
from the
buddy.
7) It
is forbidden to exit the
water with less than
30bar in the tank.
The above
mentioned rules are
related to safety, so
they are the most
important. If they are
not obeyed, the ODC will
reserve the right to
forbid further dives with
its organization.
