The Coastguard urged divers to obtain the necessary training and qualifications, ensure they are physically and medically fit to dive, plan their diving trips in advance, check weather, sea and water current conditions, and inform the Coastguard station of the diving location, time and expected return time.
They highlighted the importance of inspecting diving equipment and breathing regulators, ensuring connections are secure and checking the air level in the cylinder, as well as maintaining equipment regularly.
