Dive Site Emergency Information Sheet
This is a narrower companion to a full Emergency Action Plan -- the site-specific facts worth having on hand and reviewed before any dive at a given location, even a routine one, so that information isn't being looked up for the first time during an actual emergency.
Address, coordinates, entry-point description
Local emergency number, nearest facility
Marked private, still available to your team
Site access
- Site name, address, and general coordinates
- Nearest road access for emergency vehicles
- Entry-point description
Communication and medical
- Local emergency number for the area
- Cellular coverage notes
- Nearest suitable medical facility and estimated travel time
Coordinates can be sensitive
A site's exact coordinates are sometimes worth keeping private -- a permit-access location, a site the operator doesn't publicize, or simply personal preference. A good information sheet lets you mark coordinates private while still keeping them available to your own team.
Dive Backup organizes information entered by the dive team. It does not calculate whether a dive is safe or replace training, certification, professional judgment, dive computers, agency standards, or a live predive briefing.
Filling this in on paper works until conditions change or a diver drops out. Dive Backup turns it into a shared, reviewable plan your whole team can see, so nothing gets decided verbally and forgotten.
