A few basic rules apply to everyone, including staff and customers, regardless of activity.
- Wash hands regularly and thoroughly with soap and water, for at least 20 seconds, or use an alcohol-based hand sanitizer (unless working with compressed gas, especially oxygen-enriched gas).
- Maintain a social distance of at least 6 feet (2 meters), and avoid direct contact with other people.
- Avoid touching your eyes, nose and mouth.
- Make sure you and the people around you follow good respiratory hygiene. Cough or sneeze into your elbow or a tissue, and dispose of the tissue right away.
- The CDC recommends wearing a face covering in public settings where other social distancing measures are difficult to maintain. Defer to local orders with regard to masks/face coverings to ensure compliance.

Question 1 of 10
1. Question
1 pointsThe main transmission risk issues with COVID-19 result from inhaling droplets from an infected person’ breath, or touching an infected surface and then contacting the face, eyes, mouth or nose.
Correct
Inhaling droplets from an infected person’ breath, or touching an infected surface and then contacting the face, eyes, mouth or nose. should be avoided.
Incorrect
You had a 50/50 chance… Airborne transmission is one of the common methods which the virus is able to spread. Another method is through contact with surfaces, such as railings, equipment, sharing of masks, snorkels, regulators and touching areas around your face after having contact with an infected surface.

Question 3 of 10
3. Question
1 pointsWhile conducting predive safety checks, social distancing is not an issue if at least one of the buddies breathes from their regulator.
Correct
While conducting predive safety checks all divers should check all their equipment. Suggested that while two buddies perform buddy checks, each diver should wear their mask and have their primary second stage in their mouth. Physical contact with the other diver is not required, for example when testing the Alternate air source, the diver can depress the purge to make sure the regulator is functioning. If the diver is placing their alternate air in the mouth, the regulator should be sanitized before entering the water. Same procedures for the oral inflation of the BCD.
Incorrect
If one diver is not breathing from their regulator and is in close contact with their buddy, they are exposed to the exhalation from the buddy with the regulator in their mouth. Both divers are recommended to be wearing their mask and breathing from a regulator when performing buddy checks in close contact. The alternative is to walk through the steps, orally and watching the buddy perform the check on their own gear. If contact is to be made, it is recommended the diver sanitize after contact..

Sneezing or coughing. Try and move downwind from everyone and face away. Use the bend of your elbow to cough or sneeze into following by sanitizing
Touching high contact surfaces such as ladders, support structure, dive bench are area which see a lot of traffic.
Regularly through out the day makes sense. Contact with the virus can come from many places -
