What is the main purpose of reviewing safety protocols during post-dive debriefings?

The main purpose of reviewing safety protocols during post-dive debriefings is to improve future dive safety and performance. This process allows the dive team to assess what went well and what did not during the recent dive, highlighting any areas that may require adjustments or enhancements in protocols. By examining safety practices and potential hazards encountered, dive supervisors can implement changes that foster a safer environment for future dives.

During these debriefings, teams discuss specific safety protocols that were followed or overlooked, which directly influences how divers prepare and respond to underwater situations. This continuous improvement mindset is essential for developing a culture of safety, ensuring all divers learn from each experience and minimize the risk of accidents in subsequent dives.
