Shisa kanko is a Japanese safety technique that means “point-and-call.” It involves pointing at an item while stating its status aloud, which can improve attention and reduce mistakes during dive checks. This method not only enhances individual checks but also encourages teamwork during buddy checks. By adopting shisa kanko, divers can make their pre-dive safety procedures more effective and stay more aware of their equipment and surroundings. Embracing this technique can lead to safer diving experiences.
