Safety Stop: Top Safety Tips from our Kyalami Captains

Safety stops are an essential part of scuba diving to prevent decompression sickness. Divers should make a safety stop at about 15 feet for 3-5 minutes after every dive. This allows nitrogen absorbed during the dive to safely exit the body. Always maintain awareness of your surroundings and ascend slowly. Communicate with your dive buddy during the safety stop to discuss your dive experience.
