Catalina DSMB Workshop

This hands on training experience is designed to help divers confidently deploy and manage a delayed surface marker buoy in real world conditions. Participants learn essential techniques for safe and controlled deployment while maintaining buoyancy awareness and situational control. The session emphasizes clear communication safety procedures and proper equipment handling, ensuring divers feel prepared and calm underwater. Practical guidance builds confidence and improves overall dive awareness, making this skill valuable for both recreational and advanced diving environments.

Through guided practice and expert instruction, divers gain a deeper understanding of when and how to use a surface marker buoy effectively. The experience focuses on reducing task loading while increasing precision and confidence. By the end of the session, participants are better equipped to signal their position manage ascents safely and enhance group coordination. This training supports safer dives and stronger self reliance, adding an important skill to every divers toolkit.
