PROPER DIVING PROCEDURE

1) Uneccessary personnel are ordered off the bridge. A final check of the horizon is completed by the commander. Confirmed by the watch officer. The potential for spotting a target on the surface should never be wasted.

2) A depth sounding should be made and recorded in the log. Navigator should mark the nav map with the boats current location.

3) Speed should be increased, in order to facilitate a quick travel from the surface to safety depth (20m). Once safety depth has passed, sound location speed can be ordered. Hydrophone checks should be made often while en route to desired depth.

4) The boat, all compartments, and stuffing boxes should be inspected for leaks.
