The buddy system will be drilled into the heads of beginning scuba divers. When properly practiced, scuba diving with a buddy will enhance the safety and enjoyment of diving for both divers. At the same time, do not be lulled into a false sense of security by the buddy system. Never entrust your own personal safety to anyone else. Become confident in your own diving skills and abilities, be ready to render aid to other divers, and to rescue yourself should that become necessary. Tip: Especially as beginning divers, I recommend that husbands and wives not try to buddy together. Your marriage, and your diving, will be more enjoyable without that added stress.
