■Class Control
During fun dives, perform class control to provide participants with a
safe diving experience.
When conducting fun dives, determine the distance and position with participants.
Sun: If the sunlight is low and dazzling, ensure that participants do not face the sun directly.
Water depth: When stopping in an area where the water depth gradually increases,
the Dive Professional positions themselves on the deeper side, with participants
on the shallower side. Participants should stand in water about chest-high,
taking into account their height so that they do not feel the weight of
the scuba gear on their shoulders (the water surface should be around chest
level).
Wind direction: To ensure that the Dive Professional's instructions
are easily heard by participants, position yourself upwind.
Visibility:
To ensure clear communication underwater, the Dive Professional should
always maintain eye contact with the participants. Additionally, ensure
that all participants are within the Dive Professional's field of view,
and at the same time, position the participants so that the Dive Professional
is within their field of view.
■Communication Techniques
To ensure safe and enjoyable fun diving, let's master communication techniques:
1. Speak calmly and slowly.
2. Repeat important points.
3. Allow time for participants to think by pausing between statements.
4. Relax your facial expressions and body language.
5. Speak from a position where everyone can see you.
6. Maintain a neat appearance and attire.
7. When speaking with your back to participants, speak at a volume that can be heard.
8. Use complex words only after providing a short and clear definition.
9. Use minimal filler words like "um" and "uh."
10. Use a conversational style when addressing participants.
11. Actively use non-verbal communication such as hand signals and gestures.
12. Instill a sense of "consideration for nature" and "safety mindset" among participants, as these contribute to a comfortable diving experience.
