As a member and/or diver respecting the Government of Quebec's scuba diving regulations, I agree to respect the following rules:

1.

I am aware that underwater activities involve risks; as my own safety and that of others is my priority, I hold a valid Certificate of qualifications in recreational scuba diving from the Government of Quebec as prescribed by law and in my possession the emergency equipment recommended for the activity.

2.

I carry out a self-assessment of my physical and mental health before any dives and I postpone my dives if my abilities are reduced for one reason or another or if I am not able to manage a possible emergency situation.

3.

I assess the environmental conditions of the practice area and I make sure that my knowledge and skills are adequate to carry out my activity safely. I have access to an experienced local guide if I need it.

4.

I respect the environment, flora and fauna in all stages of my underwater activity.

  • Je jette mes déchets aux endroits appropriés et je laisse les lieux plus propres qu’à mon arrivée.
  • I relieve myself in the appropriate places.
  • I preserve the seabed as well as the fauna by not touching them with my hands or my fins. I take measures to minimize my impact on the environment and I am aware of my role as an ambassador for the protection of the underwater environment, and I set an example (Longitude 181, Leave No Trace Canada, Project AWARE, etc.)
  • In residential areas, I respect the tranquility of residents by minimizing noise and footsteps of my presence.
  • Where access to water is forbidden, I respect the signs in order to support the steps taken collectively to give us all access, and help maintain a good reputation for divers in general.

5.

Whether on the water or not, I keep an eye out for other divers and assist them to the best of my ability if any of them need help. When diving, I make sure to stay in constant communication with my partner and respect his limits as well as mine.

6.

I am respectful in my interactions with any person I come across during my activity, whether he is another practitioner of underwater sports or not. I share the common spaces harmoniously and I take care of the sites that are lent to me in order to help maintain access to all.

7.

Je fais également preuve de respect envers Québec Subaquatique et son service Accréditation, les membres, les agences et tous professionnels de l’industrie. J’exprime mes opinions aux endroits appropriés et j’utilise le formulaire de plainte sur le site web de Québec Subaquatique si je souhaite dénoncer un acte répréhensible ou une situation inacceptable. Je comprends que les médias sociaux de Québec Subaquatique ne sont pas des lieux de débat public ni de médiation et je respecte les canaux mis en place pour faire valoir mes demandes ou opinions, de façon constructive.
