DIVING
POLICIES
Every professional organization that uses scuba diving as a means of conducting their research
has a set of standards that their personnel must meet to be eligible to participate in scuba diving activities. The Nautical Archaeology Program (NAP) and the Institute of Nautical Archaeology
(INA) follow the dictates of the Texas A&M University Scientific Diving Safety Manual.
Please contact the Diving Safety Officer if you have any questions about these policies.
Please submit all required documentation to the
Diving Safety Officer
EQUIPMENT ORDER
We will once again be placing an
equipment order through Paradise Scuba.
Institute of Nautical Archaeology and Nautical Archaeology
Program students, staff, professors, and project directors are eligible to place orders.
Please note that all equipment must be purchased for
use on Institute of Nautical Archaeology and Nautical Archaeology Program projects and must not be purchased on
behalf of anyone outside of these programs.
Equipment may be purchased at dealer cost plus a 10%
handling fee charged by Paradise Scuba. All equipment must be ordered and paid for in full before April 15, 2003, in order for us
to receive the order before summer projects begin.
All personal payments must be in the form of a money order
or certified check. We
need a minimum $5,000 order to receive this discount, but achieving this has not been a problem in the past. We
currently have an agreement to purchase equipment at this discount from the following manufacturers:
Mares
Aqualung
SeaQuest
Suunto
Apeks
Deep
See
Dräger (buy your own rebreather!)
Price lists are available from
the Diving Safety Officer.
I will be contacting a few other manufacturers directly
to see if they would be willing to make similar arrangements, so check back soon.
