What is the purpose of audits or inspections in the ADCI Dive Program?

• A. Verify compliance with safety procedures and identify improvement.
• B. Assess dive depth capabilities
• C. Evaluate animal life
• D. Determine dive rewards

Answer: (A)

Audits and inspections in the ADCI Dive Program focus on safety and continuous improvement. They verify that safety procedures are being followed, equipment is properly maintained, dive plans and emergency readiness meet established standards, and training records and drills are current. By systematically reviewing these areas, audits identify gaps, outdated practices, or noncompliance, which then lead to corrective actions, updated procedures, and targeted training. The goal is to reduce risk, improve performance, and maintain a high standard of care across operations. These activities aren’t about assessing depth capabilities, evaluating animal life, or determining rewards.
