Most activities are safer with a companion, and diving is no exception. A dive buddy provides assistance during preparations, a set of eyes to look after your safety, and assistance in the event of an incident or accident.

Safety isn't the only benefit of the buddy system. Diving is more enjoyable when you have someone to share the experience with. A buddy provides a second set of eyes to search for marine life, a feeling of security knowing you aren't alone, and a friend to share the memory with after the dive is completed.
