In this chapter, you’ve learned how to handle emergencies. A key takeaway is that preventing problems is far easier than resolving them after they occur. Your experience in diving should reinforce the idea that it’s a generally safe activity, where multiple errors typically need to coincide to cause an accident. This underscores the importance of developing a habit of self-reflection. As a Snorkeling Guide, it’s crucial to conduct an honest, objective analysis of your daily performance. With constructive self-criticism, you can identify any mistakes made (even those without immediate consequences or unnoticed by snorkelers) and learn how to avoid repeating them.
Remember, learning is a continuous, lifelong process. If you have any questions or concerns, don’t hesitate to seek advice from your SNSI Instructor. They will be more than willing to provide support and guidance, even after you have achieved your certification as an SNSI Snorkeling Guide.
