Here at ScubaTony, we pride ourselves on going above and beyond what is expected. That is how we became leaders in the Cozumel dive industry. We have created new policies and procedures by combining local regulations with what the WHO, CDC, DAN, SSI, and PADI have all suggested. Our staff has been trained in the new procedures. All of our staff have also completed their first response training and are certified to deal with people exposed to airborne pathogens. Please be considerate of our staff and take the extra measures listed below. It’s important to note that we have a very flexible cancelation policy during this time and are always willing to work with you. Thank you so much and lets FINALLY get some dives in.
In the morning/afternoon you will arrive wearing a mask. Keep the mask on. Wash your hands in the restroom to start your shift. Disinfect your shoes on the mat and put the mat by the bench for guests to disinfect their shoes. Take temperature and record it, and sign a clean bill of health (that you have no symptoms)date it and sign the temp document. Disinfect the benches. Disinfect the main touchable areas on the boat where guests will be (seats). Set up the boats like normal. DO NOT TOUCH THE VALVES OF THE TANKS OR THE FIRST STAGE OF REGS. Check o-rings prior to departure, have plenty of extra tanks. Sign and Date that you have disinfected the area before the trips on AM cleaning sheet. When guests arrive offer them hand sanitizer. Do the briefing outside the boats.
Only staff are allowed in the cooler
Hand sanitizer - do briefing in the boat.
Put scuba gear in front of the guest and offer them a sanitization wipe for final sanitization of mask and mouthpiece. (This should be in the briefing)
The diver should hold onto their mask (ask divers to keep it around their neck to prevent loss). Staff should avoid touching their regulator.
Go to a beach where everyone can spread out. DM - Put your PPE mask back on and do the briefing on the beach for the next dive site.
Disinfect equipment. Captains disinfect the entire boat and sign and date the daily cleaning sheet. Disinfect the bench area. Rental gear stays with the same person during their visit. Ask guests with their own gear to disinfect their reg and mask and take with them.
