Diving safety is important because we need to protect ourselves when we are underwater. When we are diving we need to make sure that we know where we are going, how deep we are going, and what type of equipment we need. We also need to be careful not to stay underwater too long and to come up slowly. To stay safe when diving, you should always have a buddy who is with you and make sure that all of your equipment is in good condition before diving. Finally, it is important to check the water and ensure that it is clear and safe before you dive into it.
