Also, ensure that diver training is an established, regular evolution in your command's routine. Cancelled training due to operational commitments should be quickly and firmly rescheduled. Make the training interesting and informative by varying training topics and presenting them in new ways. In conjunction with your instructors, formulate innovative and easily understood approaches to present the training lectures. Involve everyone in the presentation of diver training.
Nothing is duller than listening to the training petty officer or chief give every lecture.
Occasionally administer tests or quizzes to wake up your crew, and get them actively involved in the lectures presented. Don't forget drills. Remember, training does not always imply lectures. An effective training program includes frequent drills in emergency procedures as well as practice in routine and non-routine operations. Cross-training in different positions is also encouraged.
