Diving Operations Permit to Work

This Diving Operations Permit to Work template helps plan, authorize, and control in-water work around vessels and yachts. It covers diver certification and fitness, equipment checks for BCD, depth gauge, and signaling devices, communication testing between divers, tenders, and the bridge, and critical vessel isolations before hull work, including overboard discharges, propulsion and gearboxes, stabilizers, thrusters, steering pumps, cathodic protection, echo sounder, and shell door operations. It prompts hoisting of the International Code Flag A, availability of oxygen and first aid at the entry and exit points, and logging dive times. For tender-based dives, it includes confirmations to the yacht, medical equipment checks, and identification of emergency services, nearest hospital, and hyperbaric chamber, plus weather and sea condition reviews. Opening and closing sections ensure permits are time-bound, all parties are informed, and competent and authorizing officers sign off.
