Abstract

In recent years there has been a tremendous increase in scuba diving by fisheries division staff in the Pacific Islands. National and regional training courses for fishery personnel have been sponsored by several donor agencies and have resulted in the training of a large number of staff. This has enabled local staff to perform tasks that previously were carried out by expatriate personnel. As with the introduction of any new technology that contains some degree of physical danger, there have been problems. In some Pacific countries fisheries division staff have been involved in accidents. In others, unsafe diving practices could easily result in a disaster. Some equipment used is inadequate for the tasks while other gear is in poor condition.
