Diving from Oregon State University vessels is governed by the UNOLS Research Vessel Safety Standards, and must be under the auspices of a diving program that meets the minimum American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) Standards. Principal Investigators planning diving operations should consult with the Marine Superintendent well in advance, to ensure that there is mutual interpretation of these standards and the diving policy. Also, read the full Diving Policy for R/V WECOMA.
WECOMA's Zodiac is considered adequate to support diving operations.
