23 Environmental Stewardship Encourage conservation and game law compliance. Emphasize buoyancy control and fin etiquette. Encourage non-contact diving. Set a good example Motivate divers to help preserve
24 Public Relations Remembering names Pay attention during introductions Repeat name to ensure correctness nick names? Form a mental image and write it down. Ask name if forgotten Using the person s name is important in an emergency Cocktail party phenomenon
25 Public Relations cont. I image R repetition A association
26 Public Relations cont. Diver assessment techniques Greet the divers Listen to the chatter Observe equipment set up Observe pre-dive behavior Evaluate attentiveness during briefings Mini-interviews When necessary
27 Dealing with problem or uncooperative divers Be fair, courteous, professional, consistent, objective Open with a positive statement State the problem ( be specific ) Frame it so the diver will have difficulty arguing Explain the effect of the problem Request cooperation and give specific example If diver refuses to cooperate, transfer all risk to the diver. Best to have a witness
28 Keep in mind that while we are concerned with safety as much as enjoyment, most of your divers are more concerned with fun or accomplishing their objective. The ability to exercise appropriate control techniques increases the likelihood of cooperation from your clients. That in turn increases the likelihood that everyone will leave the dive with a positive feeling.
