Reminder on Logbook Maintenance

International contactors have begun enforcing logbook maintenance, including refusal for divers to go into Saturation if logs have not been maintained.

The International Marine Contractors Association (IMCA) has advised ADAS that recently some offshore contractors  have begun refusing divers entry into Saturation because they have failed to maintain their diving logbooks. Maintaining your diver logbook is a legal requirement in Australia and the UK (and many other locations), and it is the Supervisor’s responsibility to check that a diver’s logbook has been properly completed before signing.
