An Emergency Action Plan (EAP) is a simple document that organizes critical information before a dive begins. If something goes wrong underwater or at the surface, the team already knows where to go, who to call, what equipment is available, and how the response should unfold. Planning these details in advance removes confusion when time matters most.
This tool helps you build a basic Emergency Action Plan for a recreational dive site, charter, or training operation. Enter the dive location details, nearby medical facilities, and key emergency contact numbers. The checklist section confirms that essential safety equipment is available. The risk assessment section encourages you to think through the specific conditions at the site and how your team would prevent or respond to common problems.
When finished, the builder generates a printable Emergency Action Plan that can be kept with dive gear, on a boat, or posted at the dive site. The goal is not to create a complex document, but a clear one that can actually be used if an incident occurs.
