NAUI members must _____.

The requirement for NAUI members to refuse to teach or lead individuals who are likely to cause harm to others is rooted in the responsibility to ensure safety during diving activities. NAUI’s commitment to diver safety emphasizes that dive instructors and divemasters must prioritize the wellbeing of all participants. This responsibility includes recognizing when an individual may pose a danger, be it due to a lack of experience, poor judgment, or other factors that could compromise safety. In these situations, it is essential to prevent such individuals from participating in diving activities under their guidance.

This approach ensures that the diving environment remains safe and enjoyable for everyone involved, and aligns with NAUI's standards of training and practice. These protocols help maintain a high standard of professionalism and integrity among divers and instructors alike, reinforcing a culture of safety in the diving community.
