===SEABAG===
The [[National Association of Underwater Instructors]] uses the acronym SEABAG to address all pre-dive preparations:<ref name=naui /><ref name="Ranapurwala" /> The first part relates to dive and contingency planning, and the second part to the equipment checks

; S - Site : The site survey checks if the chosen site is acceptably diveable under the prevailing weather and tidal conditions, and whether currents or other local transient hazards are present. 

; E - Emergencies : The established emergency procedures and equipment are reviewed to ensure that they are appropriate for the prevailing conditions. This may include availability of emergency oxygen available and the route to the closest [[recompression chamber]]. 

; A - Activities : What is the purpose of the dive? Are there any special risks or concerns that must be addressed?

; B - Buoyancy : Buoyancy checks include negative and positive buoyancy control devices (this includes environmental suits and equipment), and knowing where the buddy's weight and harness releases are in case they must be ditched.

; A - Air : Both buddies check each other's first and second stages, confirm the locations of their octopuses, and proof check by breathing from each other's equipment. Surface Air Consumption (SAC) rates and available breathing gas are confirmed.

; G - Gear : Other gear is checked.
