Dive Flag & Scuba Diving Safety
The AUC is developing a Public Service Announcement video for airing throughout Alberta and Canada. The video's aim is to educate divers and boaters about the importance of recognizing and understanding the meaning of the Diver Down flag.
In addition to this, the AUC attends many provincial outdoor adventure and boat shows to help educate our boaters about the meaning of the Dive Flag and to promote our programs to the public.
Volunteers Wanted: AUC volunteers are asked to put up dive flag safety awareness signs at docks, marinas, lakes and other common dive sites to help make the public aware that divers also use the local waters & how their actions when boatings will help prevent tragedies & save lives!
AUC has supported dive clubs to help purchase AED & 02 Kits, plus additional safety gear that's provided at most AUC Dive Alberta & Lake Cleanup events whenever possible
Scuba Diving Safety - it's all up to you!

Sport Accident Insurance
All registered & current members participating in AUC sanctioned events are covered by our small sport accident insurance policy.
However, divers & underwater hockey players are still encouraged to purchase additional medical travel insurance while traveling to scuba dive or compete in tournaments.
