History[edit | edit source]

The Diamond Reef System was developed in the late 1980s by Bill Gleason, a veteran scuba instructor and underwater explorer. Gleason's goal was to create a system that would make scuba diving safer and more accessible to people of all skill levels. The system was named after the "diamond" shape that divers form when they are properly positioned in the water.

Methodology[edit | edit source]

The Diamond Reef System uses a series of underwater exercises to teach divers how to control their buoyancy, navigate underwater, and handle emergency situations. The system is based on the principle that divers should be able to control their position in the water column at all times, and it emphasizes the importance of proper weighting, breath control, and equipment configuration.
