Talk:Dive planning

Too Technical
This article is too technical and reads like an operation manual. There are a lot of terms/jargons that the general audience might not be familiar with.

Some eg includes ♠♠ BanëJ ♠♠ (Talk) 07:15, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * 1) Roles of diver attendants, Chamber operator or life support technician, In-water support team, Surface support team (what do they do exactly)
 * 2) Definition like transfer under pressure, deep bounce dives, decompression, Open circuit surface supplied diving, Hazmat emergencies, etc


 * OK, I have added links to definitions and explanatory articles. Please let me know if this is sufficient, and mark any other terms you feel should be explained with an in-line template. I am relying on you to identify the excessively technical terminology, as most of the terms should be fairly well known to divers, even at a relatively basic recreational level. Unfortunately if every technical term were to be explained in detail in the text, the subject of the article would be lost in the mass of definitions. Somewhere we must find a balance. If necessary footnote definitions could be provided. Your help is appreciated. Cheers, &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 15:19, 7 September 2012 (UTC)
 * It's much better. If you would like the article to be even better, I would suggest roping in other experts in the field to take a look.♠♠ BanëJ ♠♠ (Talk) 15:10, 8 September 2012 (UTC)


 * I've been through and identified terms that I think might not be obvious to the lay reader. I've either wikilinked them or requested clarification where I can't find a good link. It is possible that some of the terms – particularly those most related to dive planning – ought to be explained in-line at their first occurrence, but perhaps Banej would be a better judge of where that would be best. Suggestions welcome. I should add that the main template is specifically intended for where a section in an article summarises another article entirely. The use of the template in several sections here was inappropriate and I've replaced each one with a simple link via the wording, which is what wikilinks are for. Hope that helps --RexxS (talk) 14:19, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi RexxS, Thanks for your contribution, I will attend to the items mentioned. I also appreciate the information on the "main" template, as I picked up the wrong idea of how it should be used by observing how it is used. Live and learn. One small query, The clarification needed for "Delivery pressure at the same helmet". Does that refer to the meaning of delivery pressure in this context?

 * Banej, Could you check through and let us know if this is sufficient, or should I ask another knowledgeable diver to review? Please add any further clarify templates you think necessary. Cheers, &bull; &bull; &bull; Peter (Southwood) (talk): 20:43, 10 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Hi Pbsouthwood, I've gone through the article and have some suggestions
 * There are a lot of information on Selection of techniques and mode of diving It can become an article by itself
 * Diving team selection has the potential to become an article by itself too
 * For Emergency Plan, creating a section specific to diving under Emergency management and referenced it?
 * Likewise for Contingency plan?
 * Summarised the section where see also and main are used.
 * It's always a good idea to ask other editors to review the article. They might have even better ideas on improving it. Hope this is useful to you. ♠♠ BanëJ ♠♠ (Talk) 03:13, 11 September 2012 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the suggestions, I will probably get around to expanding the article, and will look into the sections you suggest for the other articles. All editors are always welcome to make constructive suggestions, and the more specific the suggestions are, the more likely they will be followed up.
