True or False the client controls dive safety decisions?

• A. False
• B. True
• C. Sometimes
• D. Not specified

Answer: (A)

Safety decisions on a diving operation are made by the dive supervisor who has the on‑site authority to assess hazards, approve or adjust the dive plan, and stop work if conditions are unsafe. The client may specify goals, timelines, or requirements and provide resources, but they do not control safety actions. The supervisor must prioritize safety above schedule or client pressure, and has the authority to continue, modify, or abort a dive based on conditions, procedures, and risk assessment.
