No diving is permitted until there is an approved or accepted diving project plan (DPP) in place. The DPP must describe each diving operation that is part of the diving project. If necessary a separate DPP for each start-up notice may be required if significant changes to the diving work scope, location, equipment or procedures are applicable. The contents of the DPP for a diving project are specified in WHS PAGEO Regulation 83.
