  2.8.1 The diving system and breathing gas facilities should be arranged in spaces or locations which are adequately ventilated and provided with suitable electric lighting.

  2.8.2 When any part of the diving system is sited on deck, particular consideration should be given to providing reasonable protection from the sea, icing or any damage which may result from other activities on board the ship or floating structure.

  2.8.3 Provision should be made to ensure that the diving system and auxiliary equipment are securely fastened to the ship or floating structure and that adjacent equipment is similarly secured.
