- Support UC Systemwide Dive & Boat Safety Programs
The UCSB Dive and Boat Safety Program manages and helps support the UC Enterprise Dive and Boat Safety Program, however any UCB, UCI, UCM, UCR or Gump Station diving and boating activities operate specifically under the UC Enterprise Dive and Boat Safety Manual and Control Board.

This program enables these UC campuses to meet the scientific diving standards of the Federal and California Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) and the American Academy of Underwater Sciences (AAUS) by providing the training, dive planning, and logistical support required for this type of underwater work. Furthermore, it helps ensure that all university-related scientific boating activities meet the requirements set forth by the US Coast Guard, the California Department of Boating and Waterways, and the Scientific Boating Safety Association.
