____ your dive, dive your ___

• A. Plan, plan
• B. Plan, dive
• C. Prepare, plan
• D. Dive, plan

Answer: (A)

The idea being tested is the importance of planning before the dive and then following that plan underwater. This rule keeps choices aligned with safety goals, gas limits, and time constraints, reducing impulsive decisions in dynamic conditions.

The best fit gives you “Plan your dive, dive your plan.” The first word is a directive to create the plan, and the second uses plan as a noun to reference executing that plan. This phrasing reinforces that you should prepare beforehand and then carry out that plan while underwater, including how you manage gas, depth, and ascent, and how you handle contingencies.

Other options disrupt that idea by using a different action or by producing a phrase that isn’t the familiar safety maxim.
