Dive #73 : Rescue Diver Session #1 (Mactan Island, Philippines)

Allright the first rescue diver session started with some refreshing of the basic skills such as swimming in the bottom of the sea without mask and air.

- Missing mask or extended mask removal
- Out of air, finding loose octapus without mask
- Excessive feeding regulator (not in mouth) or "breathing bubbles"
- Overexertion and ascents on alternate air source


Plus on the surface
- Towing distressed diver
- Approaching panicked diver
- Getting rid of the panicked diver (exit)

Quite meaningful stuff especially the self rescue and stress management parts. How can u handle emergencies if u can't handle yourself in one?
