Dive #74 : Rescue Diver Session 2, Mactan Divers (Mactan Island, Philippines)

Continuing the rescue course with missing diver search patterns and rescue breathing and other first aid on the surface.


- Missing Diver Procedures
- Surfacing an unconscious diver
- On the surface first aid equipment and first aid procedures.
- Towing unconscious diver to the shore while simulating rescue breaths

This stuff gets quite tirening at times, so it really pays off to exercise regularly. Its still the haunting experience from the Belize Blue Hole that motivates me to do this stuff. After seeing a panicked (buddy!) diver in 35 meters launching for a vigorous emergency ascent leaving u speechless incapable for proper reaction is something I DONT want to experience again. And indeed, next time I know what to do.

To be continued tomorrow.
