Re: Bringing an unconscious Rebreather diver up from depth

The library has this amongst many contributions from Verdier.

Rescue exercisesduring trsining has taught me that in practise, extremely difficult to do without putting yourself in danger. Anyone not using a BOV is pretty well not very "save-able" unless

1) victim is already pretty close to the surface
2) have a knowledge-able Rebreather buddy who can maybe regain conciousness of the victim (if he is at least wearing a neckstrap that prevents loss of mouthpeice).
3) A highly skilled Rebreather buddy simultaneously capable of
a) protecting the victims airway
b) managing 4 to 6 air cavities to control bouyancy
c) considers you sufficiently important to risk his/her for you.

BOV's work good. Please get one (money very well spent).
