Hi Lads,

Is there any recommendation for recovering an unconscious diver from depth (open water) where deco obligation took place? To make it easier and avoid confusion let say a 70m dive with 30 minutes bottom time where:

A) diver passed out in 5th minute since submerged

B) diver passed out in 25th minute since submerged

Would you take the risk and escort the body all the way up in both cases?
Would you send the body up feet first (sounds crazy to me)?

I was just wondering what would be the best approach.

All the best,
Frank
