50m with no bailout? Enough said.

btw whats the point of a safety diver who is not carrying OC gas??

task of safety diver: freedivers are rescued by an independent flotation system which consists of a 3-5 litre tank directly connected to a liftbag. in case of emergency the athlete is hooked on that and sent to the surface. they do not breathe from any gas source.

at such events safety diver systems usually include staged bailout gas along a diver line. regardles of ccr or oc.
