Rescue Exercise 1: Tired Diver
OverviewThis exercise teaches you the correct procedures for
responding to a distressed diver who, although still rational, needs assistance. Focus first on assessing the victim and the problem, then on
acting to provide assistance.

Rescue Exercise 1: Tired Diver
Skill and Technique BriefingApproach
Have mask, snorkel, and fins available. Swim with your head out of the water Continuously watch the tired diver. Evaluate the victim’s state of mind. Pace your approach.

Skill and Technique Briefing continued… Evaluate
Halt your approach near, but out of reach of the tired diver. Note the location and type of BCD inflator. Talk diver through the difficulty.
Make Contact Establish personal buoyancy. Approach from the front. Request the diver to take action. Use a contact-support position. Provide the tired diver with positive buoyancy.

Rescue Exercise 1: Tired Diver
Skill and Technique Briefing continued…Equipment Removal
Tired divers may fail to discard their equipment due to impaired thought processes caused by stress.
Other than dropping weights to establish buoyancy, removing equipment is low priority.
You may want to remove tired diver’s tank to facilitate swimming or to exit in challenging conditions.
Practice the use of the rescuer’s BCD as an extension. Practice removing the victim’s weights.

Rescue Exercise 1: Tired Diver
ConductWear full scuba in water too deep to stand up in.
Practice the exercise playing both roles of “victim” and “rescuer”.
Practice each phase of the tired diver response. Practice towing using various techniques. Continually evaluate the victim’s state of mind.
Focus on developing rescue techniques that workfor you.

Rescue Exercise 2: Panicked Diver
Overview In this exercise, you’ll learn to evaluate and respond
to a panicked diver. Apply the techniques you have already learned. Focus on safely rescuing an irrational diver and assisting the
diver as necessary.

Skill and Technique BriefingApproach and Evaluation
Approach and evaluate victim’s condition beyond the victim’s immediate reach.
Note the location and type of BCD inflator. Attempt to talk to the diver. Determine whether you should make contact on the surface
or from underwater.

Rescue Exercise 2: Panicked Diver
Skill and Technique Briefing continued… Releases
If you get into the panicked diver’s grasp, use a release to regain control.
The best technique will depend on your and the victim’s physical characteristics.
If you can’t gain control, stay clear until the victim reaches exhaustion.

ConductWear full scuba in water too deep to stand up in.
Practice the exercise playing both roles of “victim”and “rescuer”.
Practice each phase of the panicked diver rescue. Practice surface and underwater approaches and
different releases.
Focus on developing rescue techniques that workfor you. Dealing with a panicked diver is the most dangerous situation
for a rescuer.

Scenario Practice
OverviewScenario practice teaches you to intelligently apply
what you have learned in Rescue Exercises 1 and 2. Your goal is to react appropriately to differing rescue
scenarios. Stop, Breathe, Think, and Act. Evaluate the circumstances and make the best decision. Apply what you have learned “on the fly.”

Scenario Practice
Performance RequirementBy the end of this scenario practice, you should
be able to: With no prior knowledge of a simulated victim’s state of
mind (panicked or tired), demonstrate an effective rescue of a responsive diver at the surface with respect to approach, evaluation, contact, assistance and transport, using releases and/or removing equipment as appropriate.

Scenario Practice
Conduct Wear full scuba in water too deep to stand up in.
Practice the scenarios playing both roles of “victim”and “rescuer”.
Buddy teams will be changed often so you can practice rescuing different people.
Focus on assessing the situation. The need for releases. The tired diver who panics when you approach. The panicked diver who calms down once buoyant. The passive panicked diver. The diver who is too tired to swim.

Performance review. What happened? Were there mistakes? What worked? What didn’t work? What did you learn?
Did you use good judgment in evaluating the“victim’s” situation?
Let’s compare and contrast the different techniques used. Disassemble and stow equipment. Next class assignment.
