Emergency Plan
To deal with emergencies that can occur during your dive, we plan for them in advance. For example, in the case of a missing diver, after an initial 360 degree search, we generally return to the surface, ensure our buoyancy, and wait for the other group members rather than search around underwater. As well, we prepare emergency contact information and equipment and familiarize ourselves with local emergency services.
We should always have a first aid kit at the ready. |
