INTRODUCTION: CORE REBREATHER LEVEL 3
Rescue invokes the epic dramas as only television and films can sensationalize as the average human has a fascination with tragedy of others. Is it for the fame and or the sympathy received for a brief period? Whatever the reason, there is another saying Not on my watch!
An airline pilot, whilst interviewed on television, was asked how many successful flights he has had to which he replied you mean landings don't you?
With the scuba diver, anyone can put on SCUBA and descend underwater, that is generally not the quandary. The ability to safely stay underwater and more importantly to return to the surface, therein lays the predicament.
The next question that needs to be asked is the action worth the risk? Considering today's action risk statistics, relating to many, sometimes inconsequential activities, for which we accept without thought everyday, the answer is a resolute - yes.
Even though the statistics show diving as a low risk, it is still not a risk to take for granted, and anybody who thinks otherwise should not be diving. Like the airline pilot, how many safe ascents have you had?
What is a good rescue? One that is not required, because of all the preparation and forethought that has been taken into account, the necessity is not needed. Unfortunately, even with thorough preparation accidents still happen.
Familiarity breeds contempt and therein lays the fault; the laxity of divers.
