Very cool to see someone getting rescue breaths in water! Firefighter here. Pro tip: Only breath enough to rise the chest, it's very little, A breath that's too large and forceful will often result in air bypassing the lungs, moving to the stomach causing the patient to vomit, This can lead to airway issues. cheers,

Still the best video I can find on PADI Rescue Diver Exercise #7 - I often share with my students :)

Thank you! We are truly honored!

Props to the casualty, did a fantastic job

Thank you so much for this video. I just received my rescue diver rating and throughout my scenarios I could hear your voice “1 one thousand 2 one thousand 3 one thousand” it truly helped me more immensely! Great video, great instructor!

YAY! Congratulations! We're so happy to be able to help in our tiny way! Stay safe and healthy!

Thanks. Once we are certified as a Rescue Diver, we hopefully never use the skills that we learned. I like to get refreshed on skills, to they are available, if needed. This video is helpful.

I have very low buoyancy, with my lungs fully inflated, lying completly still in clear water, my head will drop underwater. Wouldn't it be better to leave the BCD on the body to prevent this?

The actual rescue happens on the land, not on the surface of the sea. The goal of rescue #7 is to prepare the victim to get out of the water as soon as possible with a little try giving some air. My guess is that if someone else is on the land to help dragging the victim out, there may be no need taking the bcd out. But, if I'm the only rescuer, I would want my victim to be light as they can be and myself too.

Pretty good, though the initial counting was a bit slow as I timed it with the seconds on my watch

Wouldn't the BCD help with floatation?

I've never understood this as well... BCD is like life vest. What happens if this was to happen in turbulent seas? I'd want to know that the victim will not sink.

​@@fasst27 Judgment guys... On the video the victim has a wet suit that gives her enough flotation. So the bcd its only making it worse to swim. In a situation where the conditions are not good or if the victim will sink without the BCD you won't be taking it out. It's is important not to limit yourself to a single method and evaluate the pros and cons for a particular scenario.

With all due respect, I would just hurry to get the victim out of the water as I give rescue breath and forget about removing gear, we only have few minutes to give an effective CPR. Cheers and safe diving. Peace

@@fasst27 If you are alone with a victim in turbulent seas far from a ship or the shore then your first error in judgment was to dive at all. This exercise is to be done as a last resource when everything else failed, is this or nothing. You need to use your own judgment, is buoyancy more important or is swim speed (without equipment) more important? This is not something rigid that must be done as it is shown here all the times, it is a like a set of tools. Use at your own judgment.

Guys at 53 it reads “establish buoyancy an inflate bcd.

Stupid question, probably, but why do you remove all the equipment (well, BCDs)? So far out, I mean... I get why you'd want to when you get close to shore.

To make exiting the victim from the water easier and in some situations faster to transport them whilst still in the water! Its all good practice in the unlikely event you ever encounter an unconcious diver ;)

I disagree. In both SAA & BSAC training for club & sport divers that covers rescue, the BCD is the only thing that keep both the diver & rescuer afloat. throwing away your mask is not wise either if you are in open water, you can pull down to your neck. In this video it looks ok for relative calm water like where you are and in a shallow water. The BCD aids in the ease in securing the diver during extraction from the water despite the tank. it is easier, I guarantee that from real situation of immobilised diver. Without the harness, where are you going to grab? especially if current is in play. Removing your own BCD also jeopardise rescuer safety in open water. All the other resuscitation were really well executed and crystal clear. thanks.

This is obviously a demonstration designed to help participants practice the various steps they may have to prepare for in the real world! If in the unlikely event a rescue diver needs to assist an unconscious diver they would choose the option best suited to the conditions and situation on the day this may or may not require equipment removal but the skill still needs to be practiced! In the PADI system all options are experienced so the rescuer can make his own choice.. In the film I am simply demonstrating techniques and the various options so they can be viewed by participants who may not be familiar with the excersise! If the victim needs to be carried up a boat ladder or jetty by one rescuer then maybe the equipment would need to be removed so best we practice! When giving rescue breaths the mask would clearly hinder the task if around the neck or left in place but if you wish to teach that feel free! Hey everyone its a practice session and only one small component of a very comprehensive course!....

Downbelow Adventures having been through the PADI Rescue course well said and great video. This training is very beneficial to any diver. It provides tools and options so when / if a real need arises one has practiced training and confidence to draw from to take action instead of freezing up and felling helpless. It has proven to save lives and most importantly bring awareness to seeing things that could potentially become issues and correct them before becoming a full on emergency situation!
