  Awesome video James. Coincidentally in my case, taking the Rescue Diver course last summer lead me to volunteer with my local Dive and Rescue team. During the course I realized in the rare chance I ever need to use these skills, it's going to be to recover not rescue. 6 minutes, that's all the time we've got when something goes wrong. We operate under the umbrella of the Sheriffs Dept. but are comprised fully of volunteers (Although some are also fulltime FD, EMT, and one ER nurse). Being a small county in SE MN right along the Mississippi, there aren't enough calls to warrant a full time team. We are actually doing a training with an ERDI (yep never heard of ERDI before joining the team) shop in a couple weeks for a couple of us new guys to get dry suit and full face mask certified. Always nice when the county is paying for me to get some new certifications. Not looking forward to the day I need to use these skills but, I'm happy to be part of a team that will bring someone home.

  The only thing I would add is that rescue diver is one of the best courses that can be taken by a recreational diver

  In the late 80s I was a volunteer with a small rule rescue squad, and that was the level of training. They took us to the equivalent to rescue diver because we didn’t have public safety diver trained instructors in the area. I look back at those days and I consider myself very lucky I didn’t end up injured as a result of the bad practices we had.

  💯💯 spot on. Thank you James for reviewing this. Most important part James covered = you aren’t going from recreational ratings to PSD without being career first responder in 99% of the cases. Being paid to be a tow truck SCUBA rigger called by local jurisdictions doesn’t necessarily make you a PSD either 😎

  Having Rescue does not entail you to recover vehicles or victims... PSD is not for the recreational diver. It's a job and a shitty job. It's cold, blind (water resembles black or chocolate milk) and hopefully God is nice and doesn't give you debris, entanglement hazards, current or hazardous marine life. To give you an idea. I can't past mid forearm and I'm feeling around for a victim. It's not fun, ever.

  I enjoy it more than looking at reefs. Working by feel to rig a class A wrecker to a submerged vehicle, training days chasing gator trails (where the water goes from dark to absolute black along a path), its surfacing an seeing snakes that I’m not fond of.

• 
  @johnscholven903420 сағат бұрын

  @JasonPrather-MSTI Definately a difference. Reefs are nice, having grown up in Ft. Lauderdale for 15 years but my favorite is large/deep wreck dives. I don't have to deal with Gators up here in Appalachia but man 44° water in Feb when you forgot your hood sucks.

  I save lives for a living (or as I prefer - delaying a death) and I'm also a course director for Advanced Life Support courses (i.e. I teach doctors, nurses and paramedics how to resusitate people effectively) and I've been doing my job for the best part of 40 years (1 year before my C-card was issued), and I often watch participants on 'rescue diver' practical courses and I am stunned at how much lack of evidence goes into these courses. There are two things we (healthcare professionals) know save lives; high quality CPR and early defibrillation. In water rescue breaths, and all the other bs is just that. The PADI / SSI / SDI et al all need to seriously update their training and teach their students to get people OUT of the water and jump on the chest - rescue breaths do nothing if blood is no longer going round and round. Oh and if you're not practicing your CPR every 3 months, then you're no longer competent - muscle memory folks.

  Totally agree! “Just keep jumping to get the heart pumping.” Or, “No use waiting to dock to give the heart a shock.” Defibrillators should be mandatory equipment on ALL recreational dive boats.

  @achilles6312Күн бұрын

  Public safety diving and regular diving aren’t in the same class, PSD is a dope on the end of a rope doing patterns, you’re diving in shit water, in shit trim, with shit sac, doing work. It is however very rewarding to bring a loved one back to their family, couldn’t care less about finding cars and evidence, but that’s apart of it too.

  Wish you were so “honest and critical” when reviewing this bullshit diving cylinder auto-buoyancy system of a friend of yours or doing iWatch / oceanic combo review. This review is not really unbiased; missing fact of AI requiring extra hardware picking on solar that is not supposed to change the watch or going after tec/CcR that is a great feature if you want this watch to become your backup when you progres into Tec while still having great smartwatch.

  Agreed! I have my own gear, I assemble it myself, check it with my buddy. It's even not a tragedy to carry it to the boat (is healthy to do some extra exercise :) ). Maybe because my buddy (also my son) and me are used to do our own dives (without guidance), but I would feel very uncomfortable to allow someone else to mess with my gear.

  Hi, I checked with our dive center on the need of personal insurance, they told me it’s not required, as when you dive with instructor or guide it’s covered by the dive centers insurance. Would you agree or is this wrong information?

  Is there a full face snorkel mask that has that feature you mentioned where you breath in through one part of the tube and out the other? I love how easy it is to breath in this type of mask, and usually just use it for swimming laps in a pool, but I'd prefer to get one that gets me fresh oxygen...

  Very helpful, thank you. Do you or any of your listeners know what a potential culprit could be if there’s water ingress into the second stage only when I’m in a different position other than in the standard swimming position? Like when I look behind me to check on my buddy or when I look up towards the surface. Weirdly, this is the only time I’m noticing water in my second stage.

  I use a regular semi soft suitcase for checked bag rather than labelled dive bag. And on a dive trip I take two dive computers in case one fails I'm still good for the rest of the trip. And of course my GoPro with a video light, it's important for me to film to remember and review. And I take nitrox and CO analyzer.

  Seems like a solution to something we already have an answer for. Any pump pumping salt water is gonna need major maintenance. Just use a BC like we always have. What's the point? Plus I can add air to my BC in an emergency. No thanks. To complicated.

  I was on the sardine run last year when Diver’s ready was there, and the answer is it really depends. For a large bait ball the Divemaster will tell everyone to get on SCUBA since it will be there for awhile and at depth. For a smaller one or one that’s almost entirely eaten you’ll wear snorkeling gear. We had a good mix of both while I was there, jumping into the water around 5-8 times per day from what I remember.
