dive emergency procedures
Dive emergencies require calm, prompt action. If a diver experiences symptoms like severe breathlessness, confusion, or unconsciousness, they should signal for help immediately. If possible, the diver should share their air source with a buddy and ascend slowly to the surface, making safety stops if appropriate. Once surfaced, they need rapid access to emergency medical care. Preventative measures include proper training, equipment checks, and sticking to safe diving limits. Staying calm, aware, and prepared ensures the best outcome in emergencies.
