Just a quick query - you mention removing the gear and then doing the tow. Isn't it better to keep the BCD in place during the tow and then remove once you're at the end of the tow (perhaps after having removed most of the releases except the belly release)? Surely any buoyancy is better, especially if it's a long tow back to shore. Of course if it's just a short tow to a boat, then it doesn't matter much.

the rescued person is a good demonstrator 😀😀😀😀😇 when i look at him , he is really needs a help

video title says missing diver dry run, but the video itself is for panicked diver dry run.

Can we move on already

I agree

Thank you. I had little time to.prep but you saved me preptime and gave me some fresh ideas.

I did mine just a few weeks ago - exchanging EVERYTHING (except clothes obviously) using 1 regulator only.

the music is super distracting from the important stufff youa re talking about, really frustrating to try to focus and listen and watch.

You are using the 2023 Instructor Manual. According to the 2024 Manual : Continuing Education Administrative Document (10038 or EU 10541) with Diver Medical Form (10346)

PADI cringe

Nice video, though I believe the masks were not exchanged but rather removed and replaced.

These videos are great for new (and seasoned) instructors! Would have loved to have these before I started teaching Rescue. Dive centers aren’t always providing adequate mentorship or guidance for instructors fresh out of the IDC. I was able to recall a lot from taking my own rescue course luckily 😅 glad these videos are here now!

Is the regulator being held in place with the divers airway open?

Very nice trim and buoyancy. Well done. However, I thought that you need to do this while both share 1 regulator. But maybe the PADI requirements have been lowered recently?

We train our DMs to do all this while buddy sharing 1 regulator ... Far more stress control needed

Nicely done

I searched and got this...thought there would be more explanation and descriptions about the course

Best “specialty” you can take. Period.

Thank you!! 🙂

Thank you!

My top tips...make a habit of not ascending at all, under power. With this habit you will avoid safety issues related to rapid ascent. Also...never go further from the boat or shore entry point than you can swim without propulsion in case the machine fails. Swim / propel against current to allow for return with the current. When starting, turn around after a brief period and see if it is difficult to go in the return direction. You may want to stay near the boat by tacking back and forth in different directions, frequently passing by the anchor point. This allows you to explore widely, while never venturing out too far. If interested in finding lost gear, swim parallel to the reef line, but a good direction away ...you may find items not found quickly as they have drifted away from the reef. I like to manually inflate my bcd after ascent...this is a reminder that it can be done. Unfortunately, many have drowned after panic on the surface, failing to drop weights or inflate the unit. This is also a reminder that you can inflate another diver's vest in an emergency.
