Defensive Diving: What Every Tender Should Know About Dive Harvest Safety

Defensive Diving: What Every Tender Should Know About Dive Harvest Safety, introduces dive tenders to vessel safety, basic dive operations, and dive emergencies. It is an invaluable tool for commercial dive harvesters or any divers who want their onboard tenders to be able to respond quickly and appropriately to an emergency, be it an air compressor failure, a vessel problem, or an urgent medical situation.
Through a dramatized orientation of a new tender and interviews with divers who have survived mishaps, this film provides viewers with an overview of a tender's role in safe dive operations.
