WATER Session
Our water session will revise practical skills that we have discussed in our dry session. This may include but is not limited to: retrieving an unconscious diver from the water onto a Boat or elevated surface, SMB deployment, aiding and approaching distressed/panicked divers, tows and first aid/emergency procedures.
These sessions are intended to be a revision for Dive Latrobe members to ensure familiarity and consistency of procedures and expectations between divers and help us to dive safely together.
These sessions are not a replacement for a rescue course and will not qualify anyone as competent in these skills.
