After your dive, remember to give your body time to recover before flying or heading to altitude — at least 12 hours for a single dive and 18 hours if you’ve made more than one.

Now’s the time to get into dive mode. Stay hydrated, grab a light snack, and steer clear of alcohol before diving. Check that your gear fits comfortably, your mask is clear, and your fins feel right. A quick stretch or a few deep breaths can help you relax and tune in to the rhythm of the ocean.

Assisting a distressed diver underwater is a vital skill in scuba diving, especially for those training in rescue techniques. With its limited communication options and unique challenges, the underwater environment intensifies the need for a calm and controlled approach.
If you need to ascend, do so safely and controlled. This is especially important if the diver is out of air. Ascend slowly, maintaining a close hold on the diver, and keep an eye on your depth gauge and decompression limits. Safety stops are crucial. Once you reach the surface, your support isn't over. Help the diver remove their weight belt or inflate their BCD to establish positive buoyancy. Continue talking to them calmly and offering reassurance.

If the diver is still panicked as you draw near, you might need to use the ‘push away’ method. This involves extending a fin or another object towards them, which they can grab onto. This keeps them at arm's length, protecting you both. Once the diver starts to calm down, you can approach more closely. Offer them something to hold onto, like a buoyancy aid or a spare fin. This helps them feel more secure and in control.
Dealing with a panicked diver at the surface requires patience, calmness, and quick thinking. Your ability to remain composed and act confidently can make the difference between a successful rescue and a dangerous situation. Always prioritise your safety; remember, practice makes perfect in developing these lifesaving skills.

First up, approach the situation with utmost caution. A panicked diver might not be thinking clearly and could act irrationally. Your approach should be calm and reassuring. It’s important to avoid direct eye contact initially, as a panicked diver can sometimes perceive this as a threat.
Now, it's time to assist them back to safety. If they can swim with assistance, guide them slowly back to the boat or shore.
