Three-Diver Rotation

摘要

The rotation in which you deploy your public safety divers whether in training or on operational calls should always reflect on the side of safety lor the diver by using a three-diver rotation. All three divers shall be tethered with communications rope from a designated tender. There should be a primary diver doing the initial search; a backup diver (safety diver) completely dressed and in the water, positioned next to the primary tender; and a 90 percent diver who is fully dressed excluding mask and fins, positioned close by the dive operation. This three-diver concept will increase your safety and allow for a quick response to a diver emergency. This is primarily for the protection of divers as well as the efficient process of making a thorough and safe operation.
