I just got my monthly email from NDPA – United, we can prevent the tragedy of drowning!.
This one got me to thinking about my previous training with a public safety diving organization: World leader in Rescue Diving Courses
I realize that in ‘Basic Scuba Discussions’ the agencies tend to sideline the reality that anything bad can happen. I’m not an alarmist. All I want to share (to those new to diving) is the ability to identify what a real drowning looks like. You never know if random chance will make you the one person who could provide assistance.
“You may think you know what drowning looks like. But in reality someone could drown just feet away from you without you noticing.
Drowning is quiet and fast, with subtle signs that are easily missed, particularly if in a crowded space or unfamiliar and challenging conditions.”
This is a bit more harsh:
Drowning: A peaceful way to go?
