Quiz - Rescue Diver - List Three Things to Consider Before Attempting Inwater Rescue

[Pedro Burrito]

I modified this question to put it into a multiple choice.

From the PADI Rescue Diver Knowledge Review, Chapter One, Question 2:


List three things to consider before attempting an inwater rescue.

a. Will Elon Musk tweet about me?
b. Can you reasonably expect to accomplish the rescue without getting into trouble yourself?
c. Will I be on every talk show for my 15 minutes of fame?
d. Do you have the equipment and training necessary for your safety and the victim's safety?
e. Do you need to enter the water at all?
f. How fast can I swim?
g. b, d and e
h. a, c and f
i. a, b and c
j. c, e and f​

I will post a daily question from my exams to help newer divers and to encourage more experienced divers to interact gracefully and helpfully with the newer divers.

Reminder - this is a post in the Basic Forum and it is a green zone. Please be nice and on topic.

Thank you for your patience while we try to give people something to discuss other than Covid-19 and/or Politics. I will post the answer covered by the spoiler tag later today.

I thought PADI's manuals were older than the 10 commandments, let alone Elon Musk....
Learning something new every day...

Full marks Pedro, outstanding

How should the likelihood of Elon Musk calling you a pedophile after a successful rescue affect your willingness to attempt the rescue?

In some circles, Elon basically is the original author of the 10 commandments

From my lifeguard instructor days - reach, throw, row, go

Nice, that's right up there with the classic instructions for OW, AOW, and Rescue:

OW - don 't hold your breath, don't go to deep, don't stay too long, have a good time.
AOW - cool things to do while you are not holding your breath.
Rescue - what to do if someone holds their breath.​

A. Is an obvious concern...

I love it. Only one possible answer! I like those 2 votes for h.

I answered a. PADI updated their manuals. I'm disappointed with how many of my fellow divers answered incorrectly.
