I have question about dealing with a rescue situation....the scenario is a 16 year old diver who was approaching a tank pressure that the pre-dive brief indicated they should start heading towards the surface but instead refused to ascend and instead continued to hug the bottom. The person responsible for this diver insisted on the two heading towards the surface with the 16yo resisting. In order to gain control of the situation and get the 16yo diver to stop resisting the 16yo's mask was flooded....this seemed to work well in getting the 16yo to stop resisting and for the person taking them to the surface to do so at a controlled ascent rate and able to conduct a proper safety stop at 5 meters. While uncomfortable for the 16yo it helped the other diver control the situation...does anyone else have any experience using this technique or can anyone comment on it based on the info presented?
Thanks,
