If the dive is a rescue dive, the number one rule is you never put your own life at risk, one death is enough, don't add to it.


Are you suggesting your life is worth a certain sum of money, that for a sum of money over a certain threshold you would risk your life for that sum? How do you think your family would feel about that?

If you take on the job of standby diver then you take on the risk, if the diver in the water is in trouble you’re going to go to help and you expect them to do the same for you. Unfortunately the value of life is very different for some people in different parts of the world. Would you consider children diving for coins in a dirty river a justifiable risk.

While in the event that the safety diver has to go in the risk is high, the expectation is that this is not necessary almost all the time so the average risk per day is acceptable.

Nice example though. A bit like having a 50/80 plan but a 100/100 bailout plan.

Have done the safety diver role for deep wreck diving, and the number one thing that is not wanted, is another casualty in the water on top of the first one. By all means get in the water, but strictly follow the agreed protocol for the safety diver, and no more. There is no room for error, and your family will thank you for coming home.

We had a simple system, more than 4 pulls followed by 2 bells the diver was foul and the stand by went to help.
