Lesson three: Helping a Tired Buddy

Course Complete

Skills Overview

Sometimes divers find they can’t swim to the boat or shore, because they have become too tired or have some other problem. Severe leg cramps may make swimming difficult as well. Tired diver tows at the surface allow you to help.

Helping a Tired Buddy
  • Begin by establishing buoyancy for yourself and the diver you’re helping.

  • Use the cylinder valve tow, with you and the diver floating face up, for short distances.
  • Use the tired diver push (modified tired-swimmer carry) for longer tows. For both, swim at a slow, steady pace to the exit.
