Why does she press the inflator-button? If she has no more air left, it won't work...

[cyberok]

@noobhunter3000 shes pressing the deflator button,not the inflator.

... damn that's a nice looking pool. 

[shadowacadamy]

scenes (part 2):

0:53-1:03 breathes in & out

1:04 alright now

1:08-1:50 goes to surface

[shadowacadamy]

scenes:

0:00-0:29 relaxing

0:30 problem

0:31-0:47 distressing

0:50 gets spare regulator

My guess here is that this is an instructor course. The instructor isn't likely to expect day 1 open water students to 'rescue' her given she is just a couple of metres down in a pool (where all basic training commences regardless of your level).

what is the deep 10 menters ?

[ryfitz75]

@geovermont Exactly....

[PSDIVERTOM]

The situation was handled well and yes it looks "staged" not in the tec deco  way...LOL

@Sargethepyromaniac - Apologies, I used 'CESA' as it appears in the PADI syllabus incorrectly. This is a controlled alternative air source ascent (CAASA). It was late night comment and I used emergency in the vernacular! If a rescuer is ever involved they should have enough air for giving alternate air source to a buddy, and enough to inflate their own jacket to assist the victim during oral inflation whilst constantly deflating both BCDs to stop runaway ascent.

[Sargethepyromaniac]

@chrisah1 Isn't a CESA ascending whilst breathing out incase of catastrophic equipment failure or an out of air situation?

[chrisah1]

@noobhunter3000 BCD may not be completely empty, if at 30m even a small bit of air would expand on ascent. Hence the simulated CESA. I am surprised the student does not seem to use deflator (or quick dump) until almost too late, rather simulating a small tap of inflator. The student could have assisted with the oral inflation by inflating their own BCD immediately at the surface, and pivoting on the instructor's arm and providing bouyancy from a stable position behind.

[geovermont]

Oh please. The "victim" is the instructor. She was never out of air or panicked. She is training the students to share air and ascend while buddy breathing--an open water class skill.
