OT question: do the pros like you have some kind of rope or something between the divers to prevent to loose the group in poor visibility? When I have been in such murky water (2 meters max vis) half of the group surfaced whereever because they have lost sight on the rest of us. |
Yes, all the divers, that are searching for something were tethered by two ropes, one to hold them and the other for communication. On recreation dives, I did not require the divers to be tethered.
We had an excellent record, we recovered everything we were sent after, even in dangerous waters. Then the OPP (Ontario Provincial Police) organized their own search and rescue units, so we disbanded our unit and become recreational divers unless we were called.
