Uncontrolled Ascent Emergency [Video]
An uncontrolled ascent can be a serious issue while scuba diving. In a recent incident, a diver was seen acting strangely underwater. On investigation, his buddy found that his weight belt had fallen off, causing him to ascend rapidly. Fortunately, the buddy was able to prevent potential decompression sickness and used a DSMB to signal his position. Learning how to perform a Controlled Emergency Swimming Ascent (CESA) can help avoid such emergencies.
