Commercial Diving Emergency Rescue Drill

Practicing standby jumps for commercial diving emergencies/rescue of divers. The minimum goal is to follow their airline (umbilical) and open the free flow on their helmet within two minutes. All while untangling any umbilical snags.

where did you do complete your commercial diving course ?

[@crossingtheglobe3122]

I went to the Canadian Working Divers Institute which I highly recommend if you are looking for the best hands on, real life training out there. You will come out of it as dialed in as you can be fresh from school. No swimming pools or taped helmets to simulate low visibility up there.
It is also cheaper than the US if you have the money but there aren't any student loans I know of that go internationally.
If that is not a possibility, the only dive school in the US I would recommend is the Divers Institute of Technology in Washington. They have gained a decent reputation in the last decade. But it will be more expensive.

@@harrisonalmeida6327 For CWDI it's 25,000 Canadian dollars which is about 20k US right now. But that changes based on the exchange rate.
US schools have student loans you can get but most schools are around 50k and twice that in the long run after paying all of the interest.
