Diver rescue, following an accident, is the process of avoiding or limiting further exposure to diving hazards and bringing a diver to safety. A safe place is often a place where the diver cannot drown, such as a boat or dry land, from which professional medical treatment can be sought. In the context of surface supplied diving, the place of safety for a diver with a decompression obligation is often the diving bell.

Famous quotes containing the word rescue:
“In the event of an oxygen shortage on airplanes, mothers of young children are always reminded to put on their own oxygen mask first, to better assist the children with theirs. The same tactic is necessary on terra firma. There’s no way of sustaining our children if we don’t first rescue ourselves. I don’t call that selfish behavior. I call it love.”
—Joyce Maynard (20th century)
