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:
“Hygiene is the corruption of medicine by morality. It is impossible to find a hygienest who does not debase his theory of the healthful with a theory of the virtuous.... The true aim of medicine is not to make men virtuous; it is to safeguard and rescue them from the consequences of their vices.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
