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:
“The personal touch between the people and the man to whom they temporarily delegated power of course conduces to a better understanding between them. Moreover, I ought not to omit to mention as a useful result of my journeying that I am to visit a great many expositions and fairs, and that the curiosity to see the President will certainly increase the box receipts and tend to rescue many commendable enterprises from financial disaster.”
—William Howard Taft (1857–1930)
