Re: FreeDiver's Recovery Vest (FRV)

Re: FreeDiver's Recovery Vest (FRV)

Joe.A, both divers were weighted properly so they floated up to and on the surface. That part was not luck. That they were face up and on their backs - that was luck.

I think the diver I referenced was darned lucky his PFD performed successfully in an environment for which it was not designed.

Re: FreeDiver's Recovery Vest (FRV)

If you are under for an extended period of time you are likely to require resuscitative measures. If you blackout with the FRV you should be taken to the surface rather quickly. You are referring...
