Master the Waves with the PADI Rescue Diver Test 2025 – Dive into Success!

Deploying a buoy and noting the GPS coordinates is the recommended method for marking the location of a diving incident. This approach provides a clear and effective way to identify and communicate the specific site of the incident. Using a buoy serves as a visual marker that can be easily seen from the surface and can help guide rescue teams to the exact location. Additionally, recording GPS coordinates ensures that there is precise data about the site, which is essential for emergency services or other divers who may need to respond to the incident. This method allows for a reliable and efficient way to return to the site, especially in situations where underwater visibility may be poor or when the current can shift the position of a buoy.

The other methods, while possibly helpful in some aspects, do not provide the same level of precision and reliability as deploying a buoy and noting GPS coordinates. Swimming in circles is not effective as it does not create a reference point for others. Relying on another diver’s memory could lead to inaccuracies, especially in the stress of an emergency. Taking photographs may provide some context but lacks the immediate functionality of a physical buoy and coordinates for navigating back to the site.
