  • Cave Dives Are Rarely Rescue Missions on Random Worlds Of Rescue And Recovery Divers, Who Experience Real Terrors Everyday

    (#6) Cave Dives Are Rarely Rescue Missions

    Caves propose many unique challenges for rescue and recovery divers and are some of the most hazardous diving environments. Floods and tight spaces can make cave systems extremely difficult to navigate, even for the most experienced divers; therefore, there are many more recoveries in caves than rescues.

    Rescues are still possible in cave systems though. One successful effort was the rescue of 12 boys and their soccer coach in Thailand in June 2018. Part of the large international team that rescued the boys had just survived their own harrowing cave diving experience in Mexico, where they were stranded for roughly three days without food or adequate supplies after a flash flood. 

  • The Equipment Used By Recovery Divers Has Come A Long Way on Random Worlds Of Rescue And Recovery Divers, Who Experience Real Terrors Everyday

    (#12) The Equipment Used By Recovery Divers Has Come A Long Way

    When Irish police office Tosh Lavery first started working as a recovery diver in 1974, equipment included a substandard wetsuit, no light, and a rope to help divers find their way back to land. In the United States in the late 1980s, divers used a rope to communicate with the surface via a series of tugs.

    Over time, there have been many improvements to the tools divers are given. Depending on the location, divers use higher-quality suits, full face masks, and in some cases, hazmat-certified dive suits to protect them from the elements.

  • Environmental Hazards And Equipment Malfunctions Make The Job Dangerous on Random Worlds Of Rescue And Recovery Divers, Who Experience Real Terrors Everyday

    (#1) Environmental Hazards And Equipment Malfunctions Make The Job Dangerous

    Although lakes and slow-moving rivers may seem like relatively safe places to dive, rescue and recovery divers still face many dangers on the job. Masks can be accidentally pulled off in frigid water, equipment can malfunction, frantic divers can grab respirators, and unseen obstacles, such as concrete, rebar, and submerged trees, all pose a serious threat to the safety of recovery divers.

    The danger that comes along with the job, however, can also bring dive teams closer together. In a 2016 video, the Texas Parks and Wildlife dive team stated they would do anything for each other, and they always have each other's backs both in the water and on land.

  • Occasionally, Luck Comes Into Play While Diving on Random Worlds Of Rescue And Recovery Divers, Who Experience Real Terrors Everyday

    (#3) Occasionally, Luck Comes Into Play While Diving

    The majority of missing cave divers don't make it back to the surface alive. But there have been a handful of cases in recent years where the skills of rescue and recovery divers, paired with advances in diving technology, have saved lives.

    In a story shared with The Guardian in 2018, Florida dive instructor Edd Sorenson spoke about how he managed to save a teenage girl who had gone cave diving with her brother and father. Her father didn't realize the kicking motions used in open water cause clouds of vision-reducing silt in caves. The family quickly became overwhelmed, and the father and son retreated to open water and called in a rescue team for the daughter, who remained trapped in the cave. Sorenson recalled: 

    Inside, I began a zigzag search pattern; after about 10 minutes, I ran into her legs. She was treading water inside a dome with an air pocket created from divers’ bubbles. She had tried to get out a couple of times, but nearly got snagged on jagged rocks and turned back. She was lucky to have found the dome once, let alone twice. She was very cold, scared, and crying.

    Sorenson led her to safety at the mouth of the cave, where she was reunited with her family.

    (#7) Many Divers Appreciate Being Able To Bring Families The Remains Of Their Loved Ones

    American recovery diver Jamie Florek once said:

    The outcomes involved with the dive team tend not to be good for the [people lost] or families. But whether we find someone or not, I think it’s nice to know. I would want to know.

    That sentiment has been echoed by many other rescue and recovery divers around the world; they may face grim tasks in their daily work, but many do see the silver lining. They take pride in being able to give families a sense of closure. Divers are able to see the effect on the loved ones of those lost firsthand, and how much it matters to have remains returned. As Irish police diver Tosh Lavery put it: 

    I loved my job, I loved the machismo of it, but mostly I loved being able to present a grieving family with a [person] to bury... That was what mattered to me most.

  • Technology Helps In Near-Zero Visibility Conditions on Random Worlds Of Rescue And Recovery Divers, Who Experience Real Terrors Everyday

    (#8) Technology Helps In Near-Zero Visibility Conditions

    Unlike recreational diving, where the primary goal is usually to enjoy the sights of fish and coral reefs, recovery diving is generally done in conditions where divers can barely see what's in front of their faces. Visibility in lakes and rivers is typically poor, with low light and heavy sediment. It's known as zero-visibility, or "black water."

    Divers also have the additional challenge of looking for remains or discarded items in thick underwater foliage as they comb the lake or river bed. Luckily, advances in technology have made their job slightly more manageable. Recovery divers in Texas use underwater sonar imaging to assist with searches, cutting the dive time significantly.
