Japan Coast Guard Training: Holding Breath for 2 Minutes and 30 Seconds - https://lnkd.in/gwEtXsZN TOKYO, Jul 06 (News On Japan) - Over ten individuals sit still in a pool, extending their arms and legs forward, holding their breath. Dressed in wetsuits, they all keep their eyes open. This scene is from the diving training course at the Japan Coast Guard Academy, where trainees selected from across the country undergo rigorous training to become rescue divers. Rescue divers are responsible for lifesaving during maritime accidents. To become a rescue diver, one must endure two months of intense training. Breath-holding drills, essential training conducted at the start of each day, prepare divers for unexpected situations where they might be unable to use their oxygen tanks. During this training, participants hold their breath for as long as two and a half minutes. The reason for keeping their eyes open during the drill is to ensure they haven't fainted. These trainees undergo severe training daily to protect lives, striving to overcome the rigorous challenges and become esteemed rescue divers. Source: FNN https://lnkd.in/ge8CVKqT Source

Why settle with what I know? I am a curious person, always looking for ways to go deeper in my knowledge and expand myself. The world has a new Rescue Diver! “Stop Think and Act”, something I learned during the CPR/AED/First Aid portion of my certification, is a concept that applies in so many areas (if not all) in our lives, included in Kung Fu! The more I learn in general, the more I understand how all knowledge overlaps with all that we are and all that we do. In whatever tou do, keep training fellas! #scuba #scubadiving #hardwork #kungfu #shaolin #padi #rescuediver #masterdiver #stopthinkandact #cpr #firstaid

LESSON REGARDING MAKING MISTAKES When I was a student at Submarine School at New London, Connecticut. The experience included at sea training to become a Diving Officer. When submerged at night for example, when almost all aboard are counting sheep in their bunks, the Diving Officer has his own life and that of everyone else in his hands, so to speak. Making mistakes during training is inevitable. After making a mistake, an instructor will attempt to create more opportunities for one to make more mistakes, in effect creating a chain reaction of mistakes as a stress test to observe one's reactions. The instructor may turnoff switches controlling various systems to observe reactions taken to remedy the casualty. Losing one's cool is a recipe for disaster. A good rule is as follows: IF ALL AROUND YOU BECOME OVER EXCITED ABOUT SOMETHING, AND IN EFFECT, START LOOSING THEIR MINDS BECAUSE OF A SITUATION, AND YOU REMAIN UNFAZED AND CALM, THEN CLEARLY YOU DON'T UNDERSTAND THE SITUATION.

Incident investigation in diving involves a systematic process to analyze and understand accidents or near-misses that occur during diving activities. The goal is to identify the causes and contributing factors to prevent future incidents and improve safety practices. Key steps in the investigation typically include: Data Collection: Gathering all relevant information, including dive logs, equipment used, environmental conditions, and witness statements. Scene Assessment: Examining the dive site and conditions to understand the context of the incident. Analysis: Evaluating the information to identify root causes, which can include human error, equipment failure, environmental factors, or procedural shortcomings. Recommendations: Developing actionable strategies to mitigate identified risks, which may involve changes in training, procedures, or equipment. Reporting: Compiling findings into a report to communicate results and recommendations to relevant parties, such as dive operators, instructors, and regulatory bodies. Overall, the aim is to enhance safety and prevent future incidents through a thorough understanding of what went wrong. #TheHumanDiver #Diving #JustCulture #HumanFactors #NonTechnicalSkills
