Divestment and rebound in technical diving
Site adminThursday, 24 October 202489 views
The concept of the rebound point in technical diving and how it is calculated accurately to ensure a safe return.
The rebound point is a life-saving decision in technical and cave diving.
What is the bounce point
The point at which the return must begin before the air runs out. It is calculated by dividing the air into thirds: one third for going, one third for returning, and one third for emergencies.
Why a third not a half
Going back is always harder than going. Fatigue and emergencies consume more air than you expect.
A diver who calculates his rebound point accurately is not surprised by running out of air.
