Given recent events it has given me some cause for thought.
I have met up with a few of you, in groups and also singularly and in that time only one person has actually given me written emergency contact details in case they are required; at the time I kind of just pointed to my mobile and commented, "phones unlocked, Wifes details are in the phone book and the car is unlocked.."
I won't mention who it was, but I am sure he knows who he is and good on him for considering possible eventualities.
I am sure there is a list of things we should all consider and make available when we are diving with friends we have met through YD, we all pray we will not have to make use of them, but prior planning can make things a bit easier.
So anyone else got ideas and suggestions of information that should be given to a buddy prior to a dive?
So far we have emergency contact information and I guess basic medical info would be useful including blood group and any medicine related allergies. Maybe combine it with some other useful medical info in bold such as NO ENTENOX. warnings etc?
God forbid it ever happens, but it could be passed on with the casualty to the medical staff.
