RELEASE THE WEIGHT BELT??
I notice in several of the rescue images above & in links, the victim & rescuer are both still wearing their weight belts...seems like it would make things a lot easier if the victims weight belt were released or both belts were released. [I mention this because a friend described a recent scuba double fatality where one diver died attempting to rescue his partner. Failure to release either or both weight belts was a factor/anomaly].
