Re: Distinction between BOed and "normally" drown person

Hi Ben.
In the army we learned to always and only, blow through the nose, and with the head tilted backwards.. Tilting the head opens the airways just like you said. But the problem is doing this properly while in the water as you also mention.
Often the thoath can become blocked by the victims tongue, or the thoath is sealed. theese things are common with BOŽed people. and hence blowing through the nose will be far more effective. I have been on 3 first aid courses. And each and every time we learned mouth to nose.
About BO or samba in a pool, i guess it is VERY important to allow one self plenty of recovery time, and only do dynamic dives that are very short and only designed to train technique rather than indurence.
