Re: Safety Freedivers bringing up the BO victims

Interesting facts you state, it does make sense to close someones airways as to not have them take in any water, but isnt a BO victims airways constricted to the point of closure anyway, hence the having to blow on face or gently tap to reinstate normal breathing and having the victim wake up. I have heard that it is almost impossible to start cpr immediately on a BO victim because of this.
