    Default I have received DPV training and was taught this method of OOA exit

    If you received training in the use of a DPV by an instructor,please indicate the method you were taught in the course.

    Not to bias the responses there is another ongoing thread on this subject that responses are solicited. There are other alternate methods of air share exit,but interested in knowing the instruction on these two. All responses kept anonymous. Thank you

    I was taught the Master Chief John Garlick method;

    Drown your friend
    'fore he drowns you

    Works with any number of scooters, and in almost every emergency situation.

    Ha! Yeah, heard something similar in my full cave course and cave rescue course.
