Safety Qualifications:
All Safety Freedivers are certified as a minimum to the level of AIDA Competition Safety Freediver. We will use as many of the safety team from last year as possible to ensure we have as many experienced safety divers as possible. All Safety Freedivers train together with Bristol Freedivers club and regularly complete practice rescue sessions and refreshers. The team have 1st Aid qualifications ranging from EFR and EFRI to Intermediate Life Support. All Safety Freedivers have experience of Pool Competitions either as Safety Freedivers or competitors.
Safety plan:
A fully qualified Paramedic will be present throughout the competition with full kit, equipment and emergency response vehicle. The Paramedic will be supported by an assistant fully trained in first aid, O2 administration and AED. In an emergency, Southmead Hospital Emergency Department is 500m away and the Bristol Royal Infirmary is 2.8 miles away.
