Safety Plan - The medical coverage of the event will be in cooperation with the Emergency Dept of the Kalamata General Hospital and the Hellenic Rescue Team which will provide ambulance and medical staff for immediate patient transfer to the hospital in case of a problem. The Hellenic Rescue Team marine EMTs specialists will be on location at the dive site to provide initial medical support in case of emergency. The event boats will be staffed rescuers / lifeguards with knowledge of diving medicine and extensive experience in free diving. In addition to the Kalamata General Hospital, we are in contact with the Hyperbaric Chamber of the Athens Navy Hospital in case of a problem requiring hyperbaric treatment. Safety Equipment The competition is run using 3 boats of 6-8m each with a total allowance for passengers of 28 people. All boats will have the statutory safety equipment and First Aid equipment to act as emergency craft (oxygen delivery devices and fully stocked first-aid kits). In the event of an incident during the dive, it is possible to lift the diver to the surface by lifting the entire diving rope. The progress of each dive is controlled by a sonar system that exist on the boat as well as safety freedivers in the water, which give the diver real time information. Emergency procedure In the event of an accident, the victim will be transported back to shore using the evacuation ribs with a rescuer of the safety team performing First Aid and will be transferred to the Kalamata Marina (6min boat trip) where an ambulance will be waiting with medical staff to get transported to the GH Kalamata. Oxygen and first aid to the victim will be provided during the transfer.
