Controlled Buoyant LiftThe controlled buoyant lift is an underwater rescue technique used by scuba divers to safely raise an unconscious diver to the surface from depth. The standard PADI-trained technique is for the rescuer to approach the face-down unconscious diver (victim) from above and kneel with one knee either side of their tank. Then, with the victim's regulator held in place, the tank is gripped firmly between the knees and the rescuer's buoyancy compensator is used to control a slow ascent to the surface.
