Absolutely not. Just as cave-divers are taught that it’s okay to call any dive at any time for any reason, or no reason at all, the volunteer members of the IUCRR also retain that same right. Most cave-divers will agree that the best time to call a dive is before the dive even starts. Despite their training and commitment, the IUCRR diver is the only person who knows whether they are or are not ready to perform a recovery dive. Recovering a victim from an underwater cave is extremely difficult and stressful, and the recovery diver must — before they even start — be sure they can comfortably perform the task. No one can be compelled to do a recovery dive. It is an IUCRR fundamental principle that no diver should ever risk his/her life to recover a victim. As important as it is to recover a victim’s body, it’s not worth the life of another diver.
