Once you and the victim are at the surface, the next priorities are to call for help, administer in-water artificial respiration if necessary, and transport the victim to the boat or shore. To transport an unconscious diver:

1. Establish buoyancy for yourself by ditching your weight belt. Inflate both your own BCD and the victim's.
2. Signal and call for help.
3. Begin towing the victim using the do-si-do tow.
4. Remove the victim's mask, and pull your own down around your neck.
5. Check for breathing and provide artificial respiration if necessary.
6. Continue calling for help.
7. As you tow the victim, remove both the victim's and your own BCD. This will make the tow easier.
8. Continue calling for help and providing artificial respiration.

Your instructor will demonstrate this process in more detail during your confined water sessions.
