Rescue Diver Course

Be the Ultimate Dive Buddy: Beginning diver courses generally limit emergency skill training to self rescue and tired diver assists. Why?

• Beginning students lack sufficient knowledge, skill and experience to truly master complex rescue skills.

• There is simply not enough time in most beginning scuba courses to cover all the rescue and emergency management skills that every diver should have.

• This is why the Rescue Diver course provides important follow-on training. It covers:

  • Self-rescue and diver stress.
  • Dive first aid.
  • Swimming and non-swimming rescue techniques.
  • Emergency management and equipment.
  • Panicked diver response.
  • Underwater problem solving.
  • Missing diver procedures.
  • Surfacing the unconscious diver.
  • In-water rescue breathing protocols.
  • Egress (exits).
  • First aid procedures for pressure related accidents.
  • Dive accident scenarios.

• The Rescue Diver course also helps you meet important prerequisites for Master Diver, Divemaster and other leadership-level courses.
