Rescue Diver

So far during your dive training the courses that you have participated in have mostly been about your personal diving and personal skill improvement. During the rescue diver course you will learn many new skills; these skills will be able to be used by you as an individual diver to improve your watermanship. With these new skills, you will also be able to assist with problems your dive buddies and or other divers around you may experience. You will learn to help prevent and if needed, manage dive emergencies both minor and major with a variety of procedures. The Rescue Course will refine your skill and confidence as a diver. The course focuses on the potential problems that divers may face, tired and panicked divers all the way through to unconscious divers underwater and on the surface.
