Rescue Diver
The Rescue Diver course is frequently described as the most challenging and rewarding class taken by many divers.
The best way to rescue someone (or yourself) is to avoid potentially dangerous situations. This course expands on your existing dive skills and helps you learn to avoid problems occurring, how to stop them escalating and how to manage them if they do.
What You'll Learn
With a combination of class or advanced eLearning, pool and open water exercises you'll cover topics such as:
- Self Rescue
- Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
- Emergency management and equipment requirements
- Rescuing panicked divers
- Rescuing unresponsive divers
- Emergency First Response, CPR even use of AEDs (defibrillators) and Oxygen Administration
