The Rescue Diver course will develop your knowledge and skills to effectively perform a rescue, as well as assist and administer first aid. After course completion, you will be trained to rescue your buddy from danger or recognise their stress signals so you can act accordingly. Importantly, the Rescue Diver course is the final step to becoming a Divemaster or professional diving instructor. Although the Rescue Diver course is a demanding one, it will most likely be the most rewarding diving course you do. Indeed, most divers say the Rescue Diver course has been their favourite.

Our Rescue Diver course is conducted over two days. Importantly, we will cover all the rescue skills you need, such as self-rescue and locating a missing or unconscious diver. Further, the course also covers how to bring an unconscious diver to the surface and ultimately, to safety.

On the first day, we will visit the local pool. Here, we will revisit the surface skills you learnt as part of your Open Water Course. These include: tired diver and cramp removal. Additionally, we will practice the skills needed to keep yourself safe from diving.  Next, we practice the techniques required to rescue a stressed or panicked diver. The first day includes a repertoire of skills and techniques that build the foundation for your second day in the open water.

The second day is done in the open water. Here, we will practice mock rescue scenarios. You and your team will utilise the skills learnt at the pool to save a distressed or unconscious diver.
