Rescue Diver

Service Description

The Rescue Diver course is widely considered the most challenging, rewarding, and confidence-building course in recreational scuba — and for good reason. This is where divers stop thinking only about themselves and start thinking like true teammates. You’ll learn to prevent problems before they happen, recognize stress in yourself and others, and respond decisively when things don’t go as planned — both underwater and at the surface. By the end of this course, you won’t just be a better diver… you’ll be a calmer, sharper, more reliable dive partner in any environment. This course focuses on real-world scenarios, not check-the-box skills. • Advanced self-rescue techniques • Recognizing diver stress before it becomes an emergency • Assisting panicked or unresponsive divers • Managing surface and underwater rescue scenarios • Organizing and executing effective rescue responses • Building confidence, leadership, and situational awareness This is hands-on, scenario-based training designed to push your limits in a controlled, supportive environment. Prerequisites: To enroll in the Rescue Diver course, you must: • Be a certified Advanced Open Water Diver (or equivalent) • Complete the online self-paced eLearning prior to in-water sessions • Provide a completed medical questionnaire and liability waiver before your first dive.
