Rescue Diver Course

Rescue Diver Course

Are you ready to take the next step in making a difference in the life of another human being? If so, then the Rescue Diver Course is for you. It is by far the most rewarding and challenging diving course you will ever take. This is because you are learning and mastering the proper techniques of how to save lives, both in and out of the water. The Rescue Diver learns how to prevent emergencies before they happen, by being cognizant of their surroundings. The Rescue Diver also learns how to recognize, manage and perform the necessary steps to save lives in the event that an emergency does happen.

The Rescue Diver Course consists of two parts:

  1. Knowledge Development & Tests: The Rescue Diver Course teaches the necessary principles and skills for Rescue Diving using Independent Study, Knowledge Reviews and Exams.
  2. Rescue Exercises (Open Water): Consists of a Self Rescue Review, 10 Open Water Exercises and 2 Rescue Scenarios over the course of 2 individual days. (Note: These 2 days can be consecutive days, or over the course of a few weeks depending on scheduling and/or diving conditions).

Basic Requirements

  • Open Water Diver Certification (a qualifying certification from such internationally recognised organizaions such as SSI, NAUI, etc.).
  • Minimum age: 15 years of age, (12 years of age for Junior Advanced Open Water Diver).
