Combining practice and theory, the Rescue Diver course will provide you with the necessary knowledge and techniques to successfully deal with an emergency, prevent an emergency, and evaluate and deal with stress in divers (yourself and/or others. The main components of the course include:
Prerequisites: Adventure Diver/Junior Adventure Diver (or qualifying certification) with completed Underwater Navigation Dive; EFR Primary and Secondary Care training (or qualifying training) within 24 months (if you don’t have this I can provide this course in conjunction with the Rescue Diver Course)
Total time commitment: ~2 days plus time to complete the E-Learning
Minimum age: 12 years or older
Depth: shallow – most exercises are conducted at or near the surface
Additional items necessary: You will need to purchase or rent mask, fins, booties, and snorkel. I can assist you with finding quality gear locally at a reasonable price (I HIGHLY recommend against purchasing cheap snorkel packages online as they are normally not suitable for scuba diving).
