Rescue Diver
The Rescue Diver course is one of the most challenging dive courses but is an excellent way to improve your confidence in the water and become a safer, more self-sufficient diver. One of the main aims of the Rescue Diver qualification is to teach divers how to perform self-rescue and be able to calmly act and assist when another diver is in trouble.
The course develops your knowledge of rescue practices both in and out of the water, teaching you how to effectively perform and assist in different emergency dive situations. Learn to manage dive accidents, properly fill in required paperwork after a diving incident, and put to use the CPR and first aid skills you learned during your Emergency First Response course.
The Rescue Diver course is incredibly rewarding and you will walk away feeling properly equipped to handle real life emergency dive scenarios. Despite its challenging nature, most divers who have completed the qualification say it’s the best course they’ve ever done.
A current First Aid and CPR certification is required prior to the Rescue Diver course. If you don’t have this training, we can run the 1-day Emergency First Response class in conjunction with your Rescue Diver course.

We keep our classes small in order to provide a more personalized learning experience. This allows flexibility throughout the course to adapt it to each student’s specific needs and learning style. On average our Rescue course has 2 to 3 students.
We offer the Rescue course with both SSI and PADI.
With either federation, once Rescue certified you are able to continue onto specialty/higher level courses with any other diving federation.
