The Rescue Diver Course

This course will expand your knowledge and experience level : Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves and consider the safety and well being of other divers. Although this course is serious, it is an enjoyable way to build your confidence.
Course philosophy
The Rescue Diver course philosophy is based upon the fact that there are several possibilities to achieve a goal. The structure of the course reflects this with a situational curriculum i.e. size and strength of the rescuer in comparison to the victim and environmental conditions will affect the preferred rescue technique.During your training you will be encouraged to try several options to learn how to make best use of your personal strengths and to discover your own limits.
