Rescue Diver

You’re in the middle of your dive, when, all of a sudden, you turn around and realize that your buddy has disappeared.

​

ARE YOU READY?

​

Most scuba divers will encounter a problem at some point in their diving. The Rescue Diver course will expand your situational awareness and teach you how to handle a situation when things go wrong on the surface or underwater. It will give you the knowledge and skill to plan your dives with a greater safety margin, because knowing how to prevent and control problems will help them prevent or control these obstacles along the way.

​

$500 + HST

​

All students will need to have current first aid certification to begin the course. Discounts are available if the Rescue Diver course is taken in conjunction with the Emergency First Responder certification and Emergency Oxygen Provider specialty.
