About the course
Rescue Diver teaches you self-rescue skills, how to recognise and help a stressed diver, and how to manage diving emergencies from rescue breaths to lift techniques. It runs over 3–4 days, combines theory, skill practice, and scenario-based exercises, and prepares you for Divemaster training. An EFR (First Aid & CPR) certification is a prerequisite - we run it alongside.
