What it means to be a rescue diver

Rescue Divers are a strong asset in any dive situation. They are equipped with the knowledge, skills and confidence to help themselves, and others, to ensure a successful dive. This course will teach you the skills of self-rescue, diver rescue, emergency situation management and accident prevention. It’s really not enough to be able to solve problems in diving. Knowing how to prevent problems from happening is what helps make a really good diver and a safer diving experience. For this reason, the Rescue Diver certification is one of the most valued diving certifications you can earn.

;How your rescue diver course works

Your course uses all the skills you’ve learned so far and integrates Emergency First Response with diving. Ergo, we hold an EFR class the same week as your Rescue Diver course. This allows you to meet the prerequisite for the course and keep those much-needed skills fresh.

The Emergency First Response course takes place on Tuesday night, if you need to take that course. Wednesday evening you will begin your Rescue Diver course in the classroom. Then, you will spend the weekend at the lake learning practical skills and working your tail off.

To sign up for this course, you will need to come by the store to fill out some paperwork and pick up your books. While you are here, we can talk about your equipment needs and make sure you have everything you need to successfully attain your certification.
