WHAT WILL I DO?
Rescue Diver training will prepare you to prevent problems and, if necessary, manage dive emergencies. Knowledge development sessions are followed by confined and skills training and open water scenarios, where you will cover:
Self Rescue Review
Tired diver
Panicked diver
Response from shore, dock or boat (responsive diver)
Distressed diver underwater
Missing diver
Surfacing the unresponsive diver
Unresponsive diver at the surface
Exiting the unresponsive diver

You will also apply these skills in two open water scenarios. The extensive skills practise will have you well prepared to deal with any problems that may come your way during these scenarios! The knowledge developement portion consists of five knowledge reviews that you will cover with your instructor, a final exam, and the creation of an emergency assistance plan for a specific dive site.
