As a Rescue Diver, you will gain more confidence in your diving abilities, and you’ll learn to look out for your fellow divers. You will become skilled at recognising and preventing a potential problem. But if a problem does occur, you’ll know how to handle it. As the saying goes… know what to do when no-one else does. You’ll learn first aid and safety procedures, be it on land or underwater.
Many people find that this course is one of the most gratifying, but it’s also fun (for you and the rest of the crew who become zealous actors in the scenarios!).
Before you start the Rescue Diver course, you will first complete a First Aid qualification, called EFR (Emergency First Response). If you can show proof of a sanctioned course in CPR, Primary Care and Basic First Aid, Secondary Care within the last two years, you do not need to do the EFR course.
