Rescue Diver

Serious fun – that is what the Rescue Diver Course is. The subject is serious – diving emergencies, but learning the skills no need to help divers in distress is really fun. You and the other students switch roles as rescuer and victim in all the 10 skill sessions of the course. The first sessions teach you how to deal with a conscious diver in distress. After a session on finding a missing diver (skills learned in the Search & Recovery course come in handy here) you progress to dealing with an unconscious diver in the water – brining the diver to the surface, doing artificial respiration, brining the diver out of the water and so on.

The course is supported by 5 theory sessions for which you are going to need the Rescue Diver Manualor the Rescue Diver Kit, which also includes a DVD showing all the skills you are going to learn. To take most advantage of the time you spent in the College, it might be an option to study the manual and look at the DVD before you arrive. To complete the Rescue diver course, you should plan two and a half days if you already read the theory, and three days if you did not have a chance to prepare yourself. In order to complete the Rescue Diver course, you must have a recent certification in First Aid (not older than 2 years). If you do not have a recent certification, you can combine an Emergency First Response course with your Rescue Diver course. Even better would be to opt for the Safety package, which also includes the Oxygen First Aid for Divers Specialty.

The Rescue Diver is completed with a series of scenarios in which you apply what you have learned to simulated emergencies. You also have to pass a theory exam, based on the information you have read in your manual.

The College can offer complete flexibility for the scheduling of your course. You can opt for half or full days, do several days of training without taking a break or take your course one day at a time. Learning is a personal experience and you should opt for a schedule that fits your needs. The current prices for our courses and services are found in the latest version of our brochure.
