Rescue Diver Course and Emergency First Response (EFR)

This 4 day course takes divers to another level. As a Rescue diver you will develop the awareness to prevent and deal with problems if they occur and become a role model and leader to other less experienced divers.

On the course you will practice emergency rescue techniques and procedures, first aid, and diver accident scenarios. There is a mix of theory, pool and open water sessions. Although this is a serious subject the course is enjoyable and a lot of fun.
