The real reason to take a Rescue class isn't so much to learn how to save someone else ... it's to learn how to keep yourself from needing to be rescued.
Certainly both aspects of the class are important, but accidents are rarely the result of one single event ... rather they're a chain of events that ultimately build up to a situation requiring intervention. A good Rescue class teaches you how to recognize when a situation is building up to that point, so that you can intervene ... either on your own behalf or that of another diver ... to deal with the problem before it turns into a rescue situation.
