Best Rescue Course...

[robertparson77]

I find Rescue courses quite quick and not to deep.....

Any idea about which are the best rescue courses? PADI, SSI, NAUI, Etc?

thanks

That will be opinion, I like the YMCA SLAM class.

I like the PADI course myself.

It like all other courses depends on the thoroughness of the instructor. I'm PADI rescue myself. But it is because of my instructor that I'm confident in my abilities.

PADI Rescue. The latest reworking of the course makes it second to none. 5 confined water sessions now, that reduces the two days of open water to one full day of open water, and the new training materials are an improvment as well. The knowledge retention and confidence level of the students after the course has improved as a result.

A lot of it depends on the instructor, some are a lot more thorough than others, but I've found PADI does it quite well.

The PADI Rescue course that we completed was very good. Just like with OW, it's the instructor not necessarily the certifying agency that counts.

Personally I like ours.
It happens to be SSI now, but between Smedley & me (mostly Smedley), we have either taken or taught YMCA, NAUI, PADI, NASDS and SSI rescue. Tom's kept the best of all and rolled 'em into the (IMNSHO) "best (Stress &) Rescue course."
