SCUBA diving is an exciting sport, but like all adventure sports it has inherent risks that may result in injury or worse. Become a responsible diver and learn the techniques needed to prevent and recognize potential diving accidents.

As a Rescue Diver you will be trained first to identify potentially dangerous situations and so prevent accidents from happening. You will also learn what to do in the event that a surface or underwater rescue becomes necessary.

This class is recommended for all divers! Everyone should be proficient in rescue diving techniques. Taking this class will boost your confidence and strengthen your ability to help yourself and others in the event of a diving emergency. This class is a prerequisite for all SCUBA leadership courses and is a must for all divers!

I believe every diver should be rescue-trained. Make yourself an ideal dive buddy by being responsible and knowledgeable of rescue techniques. Don’t put it off any longer, sign up for a Rescue Class today! Remember our motto “SAFETY THROUGH EDUCATION!”
