(2 and 1/2 to 3 days)

The best dive companion you will ever have or be is a rescue diver. This certification is for those who are ready to look beyond their own concerns on dives. We will rehearse techniques which keep the rescuer safe to stay the rescuer. Then practice those techniques as part of scenarios until they are fluid and mastered.

This is a prescriptive program which requires you review the Rescue Diver manual before we start the class. On day one we will meet in the afternoon somewhere comfortable and or fun for the academics. Any where but a boring class room. The next morning at the beach at 7:00 in the morning for your first dives.

What is included?

Tanks, weights and equipment specific to the rescue diver course

What is not included?

Personal scuba gear (other than tanks and weights) is not usually included in our price. At the level of rescue diver it is about time to have your own gear. However, borrowing a piece or two isn't a problem.

Books are not included in our price so you can buy them near home without being double charged. However, we will provide the books without a shipping charge when you book a class in time to receive them. As a last option, buy them here and allow precious time on your vacation to read them.
