The Rescue Diver Course is for any diver that wishes to improve their safety awareness in the water. This course emphasizes self-rescue and skills to rescue other divers. The skills learned are centered on recognition and response to a diving problem or emergency. It is the bridge between the Advanced Diver and Dive Master certification.
