Rescue Diver is a certification level within recreational scuba diving, emphasizing emergency response and diver rescue. The certification is provided by several organizations, including PADI, SSI, and NAUI.
Overview[edit]
The Rescue Diver course provides divers with the skills and knowledge necessary to manage risks and effectively handle limited in-water problems and diving emergencies. It is a pivotal step in expanding a diver's knowledge and experience. Rescue Divers learn to look beyond themselves to consider the safety and well-being of other divers.
Prerequisites[edit]
To enroll in a Rescue Diver course, divers must have an Advanced Open Water Diver certification or equivalent from a recognized training agency and be trained for first aid and CPR within the last two years.
Course Content[edit]
The Rescue Diver course covers a wide range of topics, including self-rescue, recognizing and managing stress in other divers, emergency management and equipment, rescuing panicked divers, and rescuing unresponsive divers.
Certification[edit]
Upon successful completion of the course, divers are awarded the Rescue Diver certification. This certification is a prerequisite for leadership-level training, such as Divemaster and Dive Instructor courses.
