The Rescue Diver Course is one of the most important—and rewarding—steps in your scuba diving journey. Designed for certified divers who want to become safer, more aware, and more confident underwater, this course teaches you how to prevent problems and manage emergency situations effectively.
Through realistic surface and underwater scenarios, you’ll practise assisting conscious, unconscious, and panicked divers, along with a wide range of simulated diving accidents. While rescue training is serious, the interactive and role-playing nature of the course makes it both engaging and memorable. Many divers consider this course their favourite due to how much it transforms their confidence and situational awareness.
Why Take the Rescue Diver Course?
Scuba diving is an adventure sport—and with adventure comes responsibility. This course helps you look beyond yourself and become a more dependable dive buddy. You’ll learn to anticipate potential issues, respond calmly under pressure, and manage both minor and major emergencies.
At LiveInAdventures, our Rescue Diver training is carefully structured to balance theory with practical exercises, ensuring you gain real-world skills that can make a difference when it matters most.
