Rescue & EFR Courses
The Rescue Diver course is seen by almost all scuba divers who completed it as the most challenging, yet most rewarding course they’ve ever taken.
The Rescue Diver course teaches you to prevent and manage problems in the water, and become more confident in your skills as a diver, knowing that you can help others if needed. During the course, you learn to become a better buddy by practicing problem solving skills with proper application of learnt principles through sound advice and direction by your Instructors. While it is serious and deals with real life situations which can occur to anyone, anywhere, it can still be a lot of fun and an enjoyable experience.
