The course that changes everything
Many divers call the Rescue Diver the most demanding but also most rewarding course of their diving career. You learn to look beyond yourself: to recognise stress and problems in others early, to react calmly and to help properly in an emergency. Afterwards you dive more relaxed — because you know you are prepared.
