Rescue Diver prepares you for minor and major dive emergencies. You learn to recognize stress, manage a scene, and give first aid and life support. Confidence comes from running those scenarios in the water, not from sitting through a lecture. Typical slate is about 9 hours plus two dives. CPR / First Aid is a prerequisite; Emergency Oxygen Provider is often run the week before.
