The Rescue course is one of the most important specialties you can take. Diver stress is the unwelcome result of a lack of experience or the failure to take necessary precautions. This stress usually results in panic, and panic is what can cause diving accidents. Most of these accidents can be preventable by recognizing the onset of stress and then dealing with it, therefore preventing the panic.
Rescue skills are needed in case a diving accident has occurred, so you can assist the person in trouble as well as keeping yourself safe.

You will learn how to recognize stress and panic, help yourself or your buddy to overcome it, and how to rescue someone if an accident has occurred.

This course consists of online homework, 2-classroom sessions, 1-two hour pool session, and two dives in the open water.
