The Discount Divers Supply Rescue Diver Course gives you
the opportunity to expand your knowledge of diving and increase your level of diving skill.
It makes you more aware of what is happening around you in the diving environment. The course
is designed to develop the necessary knowledge and skills for you to effectively perform diver
rescues and assists, manage diving accident situations and render proper first aid.
Rescue Diver certification is also an important prerequisite for the
Divemaster rating, the first professional diver rating, and the distinguished
Master Scuba Diver rating, the highest non-professional rating in
scuba diving. Most importantly, rescue training can help you save lives and increase diving's
already excellent safety record by preparing you to respond properly to diving emergencies and
near emergencies.
Topics included in the course are first aid for diving illnesses and marine injuries, emergency procedures, rescue equipment, panic and distressed diver recognition, self rescue, rescue entries, approaches and assists, submerged diver rescue, missing diver procedures, in-water artificial respiration, rescue transport, exits and accident recording and reporting. In order to qualify for participation in the course, you must certified to a level of Advanced Open Water Diver or higher. Training in first aid is desirable but not required, although current certification in cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR) is a requirement for Rescue Diver Certification. Should you not have a current CPR certification, (trained in CPR within the last 2 years) the PADI Medic First Aid program available through Discount Divers Supply, will meet this requirement. Throughout this course every effort is made to expose you to realistic problem situations so as to gain skill in dealing with them. Our goal is to produce divers who are not only capable of dealing with problems, but who are aware of the environment and the potential problem situations around them. Only through awareness can you recognize problem situations and hence prevent accidents. As we all know, the best way of dealing with an accident situation is to prevent it from occurring in the first place. The Rescue Diver is truly an asset to the sport of diving.
