Rescue

Diver Stress and Rescue

The course most divers say changed the way they dive. You learn to read stress in yourself and in the people around you long before it turns into an accident, and to handle the emergencies that do happen calmly and by the numbers. It is demanding, it is hands-on, and it is the last step before professional training.
