What you learn:
- Self rescue
- Recognizing and managing stress in other divers
- Emergency management and equipment
- Rescuing panicked divers
- Rescuing unresponsive divers
How to sign up:
- Call the shop to discuss dates and pay for the course 916-365-2410, or sign up for a date listed online.
- This course requires eLearning and 2 half days of diving.
- eLearning included.
- eLearning will be sent out from PADI after the course is paid for. Legal paperwork will come through email. eLearning has been shown to have up to a 21% higher retention rate for students. Complete this in your own time, anytime before the dives.
- Students also need to own their own Personal Gear. A dive computer is also required for this course. First Aid & CPR Certification required in order to process your certification. This can be obtained after the Rescue Course.
- Personal Gear Package: (Mask, Snorkel, Fins, Booties, Gloves) $50 credit towards this purchase for our students! These packages vary greatly, and should never be purchased online, as they need to be properly fitted by a Dive Professional, and need to be Life Support/Scuba Quality. We want to make sure your diving experience with us is #1! Any gear you purchase for your class that does not meet your needs or fit properly, will be exchanged for you, prior to your open water dives.
