The 3rd Reef Divers Rescue course is the pivotal moment when a diver becomes more than a regular dive buddy. Rescue Diver students are taught advanced self-rescue skills and are challenged to handle stressful situations underwater. As a Rescue Diver you are taught how to work as a team to accomplish underwater searches, underwater rescues, and surface rescues. Throughout the course, you will learn to prevent and manage problems in the water and become more confident in your skills as a diver. The 3rd Reef Divers Rescue course is one of the most challenging, yet rewarding courses you will ever take.
